Many thanks for the possibility to test the 7.0.0.1 port before the
release is coming. Much appreciated!

I built the port with Poudriere on a 13.0-CURRENT box. It builts and
installs fine. As far as I can say after testing with some types of
files, the following works as expected:

- opening .odt, .docx, .xlsx
- saving the same formats
- opening encrypted files
- exporting to pdf

Using SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=kf5, rendering seems fine for me.

Could hardly await the final release of libreoffice and the port :)

Best wishes,
Rainer
