Bugzilla Bug 95128

Hi, a release candidate for koffice-1.4 is in portage (in package.mask) and the
final version will be out soon.

I'm just letting you know that the keywords for amd64, ppc, ppc64, sparc, alpha
were dropped, because this release introduces two brand new applications (kexi
for database management, krita as a Gimp replacement).
So you may be interested in giving kexi and krita a try, and rekeyword koffice.

Note that it comes in two flavors: the single package (app-office/koffice) that
includes everything, and the splitted packages: app-office/koffice-meta and its
dependencies (koffice-meta was marked ~ppc and ~amd64).

There's also another version of kexi in portage (dev-db/kexi). Don't be
confused by it, it's the one that was developed before kexi was integrated in
koffice and is very old, so it can be ignored.

Looks good on amd64, added ~amd64. krita looks really good too.

kexi looks good on sparc, however everything in krita shows up in shades of
blue.  Not really sure what the issue is there.  Will try testing on another
system to see if that changes anything.

koffice-1.4.0_rc1 doesn't seem to build krita but builds on ppc (and kexi seems
to work fine at least with the storage backend)

(In reply to comment #3)

It may happen if ./configure does not detect lcms or imagemagick for some 
reason... maybe config.log can give some hint. 
 
Thanks for testing. 

added ~ppc64 

Just to clarify.  The first post says "...krita as a Gimp replacement"  This is
not correct.  Krita is a paint program and as such has many features that The
GIMP does not and also The GIMP has many features that krita does not.  Krita is
not intended for general imaging work and is not well suited for doing
photographic work for example where as The GIMP is very good for photographic work.

added ~alpha to both flavors.

Works fine in alpha but i had some problems when trying to compile using distcc.

The problem is only present in koffice-libs when someone uses meta-packages.
Also appears in the single package (with versions 1.4.0-rc1 and 1.4.0).

Is a known issue?
Feel free to contact me if you need some more testing.

I had no problems building krita on ppc, I've marked both koffice and
koffice-meta ~ppc.

Yoswink, you neglected to keyword kword ~alpha, so there's a missing dep.

Thanks Joe and i'm sorry about forgot to mark ~alpha in kword ebuild.
It was solved several hours ago and now works fine.
/me stabs himself

Btw, my problems with distcc could be originated by some hard disk failures, so
if nobody else is complaining, please forgot it :(

I haven't got a good day ... 

Monolithic and split packages keyworded.

This can be closed now.
