Probably just a way for the maintainers to test before releasing it to |
11 |
users. Libreoffice is huge and requires a lot of cooperation from other |
12 |
areas. An entry in package.mask is another (more common) way to add |
13 |
something to the tree while still marking it as "not ready yet." |

Those are just slot names. Like EAPIs, slot names are typically |
28 |
integers, but pretty much anything is technically legal. |
