X-BeenThere: freebsd-openoffice@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Porting OpenOffice to FreeBSD List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sat, 27 Jan 2007 22:47:42 -0000 Dear co-developers, as the maintainer of most of our lang/gcc ports I wonder whether/when we can remove some of those old gcc ports such as lang/gcc-ooo? At my day job, we are regularily building OpenOffice.org, and have been doing so for some years, with our default GCC 3.3, GCC 4.0 and now GCC 4.1 system compilers. On a related note, why do we need six(!) ports of OpenOffice in the collection? openoffice.org-1.0 and even openoffice.org-1.1 are history; I doubt that user interest for these is high (or even existant). I believe that by getting rid of the lang/gcc-ooo port and openoffice.org-1.0 and openoffice.org-1.1 we will in the end make life for our users *and* the FreeBSD build cluster easier. Thanks, Gerald (@FreeBSD.org)
