------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Jun 18 08:09:48 +0000 2008 ------- The required minimum version of ant has been bumped to 1.7.0 which makes it unnecessarily difficult to build OOo on Debian, since Debian stable is currently on 1.6.5 and no backport is available at this time. I was able to compile m2 (the official beta) just fine with ant 1.6.5 after fixing swext/mediawiki/build.xml like this - <file file="${commons-codec-jar}"/> - <file file="${commons-httpclient-jar}"/> - <file file="${commons-lang-jar}"/> - <file file="${commons-logging-jar}"/> + <fileset file="${commons-codec-jar}"/> + <fileset file="${commons-httpclient-jar}"/> + <fileset file="${commons-lang-jar}"/> + <fileset file="${commons-logging-jar}"/> P L E A S E, is little syntactic sugar such as this enough to satisfy making the already excruciatingly painful task of building OOo even harder? If you lack the necessary skills, I'll be happy to help you adapt your ant buildfiles to 1.6.5, but don't just bump the minversion to match your shiny new bleeding edge developer machine, because it saves you a little time to look into the ant manual. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
