[Slackbuilds-users] libreoffice.SlackBuild: request for enhancement

[Sebastien BALLET]

Hello,

The .desktop files installed in /opt/libreoffice<VER>/share/xdg and
symlinks to that files in /usr/share/applications have version number
in their name (ex libreoffice6.1-writer.desktop) which force user to
re-create/update any links/reference (placed on KDE desktop for instance)
to that files on each libreoffice version number increment.

To avoid that, the patch below (also in attachment) creates symlinks
without libreoffice version number in their names in
/usr/share/applications.
