Bug ID: 153846
Summary: Dead extensions need to be purged.
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.5.0.3 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Extensions
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
Context-Aware Synonym Suggester (CASS) is a very helpful sounding project, but
is long dead. The link is broken, there is no download, and no further
information. This is not an isolated case. Many, perhaps most, of the
extensions do not work with current versions of LO.
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Download an extension that doesn't work
2.Try to use it.
3.
Actual Results:
There is no file to download, you get an error when you load it, or nothing
happens--it just doesn't work
Expected Results:
The extension to do what it says it does.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
Additional Info:
Automatic testing of the site looking for dead links should be done daily.
Extensions should be part of the regression testing with each release, and
extensions which do not work should be flagged as being not compatible with
that version. The extension site needs to be changed to allow people to browse
extensions that would will for their version
(OS+architecture+version+component).
Every release should test every extension. Extension authors should be
contacts to create tests to verify that their extension works with a particular
release. At some point, extensions which have not been updated, and which only
support antique versions of LO should be deprecated and eventually removed.
