Currently, those are only available with openoffice-bin. I am using |
| 15 |
2.0.0rc1 right now. All you need to do is use the appropriate unmask in |
| 16 |
/etc/portage/package.unmask (you may need to create /etc/portage/ first: |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
>=app-office/openoffice-bin-1.9.93 |
| 19 |

You may also need to set its keywords to ~x86, by adding the following |
| 21 |
in /etc/portage/package.keywords (or was it keyword? it's in the portage |
| 22 |
man page). I don't need to, as I am ~x86 globally: |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
app-office/openoffice-bin ~x86 |
| 25 |

Tip: Create a binary package of your current openoffice or |
| 27 |
openoffice-bin before you merge, you can use that to quickly reinstall |
| 28 |
it if you have problems: |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
quickpkg openoffice openoffice-bin |
