Hi,
there is still confusion how to use ooo-build after we started to move
the diffs to git.
It is clear that developers and packagers has a bit different needs. I
tried to describe the current suggested workflow at
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/ooo-build/BuildingIt#Buildingfordifferentpurposes
There are currently two FIXME's:
1. I think that --with-git=/path-to-another-clone-dir should cause
that the other clone is used as reference to create the new clone;
the new clone still should push directly to freedesktop.
Is this true? Kendy, Thorsten?
2. I think that --with-tag option does not longer make sense. If you
want to use another ooo sources, you should use the new
--with-source-version option that is more descriptive
I am going to remove the --with-tag option
Feel free to suggest a better workflow. Point out problems with the
current one, ... Add more tips, e.g. the Fridrich's --with-src dir, ...
BTW: I think that we can't longer support build of pure OOo sources. I
think about to remove the related things from configure/download/unpack
to make them a bit easier.
Best Regards,
Petr
