But Google recently (still, months ago) changed their policy and the Board is aware but a solution was not actually found. SourceForge started a replacement at http://sourceforge.net/directory/apache_extras but it is not official yet. So we are in a transition phase. The OpenOffice "bootstrap" script does exactly what you need to do here (download and extract tarballs to the right places). It's a Perl script which is probably built, using bootstrap.1, as part of the configure process... Well, if interested look at http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/openoffice/trunk/main/ ; in bootstrap.1, line 42 contains the actual call to the downloader script. Regards, Andrea.
