OpenOffice and emerge world

I have installed OpenOffice in another language (spanish). And would like to know if i will be able to update this package in the future by emerging world.

Another thing (a little ooftopic?), i was looking the way to install packages trhough portage but in spanish. Is some way to do it? (for example like OO)

Thanks

PD: the installation time was like 3 or 4 minutes, but if i emerge openoffice it takes more than 2 or 3 hours. Why is that? thnx again

The time factor is related to wether you use the source emerge or the binary emerge, the minutes one is based off the binary install, the other from source. If you want to use the spanish package then my advice would be to use the spanish binary and use it when issuing

Yeah, but you are using the binary version so it would rarely ever take a long time to update, and OO releases are few and far between at this stage so I dont think you would need to worry that often.

Besides, reading the list from emerge -up world would tell you when an update is going to happen, then you will need to take the appropriate actions again.

well, thanks!

Resume:

Rename the tar.gz file to the english.
# emerge app-office/openoffice-bin
and be careful with the emerge world

That's it, rith?

Thanks a lot!!
