The port is kept clean especially for that reason. are you saying me that if I want staroffice-6, I have to get rid of linux_base-6, to install linux_base-7 and to tweak it myself to make linux_netscape working fine ? are you serious... I a wonderfull world, I only have to install linux_base-7 to make staroffice-6 happy, and linux_compat-7 to make linux_netscape happy. no more, no less. so, a compat port would greatly simplify things and linux_base-6 wouldn't be needed any more. that is what I anderstand but maybe I'm wrong somewhere.
