| The extension build in this test uses an update information which is obtained |
| through a http get request. That is the URL does not reference an update |
| information file. Instead it invokes code on a webserver which returns the |
| update information. The URL used in this example is: |
| |
| http://update.services.openoffice.org/ProductUpdateService/check.Update?product=extension&extensionid=org.openoffice.extensions.testarea.desktop.updateinfo&refresh=true |
| |
| The updateinfo.oxt in this directory has the version 1.0 and in the sub-directory "update is the version 2 of this extension. Version 1.0 is also available here |
| /extensions/www/testarea/desktop/updateinfocreation/updateinfo.oxt |
| and version 2.0 here |
| /extensions/www/testarea/desktop/updateinfocreation/update/updateinfo.oxt |
| |
| Therefore they can be accessed through |
| |
| http://extensions.openoffice.org/testarea/desktop/updateinfocreation/updateinfo.oxt |
| and |
| http://extensions.openoffice.org/testarea/desktop/updateinfocreation/update/updateinfo.oxt |
| |
| The latter location (version 2.0) will also be referenced by the update information |
| which are returned by the webserver. |
| |
| The build sub-directory contains the code of the extension (version 2.0) and can |
| be build by calling dmake in this directory. The makefile uses the special macros: |
| |
| EXTUPDATEINFO_NAME=org.openoffice.extensions.testarea.desktop.updateinfo.update.xml |
| EXTUPDATEINFO_SOURCE=description.xml |
| EXTUPDATEINFO_URLS = http://extensions.openoffice.org/testarea/desktop/updateinfocreation/update/updateinfo.oxt |
| |
| This causes the generation of the update information file. This file could be |
| directly references by the URL in the <update-information> of the description.xml. |
| See also the Wiki entry at: |
| http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Creating_update_information_for_extensions |
| This generated update information file can then be used by the webserver, when it |
| sends back the requested update information. The update information file will be |
| generated in the misc diretory of the output directory. |
| |
| The update information file needs to be copied into common.pro/pus.mxyz directory. |
| The project mwsfinish will process the files in the pus directory. |
