I personally own sourceforge.jp administrator right esp. for upload space, but many people around here might not understand Japanese, and re-getting account for sf.jp is tedious. There are IssueZilla (like bugzilla in other community) named meta-task `FreeBSD-4.8: Meta task - build OOo' http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=18060 so anyone who are interested in porting OOo can participate. Main discussion place is dev@porting.openoffice.org. Anyway, at the moment, I think collide with other commits might not be a serious problem for us. Since submitting any patches requres Joint Copyright Assignment (JCA) to SUN Microsystems. otherwise, patches won't be integrated for main tree, or re-written by the person who signed jca. Maybe only mbr and maho(me) is the person who have signed to JCA and also having commit right to FreeBSD ports tree. I don't think marked as IGNORE for 1 week is not the big problem for FreeBSD community. If someone needs working port, he/she can easily pull down from CVS repositry. Remember, mbr has been working for 1 or 2 years at openoffice-devel under BROKEN and I have been submitting draft of working 1.1.1b, 1.1.1a(non working) several mailing list e.g., dev@porting.openoffice.org or openoffice@FreeBSD.org. Before starting my job, I stated ``I'll work on this'' at mailing list. I think there are at least two possiblity: o development at port CVS repo is not a good way for FreeBSD community -> please get an account for public CVS repo for me o repo copy should be done as openoffice-1.1-devel and merge final product to openoffice-1.1. development of OOo should be done for openoffice-1.1-devel. -> please do repocopy request Sorry, I'm extremely busy, if someone can help us, please contact us and do it. Oliver, can you help us? Any comments are appreciated. thanks, nakata maho
