Well to me it looks like your checkout is broken

Ok, that's the explanation. That and why I disabled I
already explained - truly my fault.
What makes the unodevtools directory missing I don't
know.
BTW ... you did check out? Or did you download the
source tarball and the modules are missing in the
source tarball?
2.0.1 source tarball. It's an directory unotools
there, but no unodevtools. I just started another try
to compile that tarball and for this adventure I
additionally checked out unodevtools via CVS. May it
help.
Ah, bug in the creation script for the source tar balls. Now we get
somewhere. I'll forward this.
Epm creates the rpm-archives, that's the regular way
to obtain installation sets.
Ok, but the point I don't get (and you seem to miss
seeing) is *why* do I need an installation set.
That's ok if I just want compile and use OOo, but do
all you developers constantly tweak the source,
compile *and then* build installation sets, install
OOo and see if your tweak worked?
Doesn't OOo run from the compilation target directory?
No, not right away. A lot of additional tasks are done during
installation like the registration of components. People usually install
a version and copy files into the installation (symlinks are nice here).
But to officially pass your work to QA you'll need an installation set
anyway. Also the automated smoketest requires at least one installation set.
There used to be a way to just create tar-balls,
don't know if it still works. It should, but it
might
be not that often used and thus subject to bit rot.
Oh, nice. If it works I'm looking forward getting
rpm's my system (FreeBSD as mentioned) can't handle
(by default).
Won't work every time :-)
Sure, I'll not rely on that.

Thanks, they're there (someone should update the
docs). But, as expected not, for my "exotic" system.
