Hi all,

I'm porting OpenOffice build 641 at the moment.

While Looking at the NetBSD ports tree I've seen that
they have many wishful features we do not have:

- One can have several distfiles with different endings like
  .bzip2 and .tar.gz and ports handles this and extract it.

- One can say "SITES_$DISTFILE" and the distfile only
  gets fetched form this location. Ver useful if you have
  many distfiles on different locations

- They have a Conflict mechanism.

- The support previous versions of dependency with a regular
  expressions mechanism.

I bet there are a lot more improvments. Can we integrate them into
the FreeBSD ports tree ? What do you think ?

Martin
