Priority: medium
Bug ID: 81155
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Summary: Extension Manager: Integrity Check mechanism should be
implemented to avoid installing broken extensions
Severity: enhancement
Classification: Unclassified
OS: All
Reporter: suokunl...@gmail.com
Hardware: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.4.0.0.alpha0+ Master
Component: Extensions
Product: LibreOffice
This idea comes from bug 81143.
It was a time when I installed an extension, but after installaion I found that
extension does not work at all, and I tried to remove it but failed.
Then reset my user profile, downloaded the extension again and installed again,
now that extension works as expected.
Then I have an idea that, libreoffice should include the checksum info in the
extension packages, and when isntalling, extension manager should check the
integrity of the package.
By now, it's even possible to install an empty extension to libreoffice (create
a new empty text file "test.oxt", then it can be installed to libreoffice).
As the official extension repo is growing, it's important to have this checksum
mechanism to avoid broken packages.
