Hi Anousak,
I prepared these zip files. Here are the instructions on how to use them.
LibreOffice currently uses 1+19 git repositories.
There is a main repository, and inside this repository, in the
'clone/' subdirectory, is the actually code of LibreOffice, in 19 git
repositories.
Some important git background. Let's say that mygitrepo/ is a typical
git repository.
There is a mygitrepo/.git/ directory that contains everything that
makes this a git repository. It has the full history, and all the
source code in a compressed form. The various files you see in
mygitrepo/*.* are simply a checked-out version of the repository.
Therefore, if I want to send you a git repository, I only need to send
you the mygitrepo/ with the mygitrepo/.git/ subdirectory. When you
receive this ZIP file with mygitrepo/ (and .git/ inside), you simply
run the commands
$ cd mygitrepo/
$ ls # no files are
found because I erased them to save space. However, .git is there.
$ ls -d .git # the .git/, that
makes the repository is there. Has all the info we need.
.git/
$ git reset --hard # This is the magic
command. It extracts the files from the repository.
# This command
undoes the erasing I did in order to save space. Now you have
# a fully working
git repository!
$ git pull --rebase # With this command you may
update the repository to the latest version.
# Connects to
git.freedesktop.org to update.
I have two archives for you,
1. loroot.git.17Nov10.zip, the main repository for LibreOffice. It has
a clone/ subdirectory which is empty.
2. clone.git.17Nov10.zip, the 19 repositories of LibreOffice. Put the
dir content into loroot/clone/
For example, the artwork will be found in loroot/clone/artwork/
Download from
a. http://simos.info/LibreOffice/loroot.git.17Nov10.zip 115MB
b. http://simos.info/LibreOffice/clone.git.17Nov10.zip 984MB
Feel free to use a download manager, such as JDownloader.
Remember for each of the 20 repositories to perform the 'git reset
--hard' command in order to restore the source files. For restore the
main repository 'loroot', then restore each of the 19 repos.
Finally, follow the instructions at
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/How_to_build
When you build LibO for the first time, the build script can see that
you already downloaded those 19 repositories and will continue with
compiling.
Hope this helps,
Simos
p.s.
Here is the list of the 19 repos, in REPOS.txt,
artwork
base
bootstrap
calc
components
extensions
extras
filters
help
impress
libs-core
libs-extern
libs-extern-sys
libs-gui
postprocess
sdk
testing
ure
writer
You can restore all of them with 'git reset --hard' easily if you run
cat REPOS.txt | awk '{ printf "(cd %s ; git reset --hard)\n", $1}'
And here is the output of the above command. You can copy and paste
this in order to restore those 19 repos in one go, very easily.
(cd artwork ; git reset --hard)
(cd base ; git reset --hard)
(cd bootstrap ; git reset --hard)
(cd calc ; git reset --hard)
(cd components ; git reset --hard)
(cd extensions ; git reset --hard)
(cd extras ; git reset --hard)
(cd filters ; git reset --hard)
(cd help ; git reset --hard)
(cd impress ; git reset --hard)
(cd libs-core ; git reset --hard)
(cd libs-extern ; git reset --hard)
(cd libs-extern-sys ; git reset --hard)
(cd libs-gui ; git reset --hard)
(cd postprocess ; git reset --hard)
(cd sdk ; git reset --hard)
(cd testing ; git reset --hard)
(cd ure ; git reset --hard)
(cd writer ; git reset --hard)
