"./setup -net -upgrade:/usr/local/opt/OpenOffice.org" is not what is written in setup guide: It should have been 'update'. And you have to write the complete path to RC1. I don't see what's dangerous in using the sversion file for detecting an updateable OOo version? As long as we have no GUI to point the installation to a previous installed office there is no other way. And normally a user doesn't have more than one version on his computer. After updating RC1 with 1.1.0 final on the server side I've started my ./soffice of the previous workstation installation: The update for the workstation will start. For OOo 1.1.0 we won't change the behaviour. For OOo we will change to native installer, with all possibilities of these tools. Closed. I used -update instead of -upgrade as stated in the setup guide. However I tried to update from RC4 to 1.1 which failed the same way. ./setup -net -update:/usr/local/opt/OpenOffice.org did not work at all. The installation routine still asks me for a path, although the full path is already given. Additionaly it asks me wheather it should replace files of the old installation. This behaviour is completly wrong. At least one gets several message boxes with errors like: No resource: Error message not available Function: 'PatchFontsDir' Line: 79 RC4 can't be updated by 1.1.0 final. These versions are nearly identical. Identic OOo versions can't be updated. Invalid |
