Question about LibreOffice 7.0 (why not stable)

Hello,

Actually, wealways have LibreOffice 6.4 (not maintened upstream)
Why LibreOffice 7.0 or 7.1 not stable now ?

I search on bugtracker but i didn't see a critical bug about LO 7.0.

Do you have information ?
Maybe a compilation problem or dependancy not available now ?

In short, one major arch will be compromised and there was no urgent need for a stabilisation meanwhile.

We will not be stabilising 7.0 anymore, instead go with some 7.1 release (the first two releases weren't exactly great though).

@Adrien.D: you could add the lines below to /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords to get LibreOffice 7.0.5:
