History

'openexr' FTBS with libremakepkg - it is apparently trying to run an internal network service in order to convert the documentation .odt files to .pdf

+  # Failed to connect to /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin (pid=1443) in 60 seconds.
+  # |  Connector : couldn't connect to socket (Success)
+  # |  Error: Unable to connect or start own listener. Aborting.

the upstream makefiles install the .pdf files, which are present in the source-ball - there are also .odt files present in the source-ball, which are presumably the sources for the PDFs; but the makefiles do not install those - the previous solution was to delete the PDFs. and re-generate them - i dont see any reason to convert the .odt files to .pdf though; other than to satisfy the makefiles - the existing .odt file are viewable with libreoffice; and AFAICT they do not embed any fonts - going on the assumption that the ODT files satisfy the FSDG already, the simplest solution to this freedom bug is to simply install the .odt files instead - i added a patch to abslibre which accomplishes that

openexr v3 no longer ships the offending PDF files - in fact, the package does not install any documentation now - as that was the only librefication, i have removed 'openexr' from the blacklist and from abslibre
