          Issue ID: 127637
        Issue Type: DEFECT
           Summary: Use version-independent filenames for bundled
                    extensions
           Product: General
           Version: 4.2.0-dev
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: CONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P5 (lowest)
         Component: spell checking
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]
  Target Milestone: ---

The English dictionary is now using date-dependent filenames, like
dict-en-20171101.oxt

We still want, though, to use version-independent filenames when a file is
meant to replace another one. So in the bootstrap phase we should enforce the
filename.

Benefits are marginal at the moment, but they include:

- Micro (x.y.1) upgrades won't complain about missing files if the target has
been deleted first - not a common use case

- Possible (future work) incremental upgrades won't be confused by different
filenames
