EPM
Moin,
we need EPM to build packages on Linux. As we don't want to keep EPM in
our repository, we have to use an EPM installed in the system. According
to the documentation on their website and several other sites using EPM
does not influence the license of the software that is packed, though
EMP itself is licenses under GPL.
So EPM can be seen as a build tool like the compiler or linker and IMHO
that means that we can continue to use it for creating our packages. I
asked about that here already, but without an echo.
I committed a patch that enables EPM as installed in the system. Of
course that makes EPM a build requirement.
Regards,
Mathias

That will of course vanish as there won't be an internal EPM anymore.
configure will have to handle that then.

We tried Cmake and dropped it.
But that's a topic we can discuss later. :-)
If you want, you can look for the discussion we had on
dev@openoffice.org some time ago.

If I ever work on the build system, it will be very
differently ... with Cmake :-)
cheers,

On Linux it always was needed in OOo, either from system or - in case
BUILD_EPM=YES - from the ooo module epm. If you want to do it
differently, send patches. :-)

Hmm.. investigating a bit, we use --with-epm=internal
I would've thought --without-epm would've been more
intuitive, but I still think it shouldn't be a build
requirement at all.
cheers,
Pedro.

OOo always used EPM for package creation by default. My first patch for
disabling copyleft components removed that, now I brought it back again.
If you had your own way, you probably had your own configure switches to
work with it. I hope it still works.

Hmmm ... of course some of us don't use linux and create our own
packages without EPM.
