The OpenOffice ebuild checks to make sure that /var/tmp/portage is big enough for the build and fails in the beginning. LibreOffice doesn't check and subsequently fails after a fairly long time when it hits the end of the fs. I prefer the former since I have a tmpfs mounted which is smaller than the required 6GiB and I usually forget to unmount it before building libre/openoffice. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Unmask libreoffice 3.3.0 2. Build it 3. Actual Results: Build failure some time during the build when my 2 GiB tmpfs /var/tmp/portage gets full. Expected Results: Failure in the beginning when it notices my tmpfs isn't big enough.
Really can't reproduce, both openoffice an libreoffice have the exactly same check for that in place, so maybe you just missed the check?
Just checked again, the size check works fine here, so: closing. Reopen if you have an actual log which shows the check isn't done.
The check is made according to my log, but the space is insufficient. It checks for 6144MB and failed with a full filesystem. After removing /var/tmp/portage/app-office/libreoffice-3.3.0 I had 6.6G free df /var/tmp Filesystem Type Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/raid5-vartmp ext2 9.9G 2.8G 6.6G 30% /var/tmp I'll run the emerge again with FEATURES="keepwork" to see just how much it uses (after enlarging /var/tmp of course).
After freeing up some space, the package built but used 7.4G of temp space. So the test is there but the value needs to be increased. This is on amd64 with USE="kde -gnome -gtk".
