I resurrected my old work to move it to 3.0.0 and now have my own
version of a GTK3 Abiword 3 package. I can't duplicate the problem
you're having saving documents with either the stock pkgsrc 2.8.6
package version or the 3.0 package I've produced. Can you be more
specific about what you're doing that causes a crash?

I really don't think it's beneficial to have a separate plugins
package anymore. It makes more sense to integrate the plugins as an
option within the base package (which is what I've done). As you've
found, even when "no plugins" is specified, it still builds the one
that handles ODT documents, so at a minimum the base package will
install that one, and it'd be confusing to have one plugin coming
from one package, and others from a separate one. (Not to mention
the presence of multiple make files seems to have introduced
other confusion, viz. the conflicting options concerning gnomevfs
support in the existing package between files.)

My version of the package needs a fair amount of tidying up. (For
instance, I've seen it successfully finds dependencies that aren't
actually specified in my make file, e.g. Abiword needs libgcrypt now
since it supports Blowfish-encrypted ODT files.) If you're abandoning
your efforts, I can take over as I have time.
