[Sebastian Bergmann]

  Any chance of getting a binary ebuild for openoffice-ximian?

  Thanks,
Sebastian

Try a visit to www.breakmygentoo.net (or maybe .org)

They have a variety of ebuilds there that for one reason or another may
not end up in portage.

  I already tried the binary ebuild but it would not install.

I stand corrected, looks like it is already in portage:

That is a from-source ebuild. I have no idea where and if binary builds 
are offered. Although if there is a big demant I could create them 
myself, but only -without waranty- as I really don't have time to fix 
bugs with a binary version of openoffice-ximian.

As I have been providing the openoffice-ximian ebuilds to the forums
quite some time before they went into portage, I think I can say there
is quite some interest. But I agree it could be difficult... I still
think it would be a great idea for the people with <1 GHZ Processors, so
if you really do it, one generic i586 build should be sufficient

I've been using Suka's ebuild of openoffice-ximian for a while now;
there were some warts (I think in OO, not OO-x) in the release
candidates, but openoffice-ximian-1.1.0 is AWESOME.

On my system the binary .tbz2 came in at 73.5 MB - not the kind of thing
that can be casually made available on anything other than a high
bandwidth mirror. I agree with Paul that given the nightmare dependency
graph behind this thing, providing binaries is a limited-value
proposition because of the likelihood of a dependency mismatch - but
nevertheless, if we can find a way to help people with slower machines,
all to the good.

WARNING!

For anyone considering trying building this thing, they really aren't
kidding when they say it needs > 4.5 GigaBytes 
to build and 12-14 hours to build and packages. It's a real bummer to
run out of space somewhere around the install/buildpackage/merge step.
This is an excellent time to use

 	PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/partition/with/lots/of/space/tmp"

on the command line before emerge...

Also, if you're not using the buildpkg feature by default, then do
yourself a favour and use the -b argument to emerge so that if you need
to re-emerge it later "to fix some little thing" you don't have to sit
through that build again.

Thanks again to suka...

P.S. Paul, is what's in portage now based on Suka's work? If not, what,
if any, significant differences are there about the ebuild?

It is basically based on suka's work. I've added added some improvements from 
the vanilla openoffice ebuild, but it is basically suka's work.

I had the problem of running out of space and the OO build failing because 
of it.  I have since freed up enough space to complete the install, but I 
was curious about something else.

In the event that the OO build fails, can the keepwork feature be used to 
essentially start the build again where it left off.

I know that make will check the modified time on files to determine if 
object files and such should be recompiled, but does qmake or whatever OO 
is using to do the build do the same?  Or, are key files modified that 
force the recompile of all object files?

I don't know about the keepwork feature, but running ebuild <path to ebuild> 
compile does work similar to normal make, so it saves a lot of time.
