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. |
