Hi Stephan, > Feel free to come back here with any questions along your way, Thank you very much for your kind offer!
Indeed, after studying your information there would be a couple of questions: * where would one find the full definition for "manifest.xml" and a list of valid "mainfest:media-type"s; I looked in the developers guide and tried the search function of the Wiki, but have not been really able to locate it? * also, where would one be able to find the full definition for the "description.xml" file? o ad version numbers: would something like "2.1.0.20070202" or "210.20070202" be o.k. (according to the production rule it should be possible) or would that pose any problems (the date of the version is the trailing value, possibly supplemented with the time of the day like "210.20070202162200") * ad "application/vnd.sun.star.uno-component;type=native": o This can be used to not only denote libraries, but also executables and modules (or with other words: these files will be put into a place that is accessible via the PATH settings?) o Is there a complete list somewhere of the operating system dependent strings? The extension document mentions "Windows", "Linux_x86", "Solaris_SPARC". So what about PPC versions of Linux or Intel versions of Solaris or PPC and/or Intel versions of MacOSX? * is there a possibility to copy a set of scripts (in any available scripting language) to the user and/or shared script repository? If possible, what would be the appropriate "manifest:media-type" entry? o Of course this may pose a little problem when using the update feature, as such scripts could have been edited in the meantime by the users (but then one could resolve this by moving the existing/edited extension scripts to an own backup library) TIA, ---rony
