Since wv is already in Fedora Extras, abiword probably ought to be built using *it* instead of using it's own static copy, %configure --with-sys-wv
Not sure there. The Abi dev process is currently tied very closely to wv's one (working on that to untangle it). Keeping this bug open for now.
*** Bug 177304 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
This will be done for abiword 2.6, where wv has been seperated completely from abiword. AbiWord 2.4 will keep using the shipped wv.
This bug hasn't been updated in a long time and targets FE devel. Could you please check that it still occurs with current FE devel and update accordingly ? Thanks.
confirmed devel/abiword still using internal copy of wv
We just release abi 2.5.0, which is a good way towards 2.6.0. Abi 2.6.0 will have this fixed.
This is fixed already by the inclusion of AbiWord 2.6.x in Fedora.
