Speaking of which - I notice that neither us, nor up-stream register
the migrationoo3.uno.so - so the "migrate from 3.x" code is never
executed :-) we only migrate from 2.x - any ideas why that is ?
(Thorsten?). I will push a fix to enable that in scp2 over the weekend -
scream if that will bite ;-) [ it works for me ].

So - I'm hacking this up. Interestingly, it seems to me that; after a
migration - we hit an aspirational code-path:
RTL_LOGFILE_CONTEXT_TRACE( aLog, "FINISHED WITH Destop::Main" );
if ( bRestartRequested )
{
restartOnMac(true);
// wouldn't the solution be more clean if SalMain returns the exit code
to the system?
_exit( ExitHelper::E_NORMAL_RESTART );
}
Not had a chance to dig out quite why that is yet.
I was wondering though - does the Mac stuff work nicely ? or do we end
up in infinite re-starting loops sometimes ? either way the code looks
fairly generic & re-usable for Unix generally, so I'm tempted to add
that - so we would just get a clean re-start after migration (or SEGV).
I (somehow) seem to remember OO.o re-starting itself sometime in the
past when a crash had happened - was that just me ? or was that
removed ?
Also - interestingly; the migration code writes things to the splash
screen as it works - which we should probably vector out to the
unxsplash quick-starter for that case.
ATB,
Michael.
