I think the barriers to assisting will be significantly lessened by fixing Bug#519514, “Vcs-* control fields incorrect”. They *are* correct. You need debian/ *and* ooo-build. There will be even more barriers when you just point to debian/. That will just do nothing you can use to build a package. (Yes, there's a get-ooo-build target, though, but you get a problem when you already have the sources there in ooo-build/src). Hacking on the package can also be done on the source package you get using apt-get source. But yes, I agree it'd be easier if we didn't have the extra ooo-build there (or if we switched to 3.0 (quilt) with an extra ooo-build tarball. Grüße/Regards, René -- .''`.

Hi Rene, I wish to offer my humble services to help maintain openoffice package. I have never worked on Debian package before, but I have some coding experience, so I wish helping to maintain a package which I use daily would teach me inner workings of Debian packaging. Dunno yet where to start, but I'm a fast learner :) BR, Sami -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

What about build with neon26? Tried yesterday, but I was out of disk space; thought six gigs would be enough - it isn't. How big is the build directory after successful compilation?

Tried yesterday, but I was out of disk space; thought six gigs would be enough - it isn't. How big is the build directory after successful should be. (Around 6G, the i386 buildd needed 5904536k for the last build it did (2.0.4.dfsg.2-6). One trick is to just build english (export DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=lang=en-US. That also reduces build time (and is used on the buildds). The problem with neon 26 was that it builds but doesn't work; OOo crashes with a webdav exception; see the bugs I closed with reverting to 25. I didn't have much time to look into that after I noticed that, I still hoped to get this in for etch r0 so I did the quick way. (and -7 is approved for etch r1). Regards, Rene -- .''`.

Hi Rene, I would like to help in maintaining such a package, but since I cannot estimate how much spare time I'll have, I would like to start browsing all bug reports and checking them for reproducibility against the latest version. Is this ok for you? Is there any coordination list for working on openoffice? Bye, Giuseppe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Is this ok for you? Is there any coordination list for working on openoffice? Yes. Luca Bedgoni already started to work on this, though, maybe you want to coordinate with him. What he found out so far: I looked, as i've promised, at the BTS, and found the following issues. Prior to submit information or closing bugs on the BTS, I ask to you, because it's the first time we collaborate. Feel free to report comments :) 282546: resolved, hence to close 286592: ask if the problem is still persistant 293578: ask if the problem is still persistant 296335: ask if the problem is still persistant 297228: moreinfo, ask if the problem is still persistant 306747: moreinfo, ask if the problem is still persistant 308600: ask if the problem is still persistant 312549: ask if the problem is still persistant 324535: it seems that the problem is not related with openoffice, but with nfs.

Bug#419523: RFH: openoffice.org -- OpenOffice.org Office suite
Package: wnpp Severity: normal I request assistance with maintaining the openoffice.org package. The package description is: OpenOffice.org is a full-featured office productivity suite that provides a near drop-in replacement for Microsoft(R) Office. . This metapackage installs all components of openoffice.org: * openoffice.org-writer: Word processor * openoffice.org-calc: Spreadsheet * openoffice.org-impress: Presentation * openoffice.org-draw: Drawing * openoffice.org-base: Database * openoffice.org-math: Equation editor * openoffice.org-filter-mobiledevb: Mobile Devices filters * openoffice.org-filter-binfilter: legacy filters (e.g. StarOffice 5.2) . You can extend the functionality of OpenOffice.org by installing these packages: * hunspell-dictionary-*/myspell-dictionary-*: Hunspell/Myspell dictionaries for use with OpenOffice.org * openoffice.org-l10n-*: UI interface translation * openoffice.org-help-*: User help * openoffice.org-thesaurus-*: Thesauri for the use with OpenOffice.org * openoffice.org-hyphenation-*: Hyphenation patterns for OpenOffice.org * openoffice.org-gtk: Gtk UI Plugin, GNOME File Picker support, QuickStarter for GNOMEs notification are * openoffice.org-gnome: GNOME VFS, GConf backend * openoffice.org-kde: KDE UI Plugin and KDE File Picker support * menu: Will add openoffice.org menu entries for every Debian window manager. * unixodbc: ODBC database support * cupsys-bsd: Allows OpenOffice.org to detect your CUPS printer queues automatically * libsane: Use your sane-supported scanner with OpenOffice.org * libxrender1: Speed up display by using Xrender library * libgl1: OpenGL support * openclipart-openoffice.org: Open Clip Art Gallery with OOo index files * iceweasel | firefox | icedove | thunderbird | iceape-browser | mozilla-browser: Mozilla profile with Certificates needed for XML Security... * openoffice.org-filter-binfilter: Legacy filters (e.g. StarOffice 5.2) * msttcorefonts: Installs standard MS truetype fonts (contrib) * java-gcj-compat/gij-4.1 | j2re1.4 (non-free) | java2-runtime Java Runtime Environment for use with OpenOffice.org * pstoedit / imagemagick: helper tools for EPS thumbnails * gstreamer0.10-plugins-*: GStreamer plugins for use with OOos media backend The team mentioned in thze Maintainer field currently consists of me (with the rare exception of some people sending patches) I don't relly have the time to maintain this big package alone, although I have done so far since 2.0.0 basically... That shows itself in the number of open bugs (many of them are probably just obsolete and many of those not obsolete are upstream bugs and need forwarding...). If you don't want tp help maintaining this package you also could help in various other ways (like handling the BTS, cleaning up etc). But someone who helps with (maintaining it is also welcome. I'll be available to answer any questions; you will have some I think :) Regards, Rene signature.asc Description: Digital signature
