[Libreoffice] Fewer datasources for AddressBook wizard functionality on MacOSX ?

2011-06-17 Thread Alexander Thurgood
Hi,

Could anyone indicate to me the rationale for not providing as many
datasource choices for the AddressBook wizard on Mac OSX when compared
to the other OSes ?

On Mac :
NeoOffice offers 13 possibilities.
LibreOffice only 10.

The difference : LDAP, Thunderbird address book, Mozilla address book.

Mac OSX server (which I happen to have in my work environment) provides
LDAP as a native service. Thunderbird, love it or hate it, is probably
the most ubiquitous mail client after Mail.app.

So where is the rationale for not providing these ? When it was OOo, a
decision was made to chop them out of Mac OSX. The Linux distros kept
providing them, as indeed does the current Windows build of LibreOffice
I believe. So why is Mac left out in the lurch ? Is there some kind of
build problem associated with providing access to them ? I'm just
curious as to why, when we endeavour to provide as broad a support as
possible on the other platforms for this address book feature, we still
have it crippled on Mac OSX ?

This is inherited, see
http://openoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=91209
and search for 91209 in the source. 

This may be out of date now, try re-enabling it in connectivity, and in
scp2, for MacOSX and report back if it works.
