Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 94484
locale information in update data
Last modified: 2013-08-07 15:26:05 UTC
The brand layer version ini-file (program/version.ini resp. program/versionrc) contains information about the locales supported by the given product in the three keys AllLanguages=en-US UpdateID=OpenOffice.org_3_en-US UpdateUserAgent=<PRODUCT> (${buildid}; ${_OS}; ${_ARCH}; BundledLanguages=${AllLanguages}) (example values from DEV300m32 unxlngi6.pro en-US OOo; see trunk/scp2/source/ooo/common_brand.scp@261768 and trunk/solenv/bin/modules/installer/scriptitems.pm@261522). Given that ideally additional locale support can be added to an installed product by adding appropriate (system-native: rpm, etc.) packages (that would not modify values in the product's version ini-file), the way information about supported locales is determined to be communicated in update requests (if it is necessary there at all) should be thought over. In any event, the key AllLanguages appears to be only used in the defintion of UpdateUserAgent (and nowhere else in the DEV300m32 OOo code base), so that key can probably be removed completely from the version ini-file.
Accepted.
