last time I tried on Linux some years ago with the latest upstream, it had several bugs; looking at the release notes, it seems they fixed several Linux bugs. https://www.msweet.org/projects.php?Z2 > The reliance on PackageMaker is a major > hurdle and one which will only get worse as things go on. > > epm 4.3 may not be feasible for non-OSX but so far it's been a > major boon for the Mac. The build system seems to do some weird things, checking if epm is patched by AOO: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/openoffice/trunk/main/solenv/bin/modules/installer/epmfile.pm?revision=1591062&view=markup#l849 I guess unpatched epm breaks somewhere. Note that we could also update the AOO patch to make epm get rid of the PackageMaker, the patch already fixes the path: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/openoffice/trunk/main/epm/epm-3.7.patch?revision=1413471&view=markup#l381 We could change that system call. > Has anyone been in contact w/ Michael Sweet to get our required > patches into his distro?? It seems that Sun developers didn't care about upstreamming their fixes, I tried now to look at the 4.3 bug fixes, and it required an account... https://www.msweet.org/login.php?PAGE=bugs.php%3FU497%2BP0%2BS-2%2BI0%2BE0%2BZ-1%2BQ Regards -- Ariel Constenla-Haile La Plata, Argentina
