This was a deliberate, if ancient, decision by RH UX team back in the day https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=156677#c2 Perhaps we shouldn't bother with these sort of customizations any more. Hey Caolan, can we revisit this please? We still do not want LibreOffice Math to appear to be installed by default, since it's not of such wide general interest like Writer/Calc/Impress. Understanding that it's not cleanly separated from the rest of LibreOffice, perhaps the best option would be to split its desktop file out into a separate subpackage, like you just recently did for Draw. Then we can have it installed by default (as before) while appearing not to be (as before), while also allowing it to be "installed" using GNOME Software (as we do with Draw). Ideally, applications would be separate from each other and we wouldn't need weird confusing schemes like this. But since LibreOffice wasn't designed to match Fedora's expectations for applications, at least Fedora can fake it very nicely with this subpackage trick. ;) (In reply to Michael Catanzaro from comment #2) > like you just recently did for Draw (That was bug #1793632.) sigh, it all seems like makey-up work and we endlessly respin trivial stuff that matters so little We track default apps pretty closely because it's important for the default user experience to not be bloated. So I don't really care how you accomplish it, but please make LibreOffice Math disappear one way or the other. ;) I think the subpackage solution makes everyone happy, but just hiding the desktop file again would also be fine as far as Workstation is concerned. libreoffice-6.4.1.2-2.fc32 will move all the libraries and config of -math into -core leaving just the .desktop, shell script launcher and man page behind in -math FEDORA-2020-8c6e0fa283 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 32. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2020-8c6e0fa283 libreoffice-6.4.1.2-2.fc32 has been pushed to the Fedora 32 testing repository.
