I tried this shortly after 7.0 was released and the Java portion of
building OpenOffice-2 from ports wanted an old tzupdater that Sun no
longer provides. I have yet to update my ports tree so I don't know if
that has been corrected yet or not; if not, where does one get the
tzupdater 1.3.0_2007h (I think that's the version it asked for)?
