All sounds good, except that libreoffice requires acres of space to

Is it any worse that OOo was?
Both took hours, but beyond that, I didn't pay much attention.
My build took about 3.3Gbs of drive space. I ran du just about 5
minutes before it finished so that is pretty close. I would say that
4Gbs should be enough at least on a setup like mine. You don't want to
push your luck to far. lol
and on at least two machines I'll have to move to binary.
A few days ago, it took me three tries on one of my machines to get
libreoffice to build. I think it ran out of disk space the first time,
though the error messages were rather misleading.
The second time I deleted some stuff from the distfiles dir about half
way through the build, and it turns out they were still needed later
in the build).
The third time, it worked. :)
On my machine, it took this:
root@fireball / # genlop -t libreoffice
* app-office/libreoffice
Thu Jul 28 12:33:11 2011 >>> app-office/libreoffice-3.3.1
merge time: 1 hour, 9 minutes and 33 seconds.
root@fireball / #
I did stop it with a ctrl Z for about 5 minutes. I was deleting stuff
to give it some more room. This is OOo:
Tue Jul 5 05:15:01 2011 >>> app-office/openoffice-3.2.1-r1
merge time: 50 minutes and 27 seconds.
That's about a average. Some were binary installs. I can't recall why
I did that now but it was since it only took a minute or so.
That's the report from this rig. AMD 4 cores running at 3.2Ghz with
16Gbs of ram. No tmpfs this time. That wouldn't be fair since I had to
stop it for a few minutes.
