I can see one possible method to reduce the number of prebuilt binaries. It would require reconsideration of the download server and of the installer mechanisms for each O.S.
My suggestion is: Build only language neutral versions for each O.S. Modify the installers and the download server so that all downloads are this language neutral package (about 110/120 MB at a guess) and a language pack of the selected language (20 MB?) - this packaging is the download server's responsibility. The installer installs the language neutral version then silently installs the selected language pack. I don't know how feasible this might be - bear in mind my knowledge of compilation and linking dates from the days of Z80 assembler and static linking at compile time! Doing the above suggestion would dramatically reduce the required number of prebuilt binaries. -- Rory O'Farrell <ofarr...@iol.ie> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
