[Issue 127288] New: Bad instructions for installation (Debian), lack of an INSTALL file inside folder.

https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=127288

          Issue ID: 127288
        Issue Type: DEFECT
           Summary: Bad instructions for installation (Debian), lack of an
                    INSTALL file inside folder.
           Product: Build Tools
           Version: 4.1.3
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Critical
          Priority: P5 (lowest)
         Component: documentation
          Assignee: issues@openoffice.apache.org
          Reporter: dosergio@gmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

Instalation for Debian is faulty.
The pdf give us a wrong command to run.
The command itself comes with bad characters from writer when copying to
console.

My suggestion is:

Attach ONLY one TXT file named INSTALL in DEBIANS folder with the CORRECT
syntax, (pdf says openoffice.org*deb and there is NO .org in the files!

Correct, short and happy INSTALL document to come inside DEBIANS folder:

------------------------------------------
"To install, run this commands as root:

dpkg -i --force-overwrite openoffice*.deb
cd desktop-integration
dpkg -i --force-overwrite openoffice*.deb

------------------------------------------

This is the instruction I had to go to wiki to found (why not ALONG with the
.debs?):

######### BAD MANUAL IN BAD SEPARATED AND ONLINE PLACE #########

I say online because the person NEEDS internet to view a wrong info, when a
good info could come INSIDE the package already downloaded.

Type the following command, to install the software:
dpkg -i -–force-overwrite openoffice.org*.deb \
 desktop-integration/openoffice.org-debian-menus*.deb

See bad characters in "--"force-over... a complete disaster! I was almost
throwing all files to trash but I got from the web the right way that OFFICIAL
SITE didn't supply

The best way will be to write an ODT document with new instructions.
Once did, please attach it here and this issue could be fixed.

correcting
I meant inside the main folder, just above DEBIANS folder. Have a INSTALL or
README txt file with the instructions. 
Accessing wiki on internet is exclusive. One may want to run it OFFLINE.
Having terminal commands in Rich text applications usually lead to erros due to
wrong types of quotation ' " for instance.

What about the suggestion of dispatching is inside the debians folder instead
of demanding user to access internet and wiki ?

As I said, odt may carry bad characters if the user wants to copy directly to
terminal.
IMHO a txt file is the best for putting terminal commands... What you think?
