Build OOo langpacks separately from code
Build the OOo l10n and help packs in less CPU time, and without duplicating the OOo source in the archive.
Currently the archive hosts two (identical) 450MB OOo source packages to be able to build the l10n and help packages independently from the OOo packages containing the binaries. Do not build the code for binary packages when building language packages. The time required to build the language packages exceeds the time to build the binary packages.
We plan on trying to get this done via the split build in Jaunty+1 timeframe but will be working with Sun during the Jaunty release cycle to get upstream code ready for this.

Feb 9 - 11 - Meeting with Sun in Hamburg about split build
pitti, 2011-05-03: Launchpad support for *.sdf is not likely to happen, so let's re-unify -l10n back into libreoffice and avoid all the delta and pain.
doko, 2011-05-03: the former has nothing to do with the latter. the conversion scripts are present, but were not updated. yes, it would be a pain to have all the -l10n and -help builds in SRU's.
bjoern-michaelsen, 2011-05-03: sdf might or not might not die soon upstream anyway: http://
