Bug 596910 – app-office/libreoffice-5.1.4.2 keyword request

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description ernsteiswuerfel 2016-10-11 21:43:03 UTC]

Please keyword app-office/libreoffice-5.1.4.2 for ~ppc. Succesfully built and tested it on my PowerMac G5 (64bit kernel, 32bit userland).

There are quite some dependencies pulled in which also need ~ppc keywording but I think it is worth the effort as there are no compareable office suits for ppc/ppc64 arch.

Emerged with following options:
[ebuild   R   *] app-office/libreoffice-5.1.4.2::gentoo  USE="bluetooth cups dbus gstreamer gtk jemalloc (-aqua) -branding -coinmp -collada -debug -eds (-firebird) -gltf -gnome -google -gtk3 (-java) -kde -libressl -mysql -odk -postgres -quickstarter (-telepathy) {-test} -vlc" LIBREOFFICE_EXTENSIONS="-nlpsolver -scripting-beanshell -scripting-javascript -wiki-publisher" PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python3_4 -python2_7 -python3_5" PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7 python3_4 -python3_5"

Need to be ~ppc keyworded as well:

We just dropped the keywords here not so long ago (in agreement with the ppc team), since the burden on the ppc team was too high and delays were growing. 

Please consider becoming arch tester for ppc or even developer and helping out yourself. The more people help with an arch, the bigger the chance of a growing package set is.

Reasonable line of argumentation. I will seriously consider this. Have to get more information about arch testing first and check if the G5 is fast enough for this kind of work.

You may want to pop into #gentoo-powerpc on freenode and talk to people there. Also the team page https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:PowerPC lists the current project members. Good luck!
