FWIW, I agree. We've already seen how simple, obvious changes have a nasty ripple effect. Having a major restructure "now" would, from what I can see, have a major impact on us being able to release 4.2.0 in anything close to "soon"...
I also have issues w/ fixing/restructuring things that work... dmake is weird, but it does seem to work, and unless we can completely rework the entire build system, I'd prefer to see us work on closing bugs and making releases and port to gbuild those parts that must be updated. Of course, this is a volunteer project and no one can, or should, force someone to work on stuff they don't want to or prevent someone from scratching an itch. I'd just like the project to be working together with a more unified vision... > On Mar 1, 2019, at 10:31 PM, Patricia Shanahan <p...@acm.org> wrote: > > The OpenOffice build system is both complicated and fragile.
