------- Additional comments from [email protected] Wed Jan 20 10:52:25 +0000 2010 ------- @msc: That the extension can be installed and works fine for you on MWS is by chance. Chose a somewhat longer pathname for the OOo user installation (e.g., have a longer user name if the OOo user installation is at its default location underneath $SYSUSERCONFIG), and it will start to break down on MWS as well. I identify two potential differences between MWS and sb111: 1 The long pathname problem apparently starts to already appear for somewhat shorter paths (of xcs/xcu files within extensions) on sb111 than on MWS. However, as the long pathname problem in general appears on both, MWS and sb111, just differently for slightly different inputs, I do not see the need to address that problem on sb111, given that issue 50885 will be fixed for OOo 3.3. 2 On sb111 there apparently are situations (depending on user installation location and paths of xcs/xcu files within extensions) where installing an extension works but subsequent OOo starts fail, as I explained above (as the pathnames used during extension installation can be slightly shorter than those used during OOo start up). I do not know whether or not something similar can happen on MWS (i.e., whether there are also situations there where extension installation succeeds while some later operation fails). However, making sure that, with issue 50885 unfixed, sb111 would never encounter this unfortunate combination, would require rather large code modifications. Given that issue 50885 will be fixed for OOo 3.3, those code modifications would be both a waste of resources and a lasting increase in source complexity that would become unsubstantiated as soon as issue 50885 is fixed. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
