Getting buildbots operational again

Issue https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-11296 has been open 
for more than one month. It prevents buildbots from operating correctly. 
Infra did fix one buildbot, but 5 are still waiting.

If someone is interested in the story, all buildbots broke because we 
download dependencies from the (SourceForge-hosted) ooo-extras 
repository before building. SF decided to switch from HTTP to HTTPS but 
our buildbots were caught unprepared (we use a Perl script that needs an 
additional Perl module to use HTTPS). So the reason buildbots fail is 
that one small installation must be done on each machine, and this is a 
task for Infra.

But due to this we can't have nightly builds and we can't test the 
changes Damjan did months ago in an attempt to fix the Windows buildbots.

Fortunately it seems there's a workaround: SourceForge uses HTTPS for 
the mirror selection, but then the file gets downloaded through HTTP 
from the selected mirror. So I've gone ahead and I've changed the 
generic SourceForge URLs to a pre-selected SourceForge mirror (the one I 
was getting in my tests). See 
https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=126892

This will hopefully mean that buildbots get past the "./bootstrap" 
phase. It is a temporary fix that will be reverted when all buildbots 
support HTTPS download.

Regards,
   Andrea.

ah, thats the problem. Now I got the complete picture. Thanks.

I cross my fingers. :-)

​Thank you SO much for this fix.

All buildbots are indeed now past the "./bootstrap" phase (the one that 
had been failing in the last month) and they are now building, which 
will take several hours.

You can see the nightly ones here:
https://ci.apache.org/builders/aoo-win7
https://ci.apache.org/builders/openoffice-fbsd-nightly
https://ci.apache.org/builders/openoffice-linux32-nightly
https://ci.apache.org/builders/openoffice-linux64-nightly

(the last one was already OK since it is on the system that Infra had 
already updated to support HTTPS).

Regards,
   Andrea.
