Description Patrizio Bassi 2005-08-22 14:41:30 UTC 
according to gentoo kde idea, emerge what is really needed only,  
i think it may be very usefull an openoffice package split.  
  
i think that koffice can be a good example:  
one meta package, one common data and one package for each application.  
  
in openoffice this is be very very important, since compiling from sources lasts many many hours  
(days on mi pentium3!!!!!).  
  
Splitting ebuild will make compilation from source possible, without having 2 days full time  
compilation.  
  
i think this should be very important for upcoming 2.0 stable release.  
  
Of course some configure hack is needed.  
 
i'm ready to test

This is really non-trivial, if you have a patch for such a thing, I'll take a
look, until then I'm closing this.

Btw: "Splitting ebuild will make compilation from source possible, without
having 2 days full time compilation."

That's plainly wrong, most of the components in OOo are common, so disabling
certain parts won't make too much of a difference for the building time
Comment 2 Patrizio Bassi 2005-08-23 00:15:21 UTC 
actually i have no patch. 
 
there must be a human-noticeable difference disabling all GUI things, and compile a 
single common package. 
 
i know the patch won't be simple nor trivial, but i think that it will be very good for 
gentoo users, in order not to use -bin package

shit. I just wanted to up the default iteration limit in oo calc for a self referencing forumla. It won't go beyond 1000 (undocumented feature!).

Bad idea, not only will it take me 2 days to find it (optimistically) it will take two days to see if it compiles. 

I'm wondering if this qualifies as open-source. OSS is not just read only source it's supposed to be buildable. Looks like I need to buy a mainframe just to do a trivial tweek. :(

It's probably unintentional , but this looks like a pretty effective way making sure no-one alters you "open-source" .
