------- Additional comments from j...@openoffice.org Wed Sep 15 11:51:13 +0000 2010 ------- If a user installes a OOo 3.3 for the first time then all bundled extensions are properly processed. If one adds or removes a bundled extensions by the setup, then OOo MAY not notice it. That is the new extension cannot be used by the user, or there seems to be one available which actually is not. This also applies for shared extensions. This problem may occur if OOO is installed on a NFS server, if the user installation is on a nfs server, or both. OOo compares the modified time of the folder containing all bundled extensions with the modified time of a file called lastsynchronized which is in the user installation (user/extensions/bundled). Only if the folder was more recently modified than the file, the extension manager will look for added or removed bundled extensions. Then it will write the lastsychronized file. That is, lastsychronized was more recently modified then the dictionary. If the modified time of the folder does not change, then the extension manager will not look for added/removed bundled extensions the next time OOo starts. This mechanism is new. That is, the lastsychronized file will not exist yet in most user installations. If the file is missing, then the extension manager will always look for added or removed bundled extensions. Comparing the modified times does not work well if the files/folder are on NFS volumes. If a client writes a file on a NFS server, then the modified time may that of the NFS server. In our scenario the folder containing the extension can be on one NFS server, and the user installation on another one. That is, they cannot be compared directly. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
