Oh yeah, this *is* definately better. Just tried it. The first reason being is that it removes the chance of forgetting the '-x' and walking away, but I was also delighted with this output: ---> Skipping 'editors/openoffice-1.1' because it is held by user (specify -f to force) Which makes it nice to remember it's still there, and when the port gets fixed for 5.3, I'll be reminded to try again at some point.

Also, what are the folks up on ootranslation.services doing to get this package built that can't be done with the source for 1.1.3_1 on 5.3, why can't this port on 5.3, and if it is failing, shouldn't it be marked as 'broken' on 5.3?

openoffice on 5.3-RELEASE
Hello, Has anybody been able to get OpenOffice installed from port on 5.3-RELEASE ? I am running 5.3-RELEASE-p2 (Xorg and JDK1.4.2p7 also installed) Yesterday, I attempted: # portinstall openoffice and chose editors/openoffice-1.1 14 hours later... the output looked like it built cleanly, but during the install phase it bombed with: ./install.sh not found error code 127 Sigh..it's always OpenOffice that gives me headaches. I tried to just do a pkg_add -rv openoffice and that got me openoffice-1.1.2, which I guess I could live with until it gets fixed, but then I discovered during 'openoffice-1.1.2-setup' that characters were overlapping in all of the dialogs and menus. I don't know if that was a problem with my display or the character set/language, but I just ripped out the package in frustration. So discouraging.
