I can see one possible method to reduce the number of prebuilt binaries.
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 of OpenOffice from a source archive, without using our SVN or Git interfaces. And the thread already derailed enough without the need that we also take binaries into account!
I don't know how feasible this might be
Your suggestion makes sense, even though it's unrelated to this thread. It was considered in the past, just it's not feasible with our setup: we would need 100 times smaller packages, only one server for download and a small fraction of the download rate we have today to make it sustainable. Still, this same idea can be rearranged a bit to make it feasible in a similar way. More details in another thread, but only when I have numbers! It isn't useful to discuss this based on pure theory, since it is a very practical problem.
