the users list is an unlikely list to discuss building from source. [email protected] is a more likely list as the developers are there. Further, I look at the download tab ( http://download.openoffice.org/index.html ) and see that sources _ARE_ available with a click of the mouse along with the solver. Likewise, source tarballs are available in the same directory as the developement snapshots. For md5sums, see the releases list. -- PLEASE KEEP MESSAGES ON THE LIST.
