As discussed in https://s.apache.org/sHGE we can't do a clean build
while SourceForge is down, to to the fact that oooextras.mirror (where
we keep some libraries) is unreachable.
I've created a temporary mirror with the files I had locally and with
some more files (especially extensions) that Matthias provided.
In a completely clean build, you will need to:
1) Change your configure options as follows (to get dmake and epm):
./configure
--with-dmake-url=http://home.apache.org/~pescetti/oooextras.mirror/dmake-4.12.tar.bz2
--with-epm-url=http://home.apache.org/~pescetti/oooextras.mirror/epm-3.7.tar.gz
...
2) Change the fallback URL in external_deps.lst as follows:
-OOO_EXTRAS=https://sourceforge.net/projects/oooextras.mirror/files/
+OOO_EXTRAS=http://home.apache.org/~pescetti/oooextras.mirror/
3) Change URLs in extensions.lst as follows:
# English dictionary
[ language=en.* || language=de || language=it ]
- f4cb089a1101cc06e49d8bbb2886e5cf
https://sourceforge.net/projects/aoo-extensions/files/17102/38/dict-en-20171101.oxt/download
"dict-en.oxt"
+ f4cb089a1101cc06e49d8bbb2886e5cf
http://home.apache.org/~pescetti/oooextras.mirror/aoo-extensions/dict-en.oxt
"dict-en.oxt"
Hopefully the SourceForge outage will be resolved soon, so the above
changes are not worth committing.
Still, once SourceForge comes back we will want to implement a more
complete backup plan, something like the following:
1. An emergency space on an ASF server (possibly password-protected
while it is not in use) that mirrors oooextras.mirror and is regularly
synchronized from it.
2. A refactoring of extensions.lst that makes it possible to switch URLs
more easily
3. A mirror of all bundled extensions (not ALL extensions, just the ones
we bundle), as a subset of the previous mirror
Hopefully, this will allow to build when SourceForge is down (hoping
this means "never"!) by simply changing a couple lines.
Regards,
Andrea.
