1. What is the main problem with the build system as it is?
It's ugly. I recall you once built OpenOffice, right? It is not the easy
configure + make. Still, it works and the build system is not standing in
the way for a release.
OK, that's good to know. I got the impression from some earlier
discussions that it was somehow a major sticking point in terms of getting
releases out and what-not. Good to see that that's not the case.
The build system (as in code structure) is not much in the way.
Creating, uploading and releasing binaries, instead, is very time-consuming.
3. Regarding Mac in particular, I'll repeat this question from an earlier
thread: Does the ASF have Mac hardware for doing Mac builds, or are we
dependent solely on developer machines for that?
All OpenOffice releases have always been built on machines under control
of individual developers.
Ah, OK. Is that the desired state of affairs? Or would there be any
impetus to try to get dedicated build machines that are hosted somewhere
and used for the binary builds?
There is a (saner than most discussions seen here in the last days)
thread about it: https://s.apache.org/utpy
Most notably, as a Linux user you might want to follow the recipe there
and try to create you own 32-bit CentOS 5 (old, but our baseline for the
moment) VM for building release-ready OpenOffice 32-bit builds.
Everything is done already, but I'll be posting updates to that thread
as soon as I have time for it.
Regards,
Andrea.
