Packages

Hello,

when i understand correctly so give it Gentoo Packages with can installed.
Where can find this packages? Because i has clean my Netbook now from Sabayon
and have installed Gentoo directly. But build Libreoffice need much time, so
where better to find a package? Is there a chance or must built from sources?

Thanks & Regards
Silvio

Hi Silvio,
I'm not sure I understand your question. Are you asking where you
can get a pre-built 'package'? I.e. - Gentoo builds from source code
but you don't want to build libreoffice from source so you want a
pre-built version?

If that's your question then the generic answer is that Gentoo does
not supply pre-built packages. That said there are a few packages that
are supplied prebuilt and libreoffice is one of them. emerge
libreoffice-bin.

If that's not the answer you are looking for then ask again.

HTH,
Mark

Yes thats was the question. Sorry for my english. Yes so i accept to build
all from source, but Libreoffice from source on a Atom need not hours, need
days.

Only hours, but quite a lot of them. About 16 IIRC.

I was surprised the other evening when updating my wife's machine that
her Intel i7 needed around an hour to get that thing built from
source. It drove the fan speed up enough that I could hear the machine
working to get the job done. Think I need to open the box and clean
the CPU fan as I now suspect it's clogged with dust...
