I would be more than glad seeing the old spirit, that the port maintainer does his best, to get best results without having n people spending their time to fiddle around. Currently both doesn't work a) trying to install new linux-base over old and running old and new binaries (things that simply run in native FreeBSD world) b) removing every linux-* port and only trying latest staroffice I don't remember the exact reasons, but I was a little bit unhappy not being able to try the latest staroffice even after removing older port using older linux compat binaries ... So much work for no result at all ... If only the new staroffice works with the linux_base7 port, then I think this port is not of much use at all, since I can't imaging of a person who uses only staroffice and no linux-navigatore etc ... So could somebody please try to find out, if there is a possibility, to use the newest libs, provide compat libs for older linux binaries... Currently new stuff is simply broken and makes people unhappy. Ports collection should at least provide working binaries or mark it as broken. If you can't reproduce, I could try to make a better bug report at the weekend. But since I have to prepare for Solaris certifications, I didn't plan not to spend more time on this which at least the port maintainer should easily be able to reproduce himself. --=20 Andreas Klemm - Powered by FreeBSD Need a magic printfilter today ? http://www.apsfilter.org/ Songs from our band >> 64Bits << http://members.aol.com/II64BitsII/ Inofficial band pages with add-on stuff http://www.apsfilter.org/64bits.ht= ml --s/l3CgOIzMHHjg/5 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (FreeBSD) Comment: Weitere Infos: siehe http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE79LJhd3o+lGxvbLoRAo3WAJ4416hQwoeXv2WmB/g+L7w1fYFDmQCfVcnW RAgOJ4AyS1CNrud9dlFeglY= =dk/p -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --s/l3CgOIzMHHjg/5-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
