The basic problem with targeting to 5.2.1-RELEASE is that it has huge gobs =
of=20
obsolete library dependencies.  A similar problem exists tracking a 4.x=20
RELEASE verses -STABLE.  It would be far, far better mirror the package=20
building mechanism on bento (i.e., build packages for -STABLE and -CURRENT)=
=2E =20
As it stands now, although I can override the warnings on pkg_add, the=20
installed OpenOffice is dead as a door nail on -CURRENT (it seems to be=20
looking for libraries that are no longer there).

P.S.  Having the ability to haul down the packages conveniently and install=
=20
them from the ports Makefile for OpenOffice would be a real plus.  I also=20
applaud your efforts to de-couple some of the builds out.  The build is way=
=20
too monolithic (which means that the slightest failure in any one component=
=20
and you have just wasted DAYS building the thing).  Finally, a dedicated SD=
K=20
port is needed so that plugins can be ported (I would like to port the=20
WordPerfect plugin, but there's currently no dependency to point to for the=
=20
SDK).
