Bugzilla Automation <bugzilla at FreeBSD.org> has asked freebsd-office mailing
list <office at FreeBSD.org> for maintainer-feedback:
Bug 228030: editors/openoffice-4 installs .desktop files in a manner KDE5
cannot handle
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=228030



--- Description ---
The existing port symlinks   /usr/local/share/applications/openoffice-4.1.5 to
../../openoffice-4.1.5/openoffice4/share/xdg . This does not work for Plasma 5
desktop since it has been changed to ignore symlinks.

See https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/129733/ for details.
The port should be changed to copy .desktop file lo sub-directory within
/usr/local/share/applications/ instead to avoid this kind of issues in the
future, IMHO.
