openoffice-base: no PKGBUILD in abs

Hello,

I have been trying to compile openoffice, so I wanted to check out what arch was doing. To my surprise, there is no PKGBUILD inside /var/abs/extra/office/openoffice-base, only some patch files (which I suppose to be the ones applied by the missing PKGBUILD).

Tried deleting the whole abs tree and re synching, with no success. Perhaps the file is missing in the ABS host? (just using default abs config)

Thanks!

It seems the files miss the CURRENT tag; you might have some success using the version from HEAD?

Fede, did you compile openoffice-base;
I have an AthlonXp 1800+, and it has taken more than 8 hours compiling and compiling, and taking space up. The directory of src had reached at 4.4GB and then i run out of hard disk space, so the compiling process was cancelled. Are those numbers logical; Does anyone know how much it takes to compile openoffice relative to it's computer speed;

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

No, I didn't compile it, I wanted to see how it was done in the arch package.
Still I've read in a wiki somewhere (sorry, I can't find it now) that compiling openoffice uses more than 4Gb of hard disk space.

Good luck!

Re: openoffice-base: no PKGBUILD in abs

Yes, i finally managed to compile openoffice-base, but i had to remove option -P6  (SMP option). Otherwise, i war sunning out of memory, and the system became unusable during compile. The total size became around 6Gb. Although the package could not be created, because of some error i managed to test the patches i'm creating.

No, i want to make some changes to my patches and recompile. Do i have to recompile the whole thing again? If i do a makepkg, current src will be "deleted" and the process will start over. Is something i could do to compile only the parts that have changed?
