I hope we may get an ebuild for libreoffix-7.4 soon. Reason: MS allows more columns in calc tables now. In colaboration with MS Office users libreoffice-7.3 now always complains about too many columns (even if empty but you never know...). libreoffice-7.4 can handle the extra columns.
Thanks for assigning the task to the group, but just wonder how long have we to wait for this new version of libreoffice?

Until someone has time to look at it. We prioritise handling bumps for the stable branches until we get time. Help is welcome in the form of reviewing the changes between 7.3 and 7.4 and providing a patch to the ebuilds. Diffing the build system is required.
Created attachment 826259 [details] libreoffice-7.4.2.3.ebuild
I too was waiting eagerly for the official release of Libreoffice 7.4 and its associated portage package. That release contains some code that I contributed a few months ago :) I created an ebuild based on information in various libreoffice-9999 bug reports submitted by Gentoo user jospezial. While the ebuild "works" to install 7.4, it should be considered a hack and eventually replaced by one produced by the more rigorous methodology described by Sam James. Producing a corresponding ebuild for libreoffice-l10n did not go smoothly, since a number of language packs are missing. You will either need to hack one with a very limited list in LANGUAGES_HELP= or add PDEPEND="!app-office/libreoffice-l10n" in attached ebuild to get english-only 7.4 help.
