That's a pragmatic solution, not a community-building one [;<). So be it.
Well, as we discussed so far, anybody willing to build on Windows has to
download tools capable of handling .tar.bz2 anyway, and so

I downloaded the tar.bz2 to see if it could be extracted on Windows using
available tools.
The WinZip I use (admittedly an old version) does not recognize it.
7z recognizes the bz2 and will decompress it as the .tar file.
7z will then also extract the .tar if used again in a separate step.

This has nothing to do with this thread though. This thread is about
what to do about the SOURCE package, which is the package used by
DEVELOPERS who for some reason want to build their own version
I can see one possible method to reduce the number of prebuilt binaries. It
would require reconsideration of the download server and of the installer
mechanisms for each O.S.
My suggestion is:
Build only language neutral versions for each O.S. Modify the installers and
the download server so

Hi Andrea,
+1 for your idea of only one source package.

Do Windows developers really use Windows' built-in utilities for
unzipping? I really think that the minimal stack for building OpenOffice
on Windows includes some .tar.bz2-capable programs. We do download and
expand .tar.bz2 files as part of the b

There is interesting discussion on this thread that devolves into what
compression to use as the single source-package case.
I do not support this proposal as a first-choice alternative to what may be a
surmountable problem.
I want to speak to some higher-level issues, below.

Yes, there are at least a dozen compression formats better than
.tar.bz2, but it's too easy to get lost in comparing them...
So take this as a proposal to drop ZIP and drop .tar.gz ; then .tar.bz2
