Why would you need to hack this when > rawbuild folder is generated now already? The point is to generate it sooner: it is now generated by download which is generated by the build/autogen.sh.

The downloaded stuffs are currently in the src folder of the build repository and are added to the gitignore files: you can currently run a rm -rf build safely :) If the dev builds are happening in rawbuild, it'll be more complicated as rawbuild is a lot of symlinks to the clone folder. but I agree that something like make clean (properly working) would be needed. > I'd like to be able to "git diff" in the build-directory. That's why building in the current rawbuild is interesting: we could use bin/g tool to create the patches and/or commit directly instead of some black magick to move the changes from build/libreoffice* into rawbuild. > And of course I'd like to be the version for Mac that way as well as a > Linux version.

The main problem I have with building in rawbuild is that one needs to input a lot of arguments to the configure depending on his OS / Distro. These infos are all in the distros-config folder of the build repository: it would be nice to be able to reuse them when running the rawbuild/autogen.sh I hope to have explained my thoughts a bit better. -- Cédric Bosdonnat LibreOffice hacker http://documentfoundation.org OOo Eclipse Integration developer http://cedric.bosdonnat.free.fr _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
