From the Description of dmake 1:4.12-2 "make utility used to build OpenOffice.org" in Ubuntu's Package Manager. It would seem that is
all that it is used for.

Thanks for checking Andy!

FreeBSD also has it and it's used to build 9 packages.

I will see if the FreeBSD port needs updating but I guess there's no need to start a repository for dmake unless we want to have some control
over it (not likely).

Would there be any benefit to dropping dmake in favor of more
readily-available build tools?

That's already going on. We started a move to GNU Make, but not all
our code modules have been converted to it. And as we already
discussed, we don't want to convert the rest before we can get the
first build of OOo@Apache.

Oh ... this is GREAT!!

Not that I didn't have faith in you, just wanted to make sure there
would be a plan B in place ... and save someone else from creating another
dmake fork :).

Pedro.
