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.services.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 diretory 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.
