I'm trying to fix http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=86443
which is the forward of http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=430599 No one upstream is doing anything and the bug goes on and on (it's in 3.0.1 still); if I needed to rely on accessibility I'd be annoyed by this bug. I'm using the sid version of openoffice.org I've made what I think is a fix to stop the crash in build/svtools/source/contnr/fileview.cxx I am doing this to build export DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS='debug ccache lang=en-US' debuild -us -b -uc -nc I have successfully built the source with those two lines (before my code modification), which is very encouraging. I hope what I do will build a modified set of packages as quickly as possible. If there are some tips, that would be great because my scenario is probably typical for minor "hit and run" fixes. I don't even want to think about getting the upstream OOO to build, that's a learning curve way too far.
