[gentoo-user] Newest version of OpenOffice (2.0rc1) in portage?
I'd like to test the newest version of OpenOffice which is 2.0rc1. I have 1.1.4 installed currently. When I do emerge --search openoffice it does not show a 2.0 version as being available. Is this because I need to unmask something or because nothing past 1.1.4 is available in the ports yet? I'm a bit new to this portage system so I still seem to have problems figuring out how to keep everything up to date plus sometimes access the bleeding edge stuff. -- John Lange -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Currently, those are only available with openoffice-bin. I am using 2.0.0rc1 right now. All you need to do is use the appropriate unmask in /etc/portage/package.unmask (you may need to create /etc/portage/ first: =app-office/openoffice-bin-1.9.93 You may also need to set its keywords to ~x86, by adding the following in /etc/portage/package.keywords (or was it keyword? it's in the portage man page). I don't need to, as I am ~x86 globally: app-office/openoffice-bin ~x86 Tip: Create a binary package of your current openoffice or openoffice-bin before you merge, you can use that to quickly reinstall it if you have problems: quickpkg openoffice openoffice-bin -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

When I do emerge --search openoffice it does not show a 2.0 version as being available. Is this because I need to unmask something or because nothing past 1.1.4 is available in the ports yet? cornholio configures # eix openoffice * app-office/openoffice-bin Available versions: 1.1.1 1.1.4-r1 1.1.5 [M]2.0.0_rc1 Installed: none Homepage:http://www.openoffice.org/ Description: OpenOffice productivity suite Clearly it is out there, but it is hard-masked, which is a fairly good indication that you shouldn't play around with it just yet. Source-based distro does not appear to be available, but you can check the bugs database to see if an ebuild has been submitted. Also look to the gentoo wiki for alternate ebuild sources, there may be one floating around out there somewhere. attachment: winmail.dat

You will have a week or so old beta in openoffice-bin that you can install but I doubt that the rc will be in there before mid to late next week (possibly it is actually the same version that they have bumped up to RC).

I've been using the OOo 2.0 betas for months now, without any problems. It's hard masked because it is a beta (well. RC now). -- Neil Bothwick Eat shit - 50 million flies can't be wrong pgp9QhDIgnLOK.pgp Description: PGP signature
