Today I felt daring and thought of installing openoffice from source. After a few iterations of putting necessary unstable packages in /etc/portage/package.keywords I end up with: paolo@biocomm ~ $ emerge -otpv openoffice These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order: Calculating dependencies... done!

It's supposed to be compiled once with version 2.3-r2 as a (runtime, I think) dependancy for dev-java/bsf and then with version 2.4-r2 as a (runtime again, AFAIK) dependancy for dev-java/bsh. The problem is that both programs depend on their exact version (2.3 for bsf and 2.4 for bsh), but both cannot be installed at the same time. I don't feel daring enough to try to go on with the emerge, and I defer to you developers to tell me if this is all right or to come up with a solution.

I wonder why you cant emerge both versions... as I can...
(In reply to comment #0) > (and it's not a slot'ed package). Oh, maybe you should check again more carefully.
I stand corrected: I just thought that slot'ed packages showed up as such even when merged for the first time. Sorry for the noise. :-(
