We have independent repositories so how would dmake go away? > Have they moved away from dmake? Not much more than OOo has. Of course we are merging in any work on moving modules to gbuild if/as you do it, and doing some work on it by ourselves, too. > If not, then where are the FreeBSD and Debian getting the code from? Well, at least Debian got it from OOo, as building OOo/LO is the only purpose of dmake in Debian, I think? > Can't we just use it from there? For people who build on Debian or derivatives, sure. But for other distros, Windows, MacOSX you would need to provide dmake packages. Or make downloading a dmake tarball and building it part of the build mechanism, if that is acceptable from a "license purity" point of view. --tml
