Hi Chris,
028_fix_x_naming: IZ#7194. Fix X naming. 'XWindows' should be
replaced by
the correct name: 'X11' or 'X Window'.
Issue 7194 does not seem to be related to XWindow vs X Window?
Is there another number we should be looking for here?
024_freetype_macros.diff: IZ#6630 - add support for the new freetype
internal macro names so that people building against a newer freetype
(see
system_freetype.diff) do not have to patch the source. Issue was
closed
and no response from the developer concering applying just the
#defines
fixes to the source for OOO_STABLE_1
I read this issue and was a bit confused at the end. Is the goal to
upgrade to freetype 2.1.3? ...
or ... just to get patches in so that OOO_STABLE_1 will build against
an external freetype (given other patches below)?
I assume you have tested your patch attached to the issue against
OOO_STABLE_1 and it does not hurt anything right?
If all your patch does is allow for building against an newer external
freetype and they do not break anything for users of freetyupe in the
OOO_STABLE_1 tree then I have no problems with these patches going into
OOO_STABLE_1 to help support the various linux distributions.
But Sander, or Martin, or Armin should make the final call on this one
since Herbert never responded to your last question (and he is the
module owner) but he did approve use of freetype 2.1.3 for 644.
Given the restrictions on the hinting in freetype as used by Sun, I am
in favor of adding config_office switch to allow building with an
external version of libfreetype FWIW.

Patches that need more work before being suitable for integration:
021_SAL_DEBUG: run OOo in gdb or strace if SAL_DEBUG is set. This needs
cleaning before submission.
023_user_fontpath.diff: Patch from Mandrake to pass the fontpath to
soffice
script. Not thought out well enough to submit yet.
028_help_fallback_en: A patch from Gwenole to look for help in the en
directory if it is not found in the native language. I would like to
extend
this to provide a new config vlaue, instead of using ooLocale, so that
the
help locale can be selected independently of the system locale.
904_libodbc_soname.diff: dlopen the versioned so name instead of
libodbc.so, which only exists in development packages,
906_get_gnome_menu_right: Supposed to place the OOo icons in the correct
places for GNOME2, but Jan says it doesn't work properly yet
-----
Patches that are unconditional and need to modified to be enabled via a
--with-x switch to config_office. See IZ#10477.
020_remove_gpc: Removal of non-free gpc library, needed for Debian
licensing.
903_system_freetype: use libfreetype in /usr/lib
905_remove_lzwc: Don't use patented .gif creation code
-----
I'll be comitting these updates to the Debian CVS shortly. I'm hoping
to
get the .debs in a good enough state to upload a prerelease to Debian
unstable to get some wider testing before the official release.
