The mozilla ab stuff needs a patched mozilla and some internal mozilla headers so either you include the binary mozilla stuff or build an own mozilla copy ourselves again. Both are no options.

If those two libraries were included then most likely this No, it's not. It's deliberate. We are a) *not allowed* to include binary-only mozilla zips and b) the ftpmasters, buildd team and security team will kill us if we build an own mozilla. This is a nightmare for (security-)bug fixing. Not to mention that it will increase OOos package size.... > bug would go away. Indeed. But it's not as easy as you think, means: not possible currently. You can happily try to work on it and make it work, though and send us patches... But I doubt you'll get far. OOo upstream sucks with some lib/app handling, that's no news..... Regards, Rene
