Hi Laurent,

The menu item will be controlled by the entry "UpdateURL" in the
version.ini|rc file, located besides the Office executable. If the
"UpdateURL" entry has a value the menu item is visible otherwise it's
invisible. "Check for Updates..." retrieves the version information of
an installed OpenOffice.org and sends the data to the URL defined by
"UpdateURL".
This is an active process regarding user data
Some users may wonder why data are sent
Well data is only sent after the user selects the menu entry "Check for
Updates...".
May i suggest to think at passive mode
- a file (or something elese) is maintened server side containing the
last version
- while checking, the information are retrieved from the server
- the version numbers are compared
- if user agree, the new version is retreived (even automatically would
be possible by load balancing mirrors)
Thats whats being done.
This is the approach i used for DicOOo and FontOOo and the one i plan to
use for Extensions Installer. Feel free to ask for more details
Btw, why restricting to Hamburg builds ?
Probably other distributions don't like to use the feature, so as
default it's turned off. They can easily turn it on if they like to use it.
