+The extension build in this test uses an update information which is obtained
+through a http get request. That is the URL does not reference an update
+information file. Instead it invokes code on a webserver which returns the
+update information. The URL used in this example is:
+
+http://update.services.openoffice.org/ProductUpdateService/check.Update?product=extension&extensionid=org.openoffice.extensions.testarea.desktop.updateinfo&refresh=true
+
+The updateinfo.oxt in this directory has the version 1.0 and in the sub-directory "update is the version 2 of this extension. Version 1.0 is also available here
+/extensions/www/testarea/desktop/updateinfocreation/updateinfo.oxt
+and version 2.0 here
+/extensions/www/testarea/desktop/updateinfocreation/update/updateinfo.oxt
+
+Therefore they can be accessed through
+
+http://extensions.openoffice.org/testarea/desktop/updateinfocreation/updateinfo.oxt
+and
+http://extensions.openoffice.org/testarea/desktop/updateinfocreation/update/updateinfo.oxt
+
+The latter location (version 2.0) will also be referenced by the update information
+which are returned by the webserver.
+
+The build sub-directory contains the code of the extension (version 2.0) and can
+be build by calling dmake in this directory. The makefile uses the special macros:
+
+EXTUPDATEINFO_NAME=org.openoffice.extensions.testarea.desktop.updateinfo.update.xml
+EXTUPDATEINFO_SOURCE=description.xml
+EXTUPDATEINFO_URLS = http://extensions.openoffice.org/testarea/desktop/updateinfocreation/update/updateinfo.oxt
+
+This causes the generation of the update information file. This file could be
+directly references by the URL in the <update-information> of the description.xml.
+See also the Wiki entry at:
+http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Creating_update_information_for_extensions
+This generated update information file can then be used by the webserver, when it
+sends back the requested update information. The update information file will be
+generated in the misc directory of the output directory.
+
+The update information file needs to be copied into common.pro/pus.mxyz directory.
+The project mwsfinish will process the files in the pus directory.
