What do I have to do to get it working ?? :?

I have portage version 2.0.48-r5 installed and I have manually created /etc/portage/package.unmask like this

Code:
echo "app-office/openoffice" >> /etc/portage/package.unmask


But when it doesnt accept this so it seems, cuz portage still doesnt want to emerge the latest ebuild (using accept_keywords="~x86" too).

Ive read it should work on this version of portage so whats the problem ??

try out:

Code:

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" (big letters)


or...

edit make.conf and find ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="" and uncomment it.

your packages.mask is overwritten every time you emerge sync, so make sure you tryed before you emerge sync´ed.

The reason ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" does not work is because all versions of openoffice above 1.0.3 are marked -x86 (does not work). Whether thats true or not I don't know...

If you feel lucky and still want to install this fucker, the easiest thing to is to remove the maskings in /usr/portage/profile/package.mask (openoffice is masked in two places, comment them both out), then edit the openoffice-1.1_rc2.ebuild and change keyword from -x86 to x86.

Now you should be able to emerge it with 'emerge openoffice'.

Good luck.
