Unfortunately there is no location for RC described in our cWiki:

Definitely a point that should be added...


This is one of the processes where OpenOffice simply behaves as a normal 
Apache project. Release Candidates (please note: ONLY Release 
Candidates) should be uploaded to SVN following the normal process 
outlined at http://www.apache.org/dev/release-publishing.html


This means that Release Candidates for OpenOffice should go here:
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/openoffice/

There are two reasons, though, for us NOT uploading the normal dev 
builds (those that are not meant to be voted upon; of course 4.1.4 is 
not at RC stage) there:

1. Uploading dozens of GBytes to SVN is really painful
2. Since SVN stores (on the server) the history of all files, this would 
be heavy on the SVN server


So we've traditionally hosted the normal dev builds (before RC) on 
people.apache.org; but Infra decided to replace it with  home.apache.org 
and to make it SFTP-only (no rsync); still, it is possible, while still 
painful, to upload an OpenOffice development snapshot there; see

https://home.apache.org/~pescetti/openoffice-4.1.3-dev-r1761989/binaries/
as an example.

Which in short means: before RC, use a personal space to share builds, 
home.apache.org being the most "politically correct" option (even though 
from a technical point of view there are no advantages in using it 
rather than a personal web space).


Feel free to include this information in the wiki pages if needed.

  Andrea.

My AOO 4.1.4 builds are ready for upload.


Thanks! I've addressed the "where to upload" question separately. Note: 
these are best defined as AOO414 (this is a name of a branch, not of a 
product) builds since we are still not close to RC stage for OpenOffice 
4.1.4. I think this is clear to everybody, but I repeated it just in 
case someone in the misunderstands these as "possible Release Candidates 
for 4.1.4".

Where are these settings from?

Here you find the real options used for 4.1.2:

http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/openoffice/devtools/build-scripts/4.1.2/unxmacos/build_aooreleases.sh?revision=1736814&view=markup#l29

While your options seem to follow the script you wrote uploaded to SVN 
for 4.1.3:

http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/openoffice/devtools/build-scripts/4.1.3/unxmacos/build_aoo64bit_on_osx10.11.sh?view=log
But if I recall correctly that script was not used for the actual 4.1.3 
builds.


It would be good to use at least the same build version across operating 
systems... but again, this is the reason for having dev builds! So let's 
share what we have, document properly and then fix the differences.

  Andrea.
