I'm fully disagree with your package. Didn't I see a mail, in what you said, that you intent to pack OpenOffice, too? I mean, we had have work together, we were discussing on debian-openoffice, how we pack OpenOffice and you did it and you did nothing, we discussed it. But worst thing, IMHO, one deb for the whole OpenOffice, that's heavy! >I've saw ITP onopenoffice by Noel Koethe, Clay Crouch and Adrian Bunk. >Are you still trying to build openoffice in a package? is it ok, if I'll >ITP it too and upload?

You know, JDK is highly non-free and not in debian. Its only in incoming. So, if OpenOffice comes in an autobuilder, it will not be build, because, JDK is not able to be installed by apt. My thought of OpenOffice was: We grap trough the source and makes it compileable on as much as possible on several arches. Therefor, we have to wait for gcc-3.0 support. Actually, the source 638c does not kompile with gcc-3.0, libstlport-4.0 doesn't kompile with gcc-3.0, too. The next thing, I want is, that we became JDK-independent with OpenOffice and gpc-indipendent, because, OpenOffice will depend on this, and it will not came into main. But to get the whole Debian- Support, OpenOffice should came into main, this means a lot of work. And last but not least, I don't want to download a 180MB debian-package. OpenOffice is modular, so we should work with it and provide smaller OpenOfficepackages! >Package uses doogie build system so it will be easy to work in team, if >you would like that. Hey .. what do you think, why we are discussing on debian-openoffice? >Here is my TODO, I'd like to hear what you are working on, to distribute >our work. We are working on understanding the source and make it provideable for debian. Just in time, this peace of source is not providable for debian. >ToDo: >- Get rid of java ok >- Divide everything in arch-dependant and arch independant parts I think, it would be better to see, which parts are in debian. IDL for example is right packaged in debian. I think, it is nessessary to have a look after parts in OpenOffice, which could be provided by well known libs in debian. This would debugging much easier... IMHO >- After previous step is done, start porting to other platforms. (It's >great that openoffice was ported to powerpc, yay!) No ... on the one Hand, the source must compileable with a compiler, which present on all arches, we have in debian. There are two or three of them working only with gcc-3.0. This source doesn't work on them :(. To get it work is a thing of the OpenOffice - upstreamauthers. If they had have written ansi-code, it would not be a problem. But I have a discussion thread on openoffice-discuss about debian and OpenOffice. >- Extract language packs and make multi languagable openoffice.
