well, it's my understanding that it's 4.6-STABLE until 4.7-PRERELEASE,
at which point it hits 4.7 RELEASE and goes into 4.7-STABLE.

did the patch actually work, though?  curious for my own uses.  a
somewhat more obvious notice that a patch is required (like something in
the pkg-message) would have been helpful to know ahead of time.  it's
been awhile since i tried to build openoffice, but i don't seem to
recall getting any message about it when the install failed.. looking
through a makefile that large for something so specific isn't usually
something i do! i usually look for options (i.e. -WITH_SVGALIB=YES kinda
stuff) or gnome-specific things that i don't want.

perhaps i'll give it a go this afternoon..my girlfriend will be happy to
know whether or not it works, since she just made the switch to freebsd
from win2k (round of applause?).  in any case, it seems you actually
helped me out in pointing out such a small thing that i overlooked..and
in turn, answered your own question.
