Do language packs have update notifications?
In OOo 3.3.0 we support Tamil with a language pack, but not a full
install. In AOO 4.0 we provide a full install for Tamil, as well as a
language pack.
Are we able to notify 3.3.0 users of the Tamil language pack about the
update? Is that something the update notification system can handle?
Or does it only handle updates to the base install?

that would be nice, I am just in the process of splitting the language zip
files to find a version number. The language files are packed as
extensions, and I am just trying to find out how its ensured that they are
only used with the correct release. Maybe oliver or someelse can give a
hint on that too.

OK. This should be OK. If a 3.3.0 user was running base en-US (or
en-GB) with Tamil langpack, then they will get an upgrade notification
based on the new 4.0 English version. But then the locale-detection
logic on /download/index.html will see that their browser locale is
Tamil and recommend the full Tamil install of 4.0. So I think the
most common cases will work fine.
The odd exception would be if their 3.3.0 base was, say, Swedish. In
that case they will not be notified about an upgrade (Swedish is not
in 4.0 yet) even though we do have a fill Tamil version.

As far as I know and have seen in my checks the update function in
AOO/OOo only searches for new updates for the language of the full
installation package.
The language of the full installation package is found in the
version.ini|vesionrc of the installation which is composed together with
the application name and its version into the value of 'UpdateID' - e.g.
UpdateID=OpenOffice_4_en-US for en-US full installation package of AOO 4.0

AFAIR they don't have an update functionality.
