Yes, for the SFE part, it has been sitting on the mediawiki of pkgbuild. The Wiki Source files are still in a safe place (my ZFS disk :) but I got mad of waiting on the sourceforge hosted mediawiki install getting hacked after a day. So if someone has an idea on converting mediawiki pages to a modern wiki, please let me know very soon, that would help a lot. Getting a SFE build environment is either by a running a single script called bootstrap-sfe*, or, the already mentioned longer step guide from the wiki. But that guide is currently locked in the offline mediawiki pages. If at least two people raise hands, I'll put up a draft page somewhere which describes the usage of the boostrap-sfe-* script. Then the build-recipes form the SFE repository can be built locally. Those recipes usually run on OpenIndiana OI151a[89], Hipster, Solaris 11 (12), OmniOS. And the LibreOffice for Hipster and Solaris 11 is built from this stack.
