hi Paul,

that is step 1: create a patch for core.git repo.

then you would typically jump onto IRC #libreoffice-dev and ask for 
somebody to copy the tar-file to the TDF server.

then step 3 is upload your patch to gerrit, with the new tarball on the 
server the Jenkins should be able to build it fine with any luck.
