I'd like to test the newest version of OpenOffice which is 2.0rc1.

I have 1.1.4 installed currently.

When I do emerge --search openoffice it does not show a 2.0 version as
being available. Is this because I need to "unmask" something or because
nothing past 1.1.4 is available in the ports yet?


basically (yes unmask). You will have a week or so old beta in openoffice-bin that you can install but I doubt that the rc will be in there before mid to late next week (possibly it is actually the same version that they have bumped up to RC).

I'm a bit new to this portage system so I still seem to have problems
figuring out how to keep everything up to date plus sometimes access the
bleeding edge stuff.


/etc/portage/package.keywords is your friend
