|
|
I didnt know where to ask this since the forums have been mangled. no Gentoo suggestions. So I will put it in a place that has alot of traffic.
Is it possible to make a binary package from a ebuild?
then have portage install it?
it would be nice for openoffice. considering the openoffice-bin binaries are so broken and dont use freetype or AA fonts.
Someone could compile openoffice with basic gcc optimizations for i686 and use portage to make the binary package and then they could post it somewhere so we can start using openoffice 1.0.1 |

I bet the binaries would take as much space as one stage3 -tarball on the mirrors :I
that 'someone' would need to have a lot of space available on the internet and a lot of bandwidth to waste _________________ --kirill |

Anyone that has an opinion on this subject, please read All binary Gentoo. This subject has come up many times, and has yet to generate more light than heat in any of the discussions that I have read.
Moving to Gentoo Chat and locking for posterity. dcstimm, we would love to hear your ideas (or anybody else's, for that matter) about how the forums could be organized better over in the feedback forum. Pretty much all of the posts in the previous Gentoo Suggestions forum have been rolled into Gentoo Chat. I'm unable to divine a constructive suggestion out of the "mangled" comment, but I'll take it as a general vote of "bad" on the recent reorganization. _________________ For every higher wall, there is a taller ladder |
