Hi Korrawit, all,

Well, we should *partially* revert
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33468
Links to commit are in comment 3 and 4.

Ah - thanks! :slight_smile:

But IMHO we are string-freezed, so this will happen in master (3.6) only, right?

L10n people - please, is it OK for you to bring back the Online update
help this late even for 3.5? Hopefully the text might still be ~easily
restorable from the older translations?

Thank you,
Kendy

AFAIAC, if it is only a restore with minor updates, then it should not be a
problem. It would be much worse to see only English text there, even if
applicable translations already exist somewhere ...

Hi Kendy, all

For pt-BR that will be OK.

I am a bit concerned that we rush for 3.5 and leave this issue unfinished.

I guess LibreOffice will send a ping to a given URL and get a response
that a new version is available. I affirmative, can this URL be placed
in a configuration (XML) file (so that special deployments can handle it)

Also, as far as I remember, OpenOffice had a download interface for the
new version. Are you going to reactivate it? I would also like to let
special deployments to handle the download URL in a XML file.

Thank you

Olivier

So - good news :slight_smile: The text was never removed, only its building, so it
should not affect the translations in any way. Now it is building
again, so the update-related dialogs should have help again.
