Hello!

LibreOffice 7.0 branch is over to release candadate and office at FreeBSD team calls everyone interested to join us in testing cycle

Our WIP repository available at GitHub, https://github.com/lwhsu/freebsd-ports-libreoffice, branch 7.0.0

Of course, we support ports’ OVERLAY feature by adding:

OVERLAYS+=/path/to/freebsd-ports-libreoffice

to /etc/make.conf

Poudriere users should follows next steps:

sudo poudriere ports -c -F -p portoverlay
cd ${LOCALBASE}/poudriere/ports/portsoverlay
git clone https://github.com/lwhsu/freebsd-ports-libreoffice .
git checkout 7.0.0
poudriere bulk -j 121amd64 -p portstree -O portsoverlay editors/libreoffice

Or you can use pre-built packages with default options.
Take yours from https://people.freebsd.org/~lwhsu/libreoffice/

You can start the LibreOffice with x11 UI backend by setting
environment variable:

SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen

where ‘gen’ can be replaced by x11, gtk3, qt5 ,kf5, depends on selected build options to get a required vcl active

Current known issue is missed vertical and gorizontal scrollbars with gkt3 vcl.
Qt5 vcl is already locked to use cairo font renderer.

Patches and suggestions are welcome!
