[UPDATE SERVICE] proposal to activate the update service for OOo
3.2 and OOo 3.2.1
Hi,
I am sorry - again some stuff regarding our update service.
As it has been pointed out in [1] there are some more OOo versions out there for
which we can activate the update service.
Thus, I am proposing to activate the update service for installed OOo 3.2 and
OOo 3.2.1 instances for which we have an AOO 3.4 installation package.
These would be OOo 3.2/3.2.1 versions of the following languages on Windows,
MacOS X, Linux 32bit and Linux 64bit:
- English (US)
- Arabic
- Chinese (simplified)
- Chinese (traditional)
- Czech
- Dutch
- French
- Galician
- German
- Hungarian
- Italian
- Japanese
- Portuguese (Brazilian)
- Russian
- Spanish
If nobody objects, I will work on the following tasks to make this happen:
(A) get in contact with Apache infrastructure in order to get the following
Update URLs of OOo 3.2.1 and OOo 3.2 redirected:
-- http://update35.services.openoffice.org/ProductUpdateService/check.Update
-- http://update34.services.openoffice.org/ProductUpdateService/check.Update
These are the Update URL of OOo 3.2.1 resp. OOo 3.2
(B) creation of corresponding XML documents at the following URLs:
-- http://www.openoffice.org/projects/update35/ProductUpdateService/check.Update
-- http://www.openoffice.org/projects/update34/ProductUpdateService/check.Update
The content of these XML documents will be more or less the same as for our OOo
3.3 update service, found at [2], but will contain download URLs with
corresponding URL parameters in order to identify the OOo version which is using
the update function.

Hi Oliver,
We are ready to serve those downloads as well, please let me know when it's live.

The changes to user profile will be less invasive in 3.4.1. Actually,
the only issue is the size reduction to avoid 160 MBytes of data written
to every user profile. I don't know the exact details on how this was
implemented, but it shouldn't be a huge change with respect to the 3.3
-> 3.4 ones.

Removing BerkeleyDB (while technically a good thing) is almost surely
the origin of this issue. Initially, it was assumed that all 3.3
settings and extensions would be dropped when updating to 3.4. Later, a
migration procedure was implemented, but it has shortcomings. I haven't
been able to distinguish a precise pattern so far, but there is a clear
trend suggesting that the more customizations/extensions a user applied
to 3.3, the more likely he will bump into an upgrade issue.
Unfortunately, the resulting problems can vary: some users report random
crashes, some see non-working dictionaries... But so far all of them
could solve the problem by renaming their user profile.

Andrea.

Do we know if this is only a 3.3 -> 3.4 issue? Or will there also be
migration issues for 3.4 to 3.4.1?
Ideally we will have some more detailed testing of the upgrade scenarios.
Do we have any steps that can reproduce the bug? Something more
specific than "many extensions or heavy customizations"? Do we think
it is the volume of customizations in a given install? Or is there a
specific setting causing the problem? Or could this be related to the
removal of berkelydb and this fix:

I asked on the mailing lists in Italian; several users upgraded
3.2.x->3.4, with the same experience as the 3.3 -> 3.4 upgrade (no
issues for a slightly customized installation, profile conversion
problems if many extensions are installed or heavy customizations are
present).
Of course, advanced users who can customize OpenOffice significantly are
also more likely to be able to deal with a corrupt profile; so, while it
is clear (see links sent yesterday by Ariel) that the profile conversion
fails in some cases, users who see it fail can probably handle it. But I
would consider adding a remark to the 3.4.1 release notes on how to
reset registrymodifications.xcu or the full profile.

Andrea.

It seems that deleting the rm.xcu file removes more than I first thought. For example a custom color palette (I usually overwrite the standard.soc by a custom one, with the same name) is reset to standard one. Rather odd.
Indeed, you keep the toolbars and keyboard customization but you lose the macros: they are still in the basic folder but they are not referenced anymore in the rm.xcu so you don't see them!
So in the end, I'm not sure that removing only the rm.xcu is a true good idea. It may leave bits of old files that could cause troubles later.
Following my other topic about frequent crashes, I made some tests and noticed that removing the rm.xcu prevents the crashes (where they used to occur, but I've not checked if they would be back if I had continued with this new rm.xcu file).
So rm.xcu may be the key point but it could be a problem with the way it is linked to the content of the profile (a broken reference to a file for example).
In the past, there were several configuration files (history, main, ...). They have been merged into a single rm.xcu file. Less easy now to identify what is the part that is the culprit.
I fear that uploading just the rm.xcu file would not be enough, especially if the problem is with a link with another part of the profile.

Hi, Hagar,
Is it really necessary to delete the whole User folder, or is it enough
to delete the registrymodifications.xcu file in that folder? AFAIK, the
user will lose only the "recent documents" entries for the item on the
File menu, but other settings may vanish, too. The keyboard, toolbar,
and autotext/autocorrect settings should be preserved.
If deleting rm.xcu fixes the users' problems, we really should be asking
them to attach a copy of the old one to a BZ issue, so somebody can see
what's going wrong.

I'd like to remind everybody that renaming the rm.xcu can lead to the loss of macros and other customization (color palette for example). So backing up the whole profile is the first and safest step in case of problem during upgrade.
Doing it before the upgrade insures that the downgrade (if needed) will be possible. It may not be the case if the new version wrecks some items.

There is obviously a bug with the registrymodifications.xcu that
should be fixed somehow.

I'm rather confident it will work.
But the problem is with the user profile. Since AOO 3.4, we have many topics in the forums where the fix is to reset the profile. The problem is that it can lead to frustration because of the loss of customization.
Worse, when users want to downgrade, the new profile is sometimes no more compatible and definitively wrecked for them.
Could something be added during install to make a copy of the user profile (at least silently)?
But on the other hand, I doubt we will ever have a robust solution for such upgrades. So in the end, the users may have no choice and redo all the customization in case of upgrade.
But if so, the user should be at least warned. Not that easy, I agree.

I am in contact with ASF infra - JIRA-5011 [1] and IRC chat - to get the
redirects working.
After the redirects have been established I will announce here, when I will
finish step (B).
Do you have any date and time in mind?

Agree, that's why I reported no issue with upgrading from OOo 3.2 to AOO
3.4.

The update service for OOo 3.2.1 and OOo 3.2 is active.
It is active for all languages and platform combinations for which we have an
AOO 3.4 installation package.

P.S.:
Remark, for me it looks like that the user experience of upgrading from an
installed OOo 3.2/OOo 3.2.1 to AOO 3.4 does not differ from the user experience
when upgrading from OOo 3.3 to AOO 3.4. Some drawbacks were reported, but it
does not look like to me that upgrading from OOo 3.2/OOo 3.2.1 has different ones.

Hi Oliver,
Would it be possible to also include 3.1.0 in the update notifications?
I mention this because that is what openoffice.us.com is installing,
and they probably get a good number of hits, due to their search
engine advertisements. (The are #1 when searching for 'OpenOffice' on
Bing.) We don't need to agree with their methods, but I think we
should try to help the users. If they are installing this ancient
code they are susceptible to all sorts of security issues.
As far as I can tell they are offering only Windows en-US downloads.
I just installed on a VM and the About box says it is OOO310m11
(Build:9399).
I tried installing AOO 3.4 on top of the 3.1.0 install and it worked
fine. The only odd thing I saw was that it left an empty
"OpenOffice.org 3.1" folder in the Start menu. I think that is
cleaned up when upgrading 3.3 ==> 3.4. But otherwise everything
worked fine.
We might need to maintain these update notifications from release to
release, so long as some of these exploitation sites continue to push
old versions onto users.
