FreeBSD port is now builds and working

Hi

FreeBSD port is now builds and working.
here is a port file:
MD5 (openoffice-3-devel.20120106.4.tar.gz) = 472688f408d5f3d4fa7f8f97c40fcafd
http://accc.riken.jp/maho/openoffice-3-devel.20120106.4.tar.gz

Hi Rob,

I kept silent until my commit to ports tree have been done.
And it's done. 
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/editors/openoffice-3-devel/
May take a while to make it stabilize, but I'll send blog entry hopefully soon!
thanks

Excellent. Some questions a reader might have:

0) What has been accomplished -- Lead paragraph give a good summary of
what you've done and why it is important.  Many readers get no further
than the first paragraph.  So anything really important, any "call to
action" should be in the first paragraphy.

Then other questions I think users might have:

1) What is BSD?  How many users/developers are there?

2) What version of OpenOffice do BSD users have today?

3) How long has OpenOffice been available on BSD?

4) Maybe some comments on the BSD license and the Apache license

5) How are you working with the Apache project? A fork? Working
directly with Apache?  How is this working?

6) What are some technical things you had to do to get the current
OpenOffice to work with BSD?  What did you learn that other BSD
porters for other applications might want to know about?

7) Do you want help with anything?

8) Where can the reader go for more information?

Hi Rob and Pedro,

Ok, I can provide blog entry as well as preliminary packages for 
FreeBSD (en version and ja version). 
Now I'm checking out the newest source...maybe packages will be available
on tomorrow.

thanks

Yes. I have to say that this is indeed a victory for the
Apache License: the MPL2 still keeps restrictions, but in
this process it got rid of many non-sense and has made
available a well balanced alternative to the traditional
(and ever more restricted) copyleft.

cheers,

Pedro.

Very nice, thanks.

Did you see the recent news also on the updated Mozilla license?  MPL2
now is fully compatible with ALv2:

https://mpl.mozilla.org/2012/01/03/announcing-mpl-2-0/

Things are looking good for working with Apache!

Well, Maho-san is the man for the port history.

Concerning the Apache license, we appreciate the extra
freedom but it doesn't really have a deep difference for
FreeBSD as a project. For us it's much more important the
fact that OO is now under the umbrella of the Apache
Foundation. FreeBSD and Apache work well together:

Pedro.

Congratulations!

Do you (or Pedro) want to draft a blog post on this?

It might be worth describing the history of the OOo BSD port, and what
your hopes for the future are.  Also, why you like the Apache license.
 If you can draft, I can help edit.

Thank you Maho!!

I knew we were getting really near but I wasn't sure we would
get it in time!

There are still some nice things to do but I will prefer to do
it in the ports tree .. so I will test and send you updates :).
