Hi Andrew;
We agreed to completely drop the Category- B tarballs from SVN before graduation. We
haven't really done it yet but additionaly removing the Category-A was planned
in
order to comply with infra's policy.
The removal of the tarballs from svn is an important project, and I am
not suggesting going back or anything.
That said, the change has caused instability in the build. In
addition, I am having problems with this process
in two separate places, so I think this represents an issue with the build.
When updating components I have, in general, stopped uploading the src tarballs to SVN
in favor of distributing them though ooo-extras @apache-extras: (not all are
used)
http://code.google.com/a/apache-extras.org/p/ooo-extras/downloads/list
I like this. This should continue.
The build scripts are ready for it but it seems like the buildbot doesn't like fetching more
stuff (?).
I think the build scripts might need further refinement in this area.
Can we have the buildbot cache those files?
I am very wary of this type of approach. I see the buildbots as the
proverbial 'canary in the coal mine' and it is better to fix the build
than to have the buildbots work around the problem. I understand that
we have a very complex and delicate build, but we need to know when we
have made things worse, and I am afraid this is one of those times
(location of the tarballs is greatly improved, but at the cost of the
download of tarballs being destabilized)
I'm mucking around with adding $agent->env_proxy; to download_ext_dep.pl
so that it punches through a proxy when present. Hopefully this will go
part of the way toward fixing the issues. (also - do agree that reload
of perl on linux32 may solve issues there)

Subject: [BUILD] downloading of resources during bootstrap
The linux32 buildbot is not able to download all of the required resources during bootstrap:
http://ci.apache.org/builders/openoffice-linux32-nightly/builds/268/steps/compile_2/logs/stdio
I have a similar problem on my local build with the resources for vigra, zlib,
jpeg, boost (and dmake) not downloading successfully.
This changed when we moved the resources out of svn (???). What has changed ?
and what speciffically is used to download the resources now?
(on my local machine, I think part of the issue is the proxy combined with a
redirect - not sure about the buildbot)
help??
A.
