In portage tree openoffice source package receives intermediate updates with patches from upstream (see silent patchset bumps lines in ChangeLog) which fix many important problems like crashes. Openoffice-bin misses this fixes. So yes, it's better to build OO from sources having your hand on ChangeLog and rebuild it when update comes... Another alternative is to use updated binary snapshots from upstream, but I don't know where you can download them. -- Peter.
