Hello; Maho-san has updated openoffice-devel to the last version that used stlport internally. This is a great advance for the upstream OpenOffice as it means that it will start using modern STL functionality by default. In general OpenOffice now uses TR1 functionality from Boost to replace what libstdc++ may not have. Unfortunately this will not work in FreeBSD 9.x due to a bug in boost. In order to update OpenOffice further it is necessary (but probably not sufficient) to either update boost to version 1.55 (best) or apply ports/181044. I know there have been complains about the maintenance (or lack of it) in the openoffice ports but there are limits on to what Maho and I can do. It would also be great if someone works on adding staging to the OpenOffice ports. Best regards, Pedro.
