[HEADS UP] about ooodict and related ports

[NAKATA Maho]

Dear list,

Although personally I'm not very much involved for ooodict port and related port,
many people regard me as the maintainer of these ports. And these ports are problematic
in several ways:

1. sooooooo many localized ports. this situation apparently increase the maintainace cost
2. somehow distfiles are subjected to frequent changes, so they are always broken
3. I prefer ooodict to ooodict-all. and install en-US dictionaries for default. PORTNAME
   is already ooodict :)

I decided to remove all localized ports, and intorudce (hopefully better) maintainance
method to our ports tree, just what I have done to remove localized ports of OOo; namely
all necessary infomations will be stored master ports, and if someone wants localized
version of it, just activate via command line option like
make install LOCALIZED_LANG=abc_def

Roadmap:
0. A proposal. let people know what I will do.
1. All localized infomation will be stored in editors/ooodict-all/files/Makefile.localized
   like editors/openoffice.org-*/ . so that we can still use localized ports for example,
   for editors/ooodict-bg_BG, we can install by both commands:
   cd /usr/ports/editors/ooodict-bg_BG ; make install
   and/or
   cd /usr/ports/editors/ooodict-all ; make LOCALIZED_LANG=bg_BG
   They will give the same result, without changing Makefile of
   /usr/ports/editors/ooodict-bg_BG etc.
2. remove all infomations from localized ports and confirm still we can use them.
   so /usr/ports/editors/ooodict-bg_BG/Makefile might only contain
   LOCALIZED_LANG=bg-BG
   MASTERDIR=					${.CURDIR}/../ooodict-all
   .include "${MASTERDIR}/Makefile"
   or something like that.
3. Remove all localized ports in ports tree.
4. repocopy request:
   editors/ooodict-all -> editors/ooodict

Current:
we are at 0.
Any comments?
