Hi, The 14. of October, OOo.org has released a new developer version of OpenOffice. I fetched the cvs version of 643 several times, but was too busy to work on it. http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/source/643 I'm working on porting the FreeBSD patches to this version. The plan is then to merge all accepted and tested patches into the FreeBSD/MacOSX Tree. There are already about 10 patches integreated, which are now obsoleted. To merge the patches one has to do the following: The patches need to be applied from within the config_office directory. There are about 30 rejects which needs to be fixed, and of course checking each patch if it is still accurate. Work is needed in the following areas: - Adapt all patches to the new developer build. (I'm working on this currently.) - Merge the new patchset into the OOO_STABLE_1_PORTS branch and into HEAD where possibe. (I'll do that, since I've got commit access to the OpenOffice repo) - Make ccache working with the build. AFAIK this should now work with OO 643, but does not yet in our port of 642 (OO 1.01). Backport this to the OO 1.01 build. - Remove procfs dependency from 642 and 643 ports completly for BSD since running procfs is a security issue. (Not started yet) Kan told me that he has a idea how to do this ;) I got the idea, but had not yet the time to do it. - Testing testing testing. That means calling all options and menues and try also to load huge documents and use it for daily like business things which are not critical. - Integrate the main OO build into the bento cluster. This means that portsmgr needs to fix jdk depending ports and preinstall a jdk for them which is deleted again afterwards. - Create, design the freebsd.openoffice.org porting website. Manage the webpage and keep it up to date. - Fix crash in File -> Autopilot -> Form (happens still with OO 1.01) - oodicts ports and packages: Add Hyph dictionaries to the spell checking dictionaries. This affects all ooodict ports. Release a new set of ooodict packages. - Release the ooo.org packages on the OO.org download locations. Use the Ooo.org name conventions for the packages. - Look at ALT-Linux patches and decide what we can/should use for our OO 1.01 port. (There are some russian/ukraine fixes there). Alexandr Kovalenko <never@nevermind.kiev.ua> is working on this. - Help Michael Rauch to get the NetBSD openoffice port working again. (1.01 is completly broken on NetBSD at the moment). - Give a interview to Michael Lucas <mwlucas@blackhelicopters.org> about the Project and the efforts. This is not a complete list. Help and ideas are highly welcome. I'll make a status list like the freebsd smpng status list and make it available of http://projects.imp.ch/openoffice. And help is welcome !
