I want to try out openoffice 2.0, but I still want 1.x around just in
case (I use it quite regularly).
Can I "slot" 2.0? Is it as simple as the handbook says (ie, just add
the SLOT variable to the ebuild) provided of course I use the portage
overlay...
Or is it more complicated, ie overwriting each others files, etc.?
any help would be appreciated! thanks,
Looking through the files that openoffice-bin-2.0.0_rc3 installs, the
majority of the files are installed to /usr/lib/openoffice/. IIRC, the
1.x series uses /opt, so that should be ok. Everything else (icons,
.desktop files, files in /usr/bin, etc) have the version in the file
name, so you will not have a conflict with those.
However, I can also tell you that I have been using the beta & RC builds
for most of this year, and have not seen anything that would make me
want to go back to 1.x!
And as Joachim said, quickpkg may be the better option.
