I can't see why this wasn't done, so I'm opening a bug in case there was a valid reason. Recent boost update cried about libreoffice being broken, and it looks like every libreoffice ebuild except the stable one has boost:= please add := to the boost dep in libreoffice-4.0.4.2.ebuild Thanks
Simple, I don't alter stable ebuilds, if you want just do it yourself, but get the blame if something goes south :P
accepted. now we have one less package leaning on the crutch of preserve-libs
