Description Mike 2021-04-24 17:51:04 UTC 
Description:
Deploying and updating the macOS versions of language packs in a managed environment is a pain in the butt, mostly because the installed packages do not contain useful version information and they do not leave behind a proper pkg receipt. Therefor there is no easy way to check which version might already be installed and whether an update is required.

While also distributing LibreOffice as a macOS installer pkg would be ideal, proper version information in the Info.plist that could be queried by a script should work well enough.

Right now the Info.plist of "LibreOffice Language Pack.app" contains a CFBundleShortVersionString = 9 instead of 7.1.2.2 (as the LibreOffice.app does) regardless of the actual version.

This could be easily fixed, please do so and thank you.
