Bug 359883 – Please keyword app-office/libreoffice

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Andreas Proschofsky (RETIRED) 2011-03-22 08:03:58 UTC]

We'd like to move away from app-office/openoffice, see

https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=359861#c6

for the reasoning. Both sparc and ppc atm have not yet keyworded libreoffice, but for a complete move we'd need that.

Please also note that the current stable app-office/openoffice has a bunch of known security problems (bug #352864), so we'd really like to move on here

Reproducible: Always

If libreoffice tests OK on SPARC, we will also need to keyword and unmask the following packages:

media-libs/raptor-1.4.20
dev-libs/rasqal-0.9.17
dev-libs/redland-1.0.10-r1

I just found a problem with building libreoffice. The build process only calls g++ instead of the full i686-pc-unknown-linux-g++ compiler name, which can cause big problems with distcc on servers that are hosted on different architectures. 

Right now my compile farm's effectiveness has been cut by a good 33% because of this problem.

I take that back, have just discovered that somehow distcc lost its wrapper script on the pc... sorry!

Libreoffice bulds OK on my x86 laptop and using the suite of programs seem to work fine, can stabilise for x86. Please remember to mask OpenOffice when marking LibreOffice as stable.

wrong bug, stabilization for x86 is handled in bug #358907

Libreoffice 3.3.1 builds OK on SPARC, please keyword it and the other three packages it also needs, so others can test it as unstable. I'm about to start 3.3.2 build now.

[Comment 7 Alex Buell 2011-03-26 23:07:38 UTC]

Good news, libreoffice 3.3.2 also builds just fine. Please consider keywording this application for this revision.

[Comment 8 Joe Jezak (RETIRED) 2011-04-07 21:03:30 UTC]

Marked ~ppc.

[Comment 9 Raúl Porcel (RETIRED) 2011-04-25 14:27:09 UTC]

Please go ahead dropping sparc keyword, i don't have the time to test it or its dependencies atm and i don't want to block the move.
