I would now like to change the build system, especially the solenv/bin/make_installer.pl script and its modules, so that the installation sets it creates can be used without further changes to create patch sets. I would also like to add the patch creation itself.
This is another feature that users have asked for several years, great to see progress here!
More details about the creation of installation sets and patches can be found in the Wiki [2].
A question I have is what happens to the versionrc file (or equivalent on Windows). It contains hard-coded (but customizable at the system level) defaults for, e.g., the update URL. Will applying the patch overwrite it too?
On one hand, leaving it as it is would create problems since OpenOffice would continue to behave as the old version when looking for updates. On the other hand, overwriting it would destroy user customizations; but this is probably what we are already doing now for full installation sets.
