The bad news:
- The error
"http://download.translate.org.za/spellchecker/dict-en_ZA-latest.update.xml

does not exist." is still present ->  looks not very professional.

That URL is an external one, not one that we control. Do you know
what the behavior is in OOo 3.3 when checking for an update of that
extension?

No, I have no idea what OOo 3.3 will do. But I think it would behave the
same.
But I'm sure we wouldn't have bundled it.


yes it should it be the same problem in OOo3.3. I would propose that we
don't bundle extensions that will include an external update Url or
something like that.

We should bundle extension only that will be supported and completely
handled by our extension repo.

ah - ok, that sounds reasonable at it's face. Now if an extension is
published at the AOO ext. repository and it's implemented in a scripted
language (basic, js, python, etc) the oxt (extension body) is the source
code, so that makes easy sense.

Removed the extension from main/extensions.lst in revision is 1324590.

What if the extension is in java or c++ or some other language where an
external source repository is used, however the extension runtime and
support vector are both through the AOO ext. repository - I would assume
given a suitable license on the source that it would be, eligible, for
consideration.

Anyway - I'm putting forth a question that doesn't need to be answered
today, just thinking out loud I suppose.

If no update Url is given in the extension and the extension is
distributed via the ext repo the update info Was (and hopefully is, will
be) generated on demand.
