No idea why there isn't an openoffice pkg yet for 6.2/amd64, but some of us are running that on laptops, not servers, and we like to do things like edit documents. Broke down and built the port, which took about 24 hours (after I found & installed all dependent packages [built dependencies for a couple days before that]), but it went well and functions. I'd really like to skip doing that on my other system, however. So, is there a standard description of what files, folders, etc, make up a package, other than the makefile, such that I can copy openoffice to my other machine(s)? For that matter, is there a standardized way to build a pkg from a port, or is that entirely up to the port maintainer? See where I'm headed? Or am I hopelessly naive? Steve
