OK. After checking, the merge seems reasonable, as explained here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/abiword/+bug/202174/comments/24 Two differeces, libgnomeui and gnomevfs, can be neglected. The former one is just to use GNOME toolbar, which is already replaced by GtkToolbar. The latter has already disappeared in all Makefiles. Two differences left: - libgucharmap: to use gucharmap widget for symbol insertion dialog. (Fine, but currently crashes if closed without choosing any char) - libgoffice: I'm not sure about this. One thing I heard about was collaborative editing. > Another issue to consider is that it repacks upstream separate tarballs > into one.

According to Ubuntu, this repacking, at least for the merge of abiword and abiword-plugins, allows some useful plug-ins to be shipped by default, such as ODF filter. -- Theppitak Karoonboonyanan http://linux.thai.net/~thep/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
