Dear all,

    Hi.  This is imacat from Taiwan.  I have successfully built
LibreOffice from libreoffice-build-3.2.99.2.tar.gz.  

Congratulations :-)

However, I wonder what the other 20 source files are for, and most
 importantly, how to use them? 

If you use libreoffice-build and follow the procedure that you used to
successfully build libreoffice then the "download" step basically pulls
down the same content that those .tar.bz2 files contain.

They're effectively a snapshot of the contents of the clone dirs and
handy if someone doesn't have network access on their build machine, or
must feed LibreOffice into a build-system which doesn't allow network
access. They don't have git history, so not really recommended for
hacking with.
