It finally happened: openoffice is expected to compile and work natively on amd64. In fact, I have just removed the package.mask entry. Versions starting from 2.0.4 should work and are therefore marked testing on amd64 (i.e. there still might be problems - please file bugs if you find any). That also means that you no longer need to run a multilib profile just because you need openoffice.
I had seen it this morning, and I though "What?!" :) Which are the real advantages in compiling OOo instead of using -bin? Except the multilib thing? I've heard of aging compilation times... :) thanks maxxer -- gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list
