building rpms for fedora rawhide
I don't know where this is at, but I heard that people wanted this.
So far, I have a spec file for dmake. I need to fix a few errors and
warnings, but it does make an rpm which works.
I'm keeping my work here:
https://github.com/fredollinger/aooo-fedora-rawhide
Next move is an rpm for esp.
Then I'll move on to aooo.
If this is pointless, please don't let me know. I want to learn to
build rpms, etc.
If there's something else that I can do which is just as easy, but
more pressing, please let me know.
sincerely,
Fred

Ug, I wish I did this earlier.
I don't have anything to add at this time. But I'll update this next
time I find a new wrinkle in fedora rawhide that we need.
At this point, I'm working on aooo build deps for fedora.

No special request is necessary. Anyone can sign up for a wiki account

Look for the "create account" link in the upper right of the page.

May I please an account?
I'm building on fedora now. I'd like to point the first page to the second.
Also, I do now have some minor updates.
Sincerely,

Actually, we have a dedicated page too:
http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Fedora_Build_Instructions
It's just one of many redundancies in the wiki, probably... but the
latter is more specific and more up-to-date in general.

This is great to know really!
Would you mind if this information was added to our current Linux Building
information:
http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide_AOO/Building_on_Linux
or maybe you could update some of the Fedora information when you get a
moment?

My fault. Here's a quick status update: OpenOffice 4 was accepted as a
"Feature" for Fedora 19, but the new OpenOffice 4 schedule puts the
tentative release date after the tentative Fedora 19 release date
(June), and we don't have anything really ready for testing (in terms of
new code, now still in branches, or packaging); and Fedora 19 testing
begins this week.
So OpenOffice cannot be a "feature" for Fedora 19 any longer, but this
only means that it won't be part of the release notes and that it won't
be a stopper for the Fedora 19 release. This would have made sense until
our schedule was to release in March-April, but no longer now.
It is still possible that official OpenOffice packages for Fedora 19 are
available on the same day Fedora 19 (or OpenOffice 4) is released; this
is independent of being a "feature", so nothing is lost here. Actually,
if Fedora 19 for some other reason is delayed and we manage to have
OpenOffice 4 ready for the "Features 100% Complete" deadline (currently
May 7th, probably still too early) we can even ask to go back as a
"Feature".

This is fantastic news! Yes, indeed packaging dmake is a prerequisite
for properly packaging OpenOffice. And we can't package dmake as part of
the OpenOffice project for licensing reasons, so I'll spare you details,
but we surely need it.

Sounds like an excellent plan. We should talk more, offlist or onlist.
But I'll make sure to test your dmake packages on a Rawhide virtual
machine and report back. And let's keep the door open, since I suspect
that once there is something to play with other people will join.
When we come to packaging OpenOffice, things get more interesting and
quite harder: for example, the Environment Modules theoretically allow
the best conflict handling in our case... but I haven't seen them
working yet, and questions on the Fedora lists remained unanswered, so
there's plenty of fun we can still have in discovering them.

It is not pointless at all.

As you will have seen while building, the Fedora 19 packaging requires
other fixes and modernizations (I had to apply a modified version of a
patch by you I found in Bugzilla, for example; or to tweak the handling
of our configuration options; and in the end we'll probably update
HSQLDB, and so on...) that are quite beneficial in the long run. So if
we get it done nicely, it's good progress for the project as a whole and
not for the Fedora users only.

Andrea.
