app-office/openoffice 2 needs CUPS to compil. It should be great if it could use other print system such as lprng. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have a gentoo without cups 2. emerge -DNauv openoffice 3. emerge wants to install cups Actual Results: [blocks B ] net-print/lprng (is blocking net-print/cups-1.1.23-r1) [ebuild N ] net-print/cups-1.1.23-r1 Expected Results: emerge should have compil OpenOffice 2 with the default print system (lprng in this case)
It would be nice. Print systems such as lprng do however not support printer features as much as cups can, so I understand why upstream uses CUPS. Cups support is however optional at runtime, so you might after the building of openoffice, re-install lprng and use openoffice with slightly degraded functionality. The bottom line though is that currently building without cups is not easy, and something for upstream to fix.
