Hi,
here is a short update of my progress towards the support of Windows
patches.
I have created issue 123531 [1] for this. I have started my work by
doing some cleaning up.
Issue 123532 [2] is a sub task about cleaning up
instsetoo_native/util/makefile.mk. This is where the creation if
windows patches will ultimately be triggered. You should see
less warnings, less copying of files, and the internal structure should
be a little easier to read.
Issue 123595 [3] is a sub task about cleaning up how log information are
created by make_installer.pl (the Perl file that created individual
installation sets; its called by the makefile.mk mentioned above) and
its modules. Creating installation sets, and later patches, is a
process that takes a couple of minutes per language and output format
(msi, archive, deb, ...) and type (openoffice, sdk, languagepack).
Having decent log information is quite important when working on this.
In the log files that are produced you can no find timing information
that shows how long individual steps take. There are some minor changes
to what is printed to the console.
If any of these changes lead to problems, please tell me. I have tested
them but there are too many combinations of platform, compiler,
languages, output formats, install types and so on to test all of them.
Best regards,
Andre
