[PROPOSAL] Consolidating all the build guides
As I have now some experience on building OpenOffice, I've also seen
that there are alot of wikipages that describe to some degree of detail
how to build.
I would like to consolidate them into a one or maybe very few:
1. Search for everything that's available.
2. Cluster the pages that are duplicates or similar.
3. Combine the content with moving, merging, rearranging, deleting.
4. Finally, we have one or a few references everyone can save as
browser bookmarks.
BTW:
It's really hidden in a good way as I havn't found it again. Where are
the configure options for the official releases we have done so far?
Thanks
Marcus

The thing we download is the official version (with the minor
convenience that the OOoExtras copy is also available with an embedded
MD5 hash in the filename, to validate the download). So the files are
identical.
All patching occurs after download, using patches that are stored in our
source tree.

Andrea.

I'm noticing that even in this page that is considered an official guide to
building, the epm module is downloaded from msweet.org and not from the
sourceforge oooextras mirror. Does it make any difference? Was it really
patched, or can it be downloaded just the same from the msweet.org url?

that's a good point that I will following in any case. Just a single
link to bookmark.

OK
FYI:
At the moment it seems more traffic in the different build guide incl.
updating than in the past. In order not to interferre them and not to
upset new devs, I will wait a bit longer with my updates when the
current ones have settle down.
More time for me to think about structure, content and links.

The most important fix would be to annotate all outdated ones properly.
Search engines apparently love our outdated content and we've seen
examples on this list recently too.

The only browser bookmark should be
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide_AOO
and the rest should be easily reachable from there.

I've apparently hidden it very well! I had to send the link a dozen
times to this list. Here it is again:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/openoffice/devtools/build-scripts/
(it's best to use it as a link in the build-related wiki pages).

Andrea.
