I think it would take about 2 weeks for the most essential items. But sadly my Windows build is crashing on startup and my FreeBSD build is crashing during the build in main/offapi due to some kind of memory bug in idlc (either due to changes in FreeBSD or corruption of my system files), so sadly I first need a few days to investigate and possibly reinstall my setups.
