So you don't use the gentoo OOo ebuilds? AFAICT, they're a lot closer |
37 |
to being libreoffice than to being mainline OOo. |

If you use the gentoo ebuilds, then you mostly already have. |
42 |
|
43 |
Gentoo OOo = OOo + Go-Oo |
44 |
|
45 |
LibreOffice = OOo + Go-Oo |

But, what you get using the Gentoo ebuilds isn't the official OOo |
51 |
install. If you're running official OOo, then youre not using the |
52 |
Gentoo ebuilds, so why do you care what those ebuilds produce? |
53 |
|
54 |
One of the things I like about LibreOffice is the reduced |
55 |
dependancies. Even with the gnome USE flag turned off, OOo pulls in |
56 |
some big gnome dependancies that I don't want. WTF does an office |
57 |
suite need libgweather? |
