update url with atom feed for update notifications

[John D'Orazio <jo...@cappellaniauniroma3.org>]

Can anyone tell me, when a plugin is uploaded and hosted on
http://extensions.openoffice.org, is an update url with relative atom feed
automatically created? Or is it up to the plugin developer to provide the
atom feed on his own server, and point the update url for the plugin to his
own atom feed?

Ok good that's what I needed, so I just don't specify anything then and
they should still get an update notification at some point. Perhaps I'll
make this a little clearer on the wiki somewhere.

If you don't specify one (recommended) it will be automatically 
aggregated to the common feed, which will notify users of available 
updates at set times (twice a month?) to avoid that users are constantly 
asked to update the different plugins.

If you do specify one, your updates are pushed faster but this may be 
more annoying to users and if your site is down all users of your 
extension will see an error message.
