Testing the reference builds is indeed extremely important, and should be most of the testing.

The significance of the builds from source is that a PMC member can only cast a binding +1 vote if they have done one, and we need at least three binding +1 votes to release. They also need to have a general opinion that the release should go out, and all the non-binding votes and testing reports may influence that.

Hello,

for my understanding, beside doing a good build it is necessary to have
and totest defined reference builds.

The way I see it, it is not easy to do a good build if you didn't have
enough practice doing it.

I didn't myself any C/C++ build before. So IHMO I will waste time to
improve my build environment instead of testing a reference build

My results of testing belong to the reference builds published as RC1 at
dist.apache.org.

Apache OpenOffice is a project with a wide user base, who only use the
binaries. So it is important to release well defined and tested binaries.

Otherwise support becomes hell.

Kind regards
