Description Jan Holesovsky 2014-02-13 15:10:22 UTC

Currently the 'Install' button in the update dialog is never activated.  It is because we do not provide automatic download of new version.

In order to be able to have this functionality, we need to make sure that the download is safe - that the cannot get a binary from some malicious site instead.

The code needs review & update in case there are dangerous bits there; then we can enable this.

MAB - as discussed at the ESC.

Comment 2 Jan Holesovsky 2014-02-13 15:11:49 UTC

Short term, we should at least update the help:

Fix priority for MABs.

@Jan
is this MAB still reproducible with 4.3.x releases?

CONFIRMED with 4.3.2.2 + Ubuntu 14.04

REPRO:
1) Open LibreOffice
2) Help -> Check for updates.

RESULT:
LO 4.3.4 is offered for download, but the 'Install' button stays grayed-out

Comment 6 Adolfo Jayme 2015-01-17 09:37:14 UTC

Can we consider using Sparkle/WinSparkle instead?
