I would like to propose to delete two unused modules: main/splitbuild
and main/writerperfect
- splitbuild looks like a collection of files that drive (drove) some
sort of build script to build selected parts of OpenOffice.
It may or may not be related to what is described in [1]. splitbuild
depends on postprocess but nothing depends on splitbuild, therefore it
is not used in any of our builds.
- writerperfect is a second module that is not used anymore. The only
module that depends on writerperfect is splitbuild.
= There are some references in sysui to the wpf file format
(application/vnd.writerperfect).
= There is a configure switch --with-system-libwpd. It would
trigger
the building of library libwpft, which is referenced in postprocess and
scp2, but without a dependency on module writerperfect this library is
never built and using --with-system-libwpd could only lead to an error.
This has to do with the processing of Word Perfect files, right?
If we remove this module would this capability no longer exist?
The support for WordPerfect files was already removed in 3.4.0, for
security reasons as well as license issues. What we're talking about
here is some related code that is not currently being used.

OK. An awareness issue on my part, although I don't see anything in the
release notes for either 3.4.0 or 3.4.1 about this. There is info on the
forums about the removal for licensing issues, however.
The security issue related to WPD files was here:
http://www.openoffice.org/security/cves/CVE-2012-2149.html

Ok, thanks. Hopefully, we can make changes/removals like this more
obvious in the future.
So, it makes sense to remove this code.
Does anybody know of any reason not to delete the two modules?
Regards,
Andre
