------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Apr 25 08:56:46 +0000 2008 ------- jl: The extensions worked so far too *without* embedding the arch in the identifier. So why change this now? And if you registered a extension only containing 1 arch on a system only supporting that one arch you can just use the identifier without PLATFORMID. For example in Debian, the presentation-minimizer or voikko is built for all archs and this works: $ /usr/lib/openoffice/program/unopkg list --shared | grep Ide Identifier: org.puimula.ooovoikko Identifier: com.sun.reportdesigner Identifier: org.openoffice.legacy.postgresql-sdbc-0.7.5.zip Identifier: org.openoffice.legacy.writer2latex.uno.pkg Identifier: org.openoffice.legacy.openoffice.org-ctl-he.zip Identifier: org.openoffice.legacy.sun-presentation-minimizer.oxt (one oxt for one arch). FWIW; this is on a Linux/powerpc machine. > -when installing another version of the extension. The Extension Manager will > not accept that both version are installed alongside. Yes, and? You are talking about multiple platforms in one installation and then registering let's say x86 and sparc extensions there? I do not believe this is very common.. > -during the on-line update.

So you want to tell me the extension manager might offer a let's say powerpc extension to i386 users? That's no argument for changing the Identifier but for fixing the extension manager / the extension website to not return not matching architectures. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
