Description Attila Stehr 2009-09-08 16:08:41 UTC
On windows I can select only to install calc and writer.

There should be a way not to clutter up my system with components which are not used - like e.g. oobase and ooimpress!
Being able to do it is a major feature, so I'd appreciate to keep the severity on that level.

Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
something like:
USE="calc writer -base -impress" emerge -v openoffice

This sounds hard... Patches accepted, I'm sure...
(Openoffice has a build system that barely qualifies for the name)
Comment 2 Andreas Proschofsky (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-11-28 21:42:49 UTC
this really is neither as easy nor as useful as it might sound, 90+ percent of OOo are shared code, so there is no big win by removing components. Also it is faaaaar from trivial.

So if someone wants to have it: Patches accepted. Reopen if you have something working.
