Re: Portable version (Re: OLE: VBS "Automation_Bridge" to ooRexx

[Matthias Seidel]

Hello Rony,

I almost forgot to answer...

This is great work (although I only understand a bit of it).

Could this also work with Object REXX from OS/2 [1]?

Regards,

Updating extensions

[Matthias Seidel]

Hi all,

I know we had a discussion somewhere about the frequency of extension
updates, but I am unable to find it right now...

Normally, the update feed should be adjusted as soon as an extension
gets a newer version.

But the English dictionary is updated every month, so I think we should
reduce the update messages here.
I would suggest to start the update feed for the English dictionary
again for the September release and then to do it on a (roughly) 3 month
base.

How do others feel about it?

BTW: Do we have an update feed for other dictionaries (e.g. Danish,
Ukrainian)?

Regards,

   Matthias

Thank you and Dave for testing.

I've gone ahead and:

- Implemented the same solution (i.e., mail is relayed through my SMTP 
server) on the Templates site; so the Templates site will now work too


- Opened 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/INFRA/issues/INFRA-23610 to ask 
INFRA how we can use an ASF-owned resource instead of my server

That would be the ideal situation if it was operating automatically :)

There is no need to reduce :)
Updating is manual so we can decide what period is reasonable.

+1
3 months sounds like a reasonable interval

AFAIK if the users install any dictionary with a proper update link, they will 
be notified of a new version when the update feed is updated.

That's what I meant by reducing (the manual work). ;-)

I am not sure if an update feed for Danish exists, since the dictionary
was set up new at some point. [1]

Can you have a look, please?

It is working correctly.
I installed the 2020 version and was notified of the 2021 version. The 2022 
version is posterior to the last update feed (because 4.1.13 was released 
meanwhile)

Pedro
