https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D238629 Bug ID: 238629 Summary: editors/libreoffice does NOT need gpatch Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Keywords: easy, patch Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: office@FreeBSD.org Reporter: mi@FreeBSD.org Assignee: office@FreeBSD.org Flags: maintainer-feedback?(office@FreeBSD.org) Created attachment 205147 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=3D205147&action= =3Dedit Remove the dependency on devel/patch Long ago we were allowing OpenOffice to build its own versions of various software packages -- instead of making it use what FreeBSD's ports provided= -- and it needed patch(1) to do the building. We no longer do that in the libreoffice port -- and, hopefully -- not in OpenOffice either. But we still have the gpatch dependency -- and the upstream still have a configure-script verify, that the patch(1) is GNU-compatible (only on SunOS, FreeBSD, and Darwin, though). It is not needed however -- which is especially important now, when gpatch = is found to have (yet unfixed) security holes (https://vuxml.FreeBSD.org/freebsd/791841a3-d484-4878-8909-92ef9ce424f4.htm= l). --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
