However, your approach is quite different from that of the rest of the FreeBSD ports collection. Imagine, each port building its own compiler! Even if each *significant* port was to build its own compiler, it would still be a nightmare. You'd have a kde-gcc, gnome-gcc, xorg-gcc, xfree86-gcc, mozilla-gcc (with optional gnome-gcc), etc. This is not right. > :( gccs always have regressions. that is the reason why I committed > lang/gcc-ooo and I fixed the version of gcc to compile OOo. This is HORRIBLE. We should not be forking a compiler like that. You should have made our compiler people add your fixes to the system compiler and/or to the gcc-* ports. > If you are talking about my policy, > please see Policy section of > http://porting.openoffice.org/freebsd/ > Provide vanilla OOo package. Changes must be minimal or enhancements > must be activated via special build flags. I'm sorry, but your policy contradicts the FreeBSD ports policy -- at least, my understanding of it. If this letter of mine is not sufficiently convincing, let's ask portmgr@ and ports@ for mediation. Or, maybe, I'll just create an editors/openoffice-clean. Yours, -mi
