Sorry Kay, I never replied to this. There has been some minor changes
in the plans (mainly driven by heiner and ause on how they want to do
the transitioning) so I'll answer based on current best knowledge

In addition to the speedup, this was one of the main things I was

Very good.

- No "deliver" anymore, just directly access the files in the modules.

I initially wanted to roll out this immediately by reworking a ton of
includes and
basically removing the need for hedabu. For now I've pushed this back (and
it
might end up as a team effort for all module owners to co-operate on). The
It may make sense to split things, e.g. to remove headabu first and to concentrate on the other changes later on.
main
thing I hit was that some non-compile OO.o tools don't recognize the
#include ""
statement and the added "same dir as file" search path. Nothing major, but
it seems reasonably to do this once the first part works. Most of the
changes
were mechanical, so it might be possible to automate the conversion as well.
If I understand correctly, this may be another independent step.

Anyway, yeah, I've been bitten by the "edit file that's actually a copy" a
few times
Me too ;-)
too much .. And ause reminds me regularly he wants the cleanup CWS, just in
case
I forget ..

- Want to be able to build any particular file by providing its name on
the command line, including intermediate files (.o,.a,...):

As long as you provide the full path to the file that would work. However,
knowing
how many name conflicts we have, building especially object files without
the path
specifier (or potentially grist) would be difficult. Hmm. Maybe I don't
fully understand
what you are looking for here? Just the ability to build different pieces
than module
(build.pl) and directory (dmake)?
Just forget it, I was only dreaming ...

- Get rid of the makefiles ;-)

Well, you might end up with Jamfiles instead .. Not like your custom system
sadly .. :-)
What does they look like?

- Want to be able to transparently build distributed, e.g. by using
distcc or cachecc

Should be more of a compiler setup question than specifically related to
the build. There
isn't much the build needs (can) do in this regard? Or what kind of support
where you
looking for?
Don't know, just want to be able to use it. I tried it for some standard projects and got a reasonable speed up in build time.

- Want to be able to execute the soffice out of the modules, without the
need to create install sets and to install these.

Yay, I'm all for this as well, but it might require a bit of other code
tweaks.
Others would love you for that as well ... :-)

If you need more, just send me a note ;-)

You just nominated yourself as a tester once I have the initial insta-build
package
released .. Thanks! :-)
You are welcome!

Take care,

Kai
