Anyone interested in helping with linux-wps-office ?

[Pedro Giffuni]

Hi;

I recently got asked about WPS Office, a really nice office suite that
works on the linuxulator:

    http://linux.wps.com/

People tend to prefer it over LibreOffice due to its excellent
compatibility with the newer formats.

So, I updated a basic port for it here:

https://people.freebsd.org/~pfg/ports/linux-wps-office.tgz

The above passes portlint but I really don't know well how linuxulator
ports should work. Open questions:

- Does the RPM stuff figure out the right PREFIX? In order words, is the
path OK?

- Do I have to add a softlink so the program can be executed?

- What to do about desktop icons.

- I still have to figure out what to do about fonts, if anything.

I would be grateful if someone would play with it, provide feedback, or
even take over as maintainer.

Cheers,

Pedro.

I'd like to know more about those ports as well.

As fair as I understand the documentation, everything should be
installed in the default PREFIX (usually /usr/local). At least, that's
what I did recently for the biology/linux-foldingathome port, which
works nicely with our Linux compatibility layer. Only infrastructure
packages (such as libraries) should be installed under /compat/linux.

It would be great, however, to learn more from people who worked more
with ports utilizing Linuxulator.
