First a thank you to everyone who attended the build system meeting yesterday at Sun Hamburg. There was 10+ people present with ideas flowing back and forth for the better part of two hours. Martin H. has promised to provide the official minutes, for those of you who didn't attend.
Anyway, I've been trying to get my head around doing fast and highly distributed builds in a way suitable for the OO.o process. This an initial idea of how we could add support for generic build farms into the process, so that people -anywhere- could easily set up their little cluster. The basic idea is simple: we set up the whole dependency graph, including all the relationships between common and platform specific files, and then we use that to schedule actions. The actions are simple shell snippets that are routed to the correct machine type based on a platform tag: "wntmsci10", "unxlngi6", "common". More details in the paper. Feedback appreciated as always! Kai -- Kai Backman, Software Engineer, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
