This version finally supports mouse events, so you can clicky in that ncurses interface, which I was really looking forward to.<\/p>\n<h2>libreoffice 3.5<\/h2>\n<p>This part is probably getting boring for all of ya :) but never the less I am now updating configure to trim down required arguments for us, so we can make the ebuild even smaller.<\/p>\n<p>Last weekend new cims library was added, as optional dependency handled by cims useflag. I now wonder if I could make cups useflag optional, because I don&#8217;t have printer so it is not usable for me (but it is just long shot and it might not be possible).<\/p>\n<p>Also last time I forgot to mention one interesting thing, the custom-cflags option was removed from live ebuild, this allow you to throw in your insane CFLAGS and the suite should not break that much, but beware that if you find breakage you are supposed to fix it for now :P<\/p>\n<p>For some automated tests that I will need to run and you can help just try simply various useflag combinations and report issues if you find some. Currently the master branch should be even buildable and if not just drop by on irc.<\/p>\n<p>Some nice numbers:<br \/>\n<code>-rw-r--r--  1 scarabeus scarabeus  19K 30.\u00a0z\u00e1\u0159 12.09 libreoffice-3.4.3.2-r1.ebuild<br \/>\n-rw-r--r--  1 scarabeus scarabeus  15K  5.\u00a0\u0159\u00edj  2011 libreoffice-9999-r1.ebuild<br \/>\nscarabeus@arcarius: ~\/gentoo\/gentoo-x86\/app-office\/libreoffice $ diff libreoffice-3.4.9999-r1.ebuild libreoffice-9999-r1.ebuild |wc -l<br \/>\n440<\/code><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This month I will be quite a lot offline, because I plan to spend my weekends crawling various caves -&gt; no computer -&gt; no big updates expect those I do when I get home from work.
