Description Patrick Lauer gentoo-dev 2012-02-16 08:14:40 UTC
>>> Running pre-merge checks for app-office/libreoffice-3.5.0.3
 * Checking for at least 512 mebibytes RAM ...                                                                                                                                                                                        [ ok ]
 * Checking for at least 6 gibibytes disk space at "/mnt/sdb1/build/portage/app-office/libreoffice-3.5.0.3/temp" ...    


It's checking for 6 Gigabytes of disk space, so it'd make sense to not write maybebytes or gigglibytes and use units that make sense ...
