The build broke in module sal, because file 'convertiscii.tab' could not be found.

This file has been removed a couple of days ago by hdu - 2012-03-28, rev. 1306246.
Thus, a clean build is needed to get the dependencies up to date.
There have been 2 clean builds (one was last night's build) since the sal issue first occurred. The problem remains - something else is wrong. This would be good to sort out.

Can someone please trigger a clean build for our Windows buildbot?
done twice.
Thx in advance.

BTW, as our build system is quite complex and not complete regarding its dependencies I propose to always perform a clean build on our buildbots.
I am not so sure that the build system is all that complex. There are three main moving parts here:

 * The buildbot infrastructure.  This is perhaps the most complex part,
   but is mostly handled by Apache Infra (thanks Gavin)
 * The 'machine recipe' which can be seen in the JIRAs setting up the
   buildbots - base OS + packages/requirements.  Not rocket science,
   and very repeatable.
 * The 'build recipe' which is in the openoffice config for the
   buildbots.  These break down into get source (svn co), run build,
   upload results.  The syntax in the bb config is a bit cryptic, but
   you can figure it out pretty quick, at which point, there's nothing
   to exotic going on.

We have a combination of clean builds (svn clobber) and incremental builds going on. The clobbered builds just take a long time. I'm not sure that we are really at a point where we need to do a clean build for every platform, for every build. It just sucks up bandwidth and resources, and takes longer.
All of this is of course covered by a healthy dose of IMHO.
