The build are "universal builds", not different builds targeted to
specific Linux distributions. You can download the source tarball, it's
the same for all distros.
If you plan to develop, it's better to check out the code with
subversion (or better git-svn).
Really? If there's an RPM, then there's probably a spec file
*somewhere*, be it maintained by the project, or otherwise.
No. The spec are generated at build time and removed once each package
each built, so there is no way to get the spec from the build (besides,
those spec are generated at runtime and are dependent on configure
switches).

On this matter -- identification of spec files for Linux packages. I
have looked in vain for about 2 weeks on this as well. I found the specs
for the desktop integrations but this is after the fact -- not the
actual specs for most of the install.
Mostly I was doing it to see what the story was so at some point we
could offer "patches" for Linux packs when the need arises. I have not
personally built AOO on my own machine (I think I may need to do some
repartitioning to make this viable), so I spent some time looking at the
buildbot output for the linux-32 build, and searching the source. I need
to get back to that I guess, but it's rally rather frustrating. If
someone could help identify the rpm options that would be enormously
helpful.
It would be great if we could have a goal in the coming year of making
things easier for former Linux packagers in my opinion.
