Hi all,
Via some "remote debugging" I found out the reason for
<https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50603> "Unable to update
LibreOffice without resetting user profile" is that an soffice
restarting itself on Mac OS X (when it finds out that the per-user
information about shared/bundled extensions is not in sync upon startup;
or after a crash) has file descriptors from the old instance still open.
<http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=d5e9c2e3e85a2bcdd6a0b2088253fc133e52e831>
"fdo#50603: Close fds across a restart of soffice on Mac OS X" fixes
that on master, and I already backported it to libreoffice-3-6.
Please review that patch and consider it for backporting to
libreoffice-3-5 and libreoffice-3-5-5. (According to Michal: "I just
created a new network test-user, installed LO 3.5.3 + sk lang-pack, ran
it, created a document. All fine (as it was before). Deleted LO 3.5.3,
installed 3.5.4 + sk lang-pack + your libuno_sal.dylib.3 [containing the
patch]. Started LO, created a new document, played with it for some
while, no crash at all (Yay!).")
Thanks,
Stephan
