This is a port of the Calligra Suite project, the recently release version
2.9.0 .
https://www.calligra.org/
It is the successor to KOffice (KDE Office) and provides an alternative to
the monolithic "bureautics" suites like OpenOffice and LibreOffice. I
personally find it comparable, interface-wise, to Apple iWork 09 . It also
provides a PhotoShop alternative (Krita), an Adobe Illustrator/Inkscape
alternative (Karbon), a database application loosely inspired by Filemaker
(Kexi) and a few other goodies like Braindump.
The applications install into /Applications/MacPorts/KDE4/Calligra-Suite .
I have provided several variants to control the components that get
installed. +office will install the OS X product set provided by the
Calligra team, which basically provides the usual wordprocessing,
spreadsheet, presentation etc. components. `+all` builds the full suite,
while the main port only installs the creative components (Krita, Karbon),
the database app (Kexi) and Braindump. Those are the components I think
have the least open source alternatives that run natively on OS X.
The default variant (main port) was chosen for 2 reasons: 1) install
footprint and 2) an issue that currently exists affects Karbon and
CalligraFlow which each launch like the other (i.e. launching Karbon gives
CalligraFlow and vice versa).
Caveat emptor: this port depends on a considerable number of ports of
which I'm not sure they're already committed or even submitted here. Don't
hesitate to inform me which ones do not have a trac ticket yet.
