but it still highlight the problem I had in the beginning...our wiki has really much valuable information, but to an extent it is shadowed by identical information which are not maintained. I searched for ubuntu build instruction way back, and as you can imagine got confused. Thx. to the brilliant help from this list I got it up and running. I hope we in the short future can get our wiki a bit streamlined (I am not thinking about removing information, but simply mark it as outdated, with a link to the newer information. > > Please see last sentence in http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide_AOO#Preface @herbert regarding buildbot, I can see your point and agree with it. However I still think we should document exactly how our binary distributables are made. I have actually not been able to produce an exact match yet where I have tried. When people want to play with the system it is nice to have a stable start like rebuilding the release and the same result. Jan I > > -Andre >
