I think that the problem is combination of more things:
1. OOo build is split into more pieces and it takes long time.
2. I do my best to submit buildable packages but it takes many days before the
submit request is accepted. Other submitted packages causes new build
breakages.
3. Build Service is much slower than autobuild and it takes many days until the
full build finishes. OOo is a leaf package and it is sometimes not built
many days at all.
4. The build hosts are unstable and cause many false build errors. At least, I
see this in the external Build Service.
5. It is not easy to check for build failures. I use
osc -A https://api.suse.de prjresults "SUSE:Factory:Head" -n
"OpenOffice_org"
It shows "b = blocked" most of the time; It is hard to catch "F = failure"
We are working on bigger changes in the split build that should reduce the
build dependencies and might help to build OOo earlier. Unfortunately, it is
quite complex task and we will use it for OOo-3.2 (after openSUSE-11.2
release).
I think that we also need changes in the other areas:
+ faster check in
+ faster Build Service
+ more stable build hosts
+ more effective access to the build results
