AFAIK a (currently hypothetical) iOS port would presumably not be able to use neon due to its LGPL license and Apple App Store's copyleft licensing censorship regime, that's the main reason why the Serf module and its dependencies (APR/APR-util) still exist. APR is a low-level OS abstraction library, and we already have the internal "sal" library for the same purpose, which is part of our public ABI so we can't get rid of it anyway; also with C++11's standard library additions a lot of this stuff is obsolete anyway. but if you want to add LO to some wiki page, sure go ahead, nobody is going to object to that :) _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list [email protected] https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
