            Bug ID: 164757
           Summary: MAR update envvar LIBO_UPDATER_TEST_ENABLE set false
                    does not block updater
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 24.8.1.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Installation
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]

In a bit of a twist, the now enabled by default [1] MAR based auto-update can
not be prevented. Working too well ;-)

I needed to check on a feature (for bug 164745) in a 24.8.2.1 build, so
performed /a admin install of the MSI package. Adjusted the bootstrap.ini to
run from $ORIGIN as normal for /a admin installs, on first run the MAR update
based updater process runs and patches the 24.8.2.1 up to current 24.8.4.2
builds.

Cleaned it off and set the LIBO_UPDATER_TEST_ENABLE to "0", and reinstalled.
Same result.  Set value to "false", same result.  Removed the env variable,
same result.  

With or without the envvar, the MAR based updater now always runs!

Shouldn't we have a way to block it?

Making QA a challenge, may have to finally figure out git bibisecting.
