Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 12755
Install does not detect previous version
Last modified: 2003-09-08 16:53:51 UTC
When installing, the previous version of OO is not detected, and all old settings are not read in. They need to be re-entered.
That's not a defect, that's a (missing) feature.
Hi Martin, LHO said that the community should decide if they want to have this update feature (and I would bet they would like to have). After discuss with TZ we think that you should ask whether we will have this or not. If we will do this for OOo DV has to make some changes: The >UpdateFor = "%PRODUCTNAME 6.0";< entry in the setup script has to be modified. We can't write a version number because by now we have four updateable versions: 1.0, 1.0.1., 1.0.2. and 1.0.3.

fixed with m13.
=> wrong status : Changed to 'resolved fixed'
Martin, you have written "fixed with m13." Where can I get such a version? Beta2 doesn't offer an update. The rellated entries in setup.ins(*.inf) are missing.
No testable OOo versions.
mh->is: what entries do we need for this ?
IS -> DV: Can you please take care of this bug?
It's only possible to update an OOo 1.0(.x) Version.

Hi Stefan, detecting a 'previous version' would be only possible for OOo 1.0.x. That's our update feature (SO 6.0 to SO 6.1). We need a 'GO' for having this in OOo. LHO said that he won't decide this for the community. I won't do this either. Who will do this?
We can update earlier official releases (and if no other versions exist earlier version of 1.1). The default is to make a parallel installation, but you have the choice to update. The needed changes in setup.inf are ProductVersion=1.1 for snapshots ProductVersion=1.1.0 for rc, final UpdateFor = 1.0.3, 1.0.2, ...., 1.1 Styles = (KEEP_OLD_VERSION); This means: UpdateFor = "%PRODUCTNAME 1.0.3;%PRODUCTNAME 1.0.2;%PRODUCTNAME 1.0.1;%PRODUCTNAME 1.0;%PRODUCTNAME 1.1"; Styles = (KEEP_OLD_VERSION); Ingo, could you take care of this? Thanks, Stefan

I added in the scp project in the config.scp into the OOo installation object the following two lines: UpdateFor = "%PRODUCTNAME 1.0.3;%PRODUCTNAME 1.0.2;%PRODUCTNAME 1.0.1;%PRODUCTNAME 1.0;%PRODUCTNAME 1.1"; Styles = (KEEP_OLD_VERSION); Furthermore I channged in instsetoo project in the openoffice.lst the PRODUCTVERSION from 1.1 to 1.1.0 Thats it.
By the way, fixed in cws ooo11rc, projects scp and instsetoo.

remove myself from cc
IS -> OF: Please verify this in cws ooo11rc
We have done what could be done in cws ooo11rc.
Verified.
OK in RC.
Hi The upgrade process works great, congratulations ! I was able to upgrade from 1.0.3.1 to 1.1 RC without any clashes. However, there's still a small issue that would need to be addressed : As the upgrade process keeps the old toolbars and menus, we can't see the new functionnalities added in OO at first glance. For example, there are neither "export to PDF" icon nor "export to PDF" menu entry. So an enhancement for this upgrade process would be to always insert the newly added functionnalities in the menus and toolbars of OO. I don't know if this is feasible because it supposes there's a way to distinguish new and old functionalities... Should I create a RFE for this particular problem ?
