Is this the same "update protocol" that is used to update the actual base package -- i.e. OOo -- the same "update" capability that is currently missing from, say, the existing Linux 32-bit build? Roberto-- where can we get more info on what is actually being "served" in response to update request? That is, the URL for it. *IF* the same "update protocol" is used for everything, base package and extensions, here is what I (we) know. Apparently, there was some proprietary tool in place from what I gather in which entries were (manually?) entered for "products". That tool created atom feeds at a specified URL which the "products/extensions" would then reference for updates. In building, both Regina and Ariel were able to successfully test an "update" by creating an atom feed with a single entry for their respective platforms (windows, linux-64 with debian packaging), and I think actually perform the update. There is information on the "format" of the feed on the wiki: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Update_Notification_Protocol but NOTHING about how the feed gets constructed. I have been wanting to experiment with adding more than one entry to the existing sample feed I ported (usign Ariel's test) to: http://www.openoffice.org/ProductUpdateService/check.Update If someone knows enough to add more "entries" to this feed complying to "atom" rules, that would be great. I don't know anything about how "matches" occur in this context. > > In the extension manager dialog the user can ask for updates of installed > > extensions ...
