 This entire thread has us both agreeing on the fact that the existing
 system doesn't work, and we both have little to offer in the way of
 working systems short of chaining committers to workstations feeding them
 bread and water and someone cracking a whip[1].

   Whatever did happen to modernizing the gnats database. I know some
   ideas of Keystone and Bugzilla were thrown around.. Where did that
   get canned?

   I myself think that Mozilla's Bugzilla organization (not necessarily
   the software) works great. A lot of cateogories with a default
   assignee, actual followups being made, scheduled release milestones,
   etc. Theres a few guys reviewing how important stuff is, and all
   around, a lot of responsibility. I need not mention the evil PDT
   crew :) If it means anything, a lot of people are moving to this
   system.. @home, RedHat, LokiGames, etc.. so there is at least some
   support.

   I myself have pretty extensive experience with Keystone, and a bit
   with Bugzilla. While I feel Bugzilla is more tuned for this then
   Keystone, I'd like to see *SOMETHING* done.

   I myself would happily volunteer to help get something setup in this
   regard... just tell me who or what to strangle. GNATS is fine and all,
   I just think something else is needed with the kind of scale we're
   looking at now. I'll even hack at the command-line tools if need be.

   I just think this should be more important to us then we give it
   credit. If this should go in another list, feel free to prod me.

Updating staroffice5 port for 4.1-RELEASE?

[Thomas R. Stromberg]

Does someone plan on upgrading the StarOffice port to 5.2 before the
4.1-RELEASE? I think with all of the hype surrounding SO52 it might be a
good idea to put it in ports, even if it installs pretty cleanly without
it.

I plan to do a desktop rollout of 4.1, and Im sure the users would
appreciate having the new one there, especially with its compatibility
improvements. The attraction of being able to use Office 2000 docs in
FreeBSD is a great one.

Just a thought.. Im sure someone is hiding a patchset  Makefile :)
