It's been over two weeks since I opened ticket #37. I still haven't heard back from Jaeger. The impact of the name change of libgsf, to gnome-libgsf is minimal. Affected ports are: contrib/librsvg maol/gnome pazo/planner The slim version of libgsf only depends on glib, and libxml2; and is far more appropriate as a dependency of libwv2. The only issue I can think of, is that of a user who decides to rebuild all installed ports. His current libgsf would be replaced by the new/basic libgsf, which might cause other GNOME packages to fail. I would imagine that a user who would rebuild their system "for the fun of it" or "for new optimizations" would also be knowledgeable enough to post a ticket or message to the mailing list? He would then be made aware of the change to gnome-libgsf. Can I go ahead and: 1. cp libgsf to gnome-libgsf 2. commit my basic libgsf 3. email maol and pazo to tell them about the changes ?? Nick

Wow, man, I'm really sorry. I thought I had responded to you already on this matter. My brain must be turning to mush. :( I've got nothing against renaming the fat version of libgsf to gnome-libgsf or libgsf-gnome or whatever's appropriate. Sorry for the delay. :( I'll go ahead and do that or if you want to when you put your libgsf into contrib, that's fine. Just let me know if I need to. :) Matt (jaeger@freenode/#crux)

Relating to the the recent koffice fix: Abiword can make use of a similar library. "Wv" vs "libwv2". It serves the same purpose: the importing/conversion to/from Doc/PS/PDF/HTML/LaTeX/DVI/ABW... Very handy, though it needs someone with a gnome box who feels like importing jheino's wv port, and testing abiword with it. Cheers, Nick

It makes use of the wv library, which is part of the abiword package.

I doubt that it is worth spending time for this, because abiword is still a buggy piece of software, not realy usable for production use. Ok, the port in unmaintained is my port, but that's because I'm just curious how things are going on. Greetings Jürgen -- Juergen Daubert | mailto:jue@jue.li Korb, Germany | http://jue.li/crux
