BTW, why not use mdds and liborcus from ports? They are already present for libreoffice

The ports version is too new for the collabora tag in libreoffice core.

WIP. Most of the FreeBSD specific parts for the collabora online parts are in https://github.com/jsm222/online/commit/3d5fad0655f922928c398e64f11e2cbfa9a56546.diff
This uses the collabora tag of libreoffice, and jails instead user of simple chrooting. I have the /usr/local/share/collabora-office-online/instdir/program/ in the ldconfig path to allow the chmod +s binary to preload the libraries (IIUC). I did not put ldconfig parts into this patch. It is still early work, just posting here to share for now.

I think the proper way to port this software would be to approach upstream and merge our patches there, then wait for a new release.

Did something changed in that regard, or you just took sources from GitHub and wrapped them into a port?

for now the node-modules-cp-online-24.04.13-2.tar.gz is only at https://people.freebsd.org/~jsm/node-modules-cp-online-24.04.13-2.tar.gz (not copied to distfiles) the changes to the LibreOffice makefile is only the postinstall part. the broken API part is an old part ig...
