Well not by its intentions and goals as the situation is still not perfect in cooperation between these nice projects but as applications on our beloved Gentoo. Today I wasted bit of my time to write wrappers in openoffice-bin package and it can be installed next to libreoffice or libreoffice-bin…. Continue reading
Gentoo dictionaries are slowly making me loose it… I got to 31 transfered myspell dictionaries which use upstream versioning scheme and have proper homepages. It still leaves behind 15 of those I didn’t find out anywhere or didn’t sort out the complexity of availale resources (eg 3 different tarballs to… Continue reading
As time goes I spent quite time making the nsplugin work on 3.4 release. My fix was not optimal enough and it caused various regressions (like launching libreoffice everytime you launched browser and so on). In the end we managed to sort this out around 3.5beta2, it was a great… Continue reading

If you speak some fancy language other than english, then this post is exactly for you. While I was working on updating some of the lingua packages in the cvs based on euscan reports I checked their websites to ensure the euscan reports to be correct (in some cases it… Continue reading
Time has come to admit that 3.4 was not a great release as whole while the 3.5 series provies much much better experience wrt building and having runtime features working.
