As I said privately, no opposition from me - it sounds wonderful. > - The code is LGPLv2.1-only, not LGPL3 Really not ideal, but bearable for now I suppose. It'd be great if (as new bits of code are written) if we have the git history for that so we can get ownership right, and progressively cleanse the code to MPL/LGPLv3+ in future - but not a blocker I think. > - Currently developed as a "fork" of libreoffice-3-4 which adds > directory connectivity/source/drivers/postgresql sounds lovely. > - The build system currently "just" creates a .oxt file; should > probably be changed to take into account > "--with-extension-integration"; would appreciate help/clue in how > to do that / what needs to be done. Personally I've never understood why we package built-in extensions as .oxt files ;-) but if it works why not. I'd suggest just checking it in and asking for some autotools guru to help out with making it more conditional - no doubt they will. > In the absence of opposition, I intend to forward-port and commit next > week, to give some time to shake out any potential problem before 5 > December. Beautiful; it sounds lovely, Thanks for that !
