[urgent] [Mac OS X ] 1.9.xxx and localization strings for installation

Hi,


We need to define the exact way we provide an archive, and what this 
archive does contain.


As reminder, please note I'm talking about these issues :

*TASKS* -> We have to choose what we exactly do for :
*42998*     TASK     P3     Powe     ericb     NEW         Mac OS X 
installer build of core application
*42999*     TASK     P3     Powe     ericb     NEW         Localized 
files for OOo2.0 MacOSX installer
(don't forget that localized strings are missing in #i42999#. Waiting, 
en-US will be used as default)

Done :  43000     TASK     P4     Powe     ericb     NEW         Icons 
for OOo2.0 Mac OSX installer



At this time, a directly buildable, complete and easy to install 
solution (using portable files and a .dmg archive) already exists. But 
we have a problem, because some objectives cannot be reached whith this 
solution :
- language packs are forgotten (important issue);
- .ttf are omitted : Mac Users complain since ages about this problem, 
because they cannot use the native fonts.

So we actually are thinking to a new one :
- .pkg  ( a metapackage in fact, with all .pkg in one) +  a simple 
launcher inside
- include a fondu mechanism inside, to automatically add .ttf fonts 
while first install (silently)

Installation process :  double click the archive, and user follows 
instructions (and reads license too...). At the end (using a postinstall 
script), a folder opens, containing :
- the OpenOffice.org tree
- the launcher ( " launcher " means a drag and dropable icon)

The launcher is dockable. OOo can be started with one click on the 
docked icon, or from the folder containing the icon.


What is expected here :  your vote for one or the other solution, with 
(or without) just some essentials arguments

P.S. : If you want to test, two different solutions, close of what is 
proposed, are available :

- as .dmg : 
<http://ooofr.org/telechargement/macosx/2.0/OpenOffice.org-1.9.128_en-US.dmg>

- as .pkg.zip (fondu is actually not inside) : 
<http://ftp.stardiv.de/pub/OpenOffice.org/contrib/MacOSX/OOo_1.9.128_MacOSX_en-US.pkg.zip>
