Hi,

Is building from ports the only way to install OpenOffice on 4.2-current?
I am unable to find OpenOffice package in the snapshots directory, so
this seems to be the only way as of now. The one from release does not
install on -current (last time I tried it).

Seeing the time and resources needed to build OOo, I can understand
why it is not being routinely built. Apart from packages, does anyone do
a OOo routine build, which can be made available? The only reason I
ask is it will be easier to download a package and install on -current,
rather than do the build everytime! (My laptop is churning out the build
since about 8 hrs. now, and I don't know how much more it will take). If
this goes through fine, I will make the package public.

Oh, and the build broke last night because I ran out of space. OOo does
need gigs of space to build (4G free in /usr, I read somewhere). Thanks.
