Issues with openoffice

Hi All,

I just did a install of pkgng on a FreeBSD 9.2 laptop.
Then ran # pkg2ng and added to /etc/make.conf.

However when I tried any of the following I got this.
Code:
root@Shibari:/root # pkg install apache-openoffice
Updating repository catalogue
root@Shibari:/root # pkg install openoffice
Updating repository catalogue
root@Shibari:/root # pkg install openoffice-4
Updating repository catalogue
root@Shibari:/root #

So what gives? Do I have the wrong package name?

Sincerely,

Brendhan
 
Re: pkg install openoffice not working

It's missing from both the i386 and the amd64 repositories.
There seems to be some problems building the port.

Unless you desperately need OpenOffice, I suggest you try # pkg install libreoffice instead.
 
Re: pkg install openoffice not working

The problem I have is libreoffice is unstable for me. If I scroll down the page it becomes unreadable.

Sincerely,

Brendhan
 
Re: pkg install openoffice not working

It looks like the problem with the build process has been fixed today for FreeBSD 10. I don't know if that fixes it for all versions though. Either try to build it yourself or check the package repository in a few days to see if it's available.
 
Re: pkg install openoffice not working

Not looking good yet.

Code:
root@Shibari:/root # pkg install openoffice
Updating repository catalogue
root@Shibari:/root # pkg install apache-openoffice
Updating repository catalogue
root@Shibari:/root # pkg install openoffice-4
Updating repository catalogue
root@Shibari:/root #
 
Re: pkg install openoffice not working

I have similar problem:
Code:
63:SU:anders2:ports> pkg install openoffice-4
Updating repository catalogue
pkg: No packages matching 'openoffice-4' available in the repositories
64:SU:anders2:ports> pkg install openoffice-3
Updating repository catalogue
pkg: No packages matching 'openoffice-3' available in the repositories
65:SU:anders2:ports> pkg install apache-openoffice-4.0.1
Updating repository catalogue
pkg: No packages matching 'apache-openoffice-4.0.1' available in the repositories
etc. etc.

But worse still is when I try
Code:
cd /usr/ports/editors/openoffice-4
make config-recursive && make install clean
In the end I always get:
Code:
=> ApacheOpenOffice.ext_sources.4.0.1.r1524958.tar.bz2 doesn't seem to exist in /usr/ports/distfiles/openoffice.

I have tried this with 10.0-RC5, with same but updated to 10.0-RELEASE, finally with a fresh install of 10.0-RELEASE (it arrived during my trials with RC5). Always same error.

There is another file
  • apache-openoffice-4.0.1-r1524958-src.tar.bz2
which is found and downloaded ok.
As you see it has the same r15..... number. Is there an error in the distinfo file?
 
editors/openoffice-3 & 4 might need tweaking to install

I am having problems installing editors/openoffice-4 on a FreeBSD 10 system. The problem occurs after the package or source has been downloaded. With portmaster editors/openoffice-4 the message says that apache-openoffice-4.0.1-r1524958-src.tar.bz2 does not seem to exist in /usr/ports/distfiles//openoffice. The directory path has a double forward slashes, //, but it does not seem to make a difference whether there is one slash or two.

Code:
http://www.apache.org/dist/openoffice/${PORTVERSION}/source/
ftp://ftp.riken.jp/net/apache/openoffice/${PORTVERSION}/source/
=> Attempting to fetch http://www.apache.org/dist/openoffice/4.0.1/source/apache-openoffice-4.0.1-r1524958-src.tar.bz2
apache-openoffice-4.0.1-r1524958-src.tar.bz2

=> apache-openoffice-4.0.1-r1524958-src.tar.bz2 doesn't seem to exist in /usr/ports/distfiles//openoffice.

apache-openoffice-4.0.1-r1524958-src.tar.bz2

The source/dist file is: apache-openoffice-4.0.1-r1524958-src.tar.bz2 I have verified this at Apache.org. It does not appear to be in my default repositories, e.g., ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/openoffice/. The file indicated in the Makefile accompanying the current editors/openoffice-4 is available at http://www.apache.org/dist/openoffice/4.0.1/source/apache-openoffice-4.0.1-r1524958-src.tar.bz2.

Even if the source files are manually downloaded and placed in the distfiles/openoffice directory, portmaster does not find them.

Code:
$ ls /usr/ports/distfiles/openoffice
apache-openoffice-4.0.1-r1524958-src.tar.bz2
apache-openoffice-4.0.1-r1524958-src.tar.bz2.asc
apache-openoffice-4.0.1-r1524958-src.tar.bz2.md5
apache-openoffice-4.0.1-r1524958-src.tar.bz2.sha256

licensing related issue?

When attempting portmaster editors/openoffice-3 I get an error message that the license is not correctly defined. Is there some kind of licensing check that needs to occur before openoffice can build or install?

Code:
===>  Cleaning for apache-openoffice3-3.4.1_2
===>  License not correctly defined: for unknown licenses, defining LICENSE_PERMS is mandatory (otherwise use a known LICENSE)
make[1]: exec(exit) failed (No such file or directory)
