Release builds of Extensions (Draft)

The release of OpenOffice.org extensions is done independently from the OpenOffice.org Release Schedule.

Requirements

  • To keep the build time of the OpenOffice.org core product small, extensions - if not bundled with the Core product - should not be in the regular workspace of the OpenOffice.org build.
  • To keep the release schedule of the extensions independent from the OpenOffice.org release schedule, extensions should not be part of the regular workspace of the OpenOffice.org build.
  • For every release of OpenOffice.org there will be an environment ( sdk + solver ) to get the extension built. For the development of C++ extensions there will be an WindowsIntel, MacOSXIntel, Solarisx86 and SolarisSparc, Linuxx86 environment (other environments to be added soon).
  • For every new release of OpenOffice.org all existing extensions will get recompiled (and tested ?). A new extension will be build on the latest available OOo release even if a lower baseline can be used.
