No, there is no easy way to download them other than what you have
mentioned earlier. My build scripts download (if necessary) anything
that is listed in the download section prior to a build, so its not an
issue for me. My goal was to have all dependencies system installed, but
I stopped short of the fonts that libreoffice required.
Previously (without --disable-fetch-external) , I use to have:
if [ -f ../libreoffice-src-4.1.3.2.tar ];then
tar -xvf ../libreoffice-src-4.1.3.2.tar
fi
prior to the autogen command, and
if [ ! -f ../libreoffice-src-4.1.3.2.tar ];then
tar -cvf ../libreoffice-src-4.1.3.2.tar src/*.{bz2,gz,tgz,zip}
fi
after the make command.
Wayne.
