a) Identifiers

In DEV300_m14 we have...

a) com.sun.reportdesigner for the report designer
b) <none> so becomes
org.openoffice.legacy.sun-presentation-minimizer.oxt for the
presentation minimizer

This is changed in cws pppopt05.
(It now contains the arch-identifier, too)

c) com.sun.wiki-publisher for the wiki publisher but then d) com.sun.PresenterScreen-linux_x86 for the Presenter Screen

a) and c) don't need the arch prefix anyway
(Java, and thus arch-indep *cough*)

And you missed:

e) com.sun.star.PDFImport-<...>

They all stay the same regardless of the platform except
for com.sun.PresenterScreen-*, so what was the outcome of the last time
this was discussed, should com.sun.PresenterScreen-linux_x86 just be
com.sun.PresenterScreen (my preference) or should the other arch

Mine too, but I think we "lost" here...

It is my preference, too. The reason for appending the platform specifier was lack of time, not design. The current tools that are used for updating extensions do not yet know about the platform tag that is also available in the description.xml files. There was no time to change these tools, so we had to make the component identifiers unique with respect to platform/architecture.

The tools will (hopefully) be updated in the not too distant future to take care of the platform tags. From then one we can use simple identifiers like com.sun.PresenterScreen.

So, nobody "lost".  Sometimes, we just have to be pragmatic.


dependent extensions get mangled identifier names to encode the arch
into them as well ?

As said, pppopt05 has a arch-suffix for the minimizer, too (which is the
left-over arch-dep extension in your list)

b) Shared installs
r In DEV300_m14 the wiki publisher (alone of the extensions) cannot be
installed --shared. Is this just an oversight (see
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=90055 for patch in that
case) or deliberate ??

I don't think we need to show the LGPL *AT ALL*. Neither to the user nor
to the admin. OOo is LGPL and the user already uses OOo...

c) Checking out OpenOffice.org

What is now the canonical way to check out OpenOffice.org ? is it meant
to be with alias OpenOffice3 ?
i.e.
we have the alias Extensions3 for
"scext sdext swext tomcat apache-commons reportdesign jfreereport"
we have the alias OpenOffice3 which has ...
"sccomp, sdext, reportdesign, reportdesign" in it


So swext and friends do not appear in the OpenOffice3 (or OpenOffice2)
alias, so they don't get checked out, but they are referenced in the
build.lsts. So in practice is seems to be to check out *both*
OpenOffice3 and Extensions3 to get the full tree required to build

Yes, that should be fixed...
Not that I think the Extensions thong makes at all, given that you need
the OOo tree to build those extensions anyway...

Rene
