Re: [Libreoffice] Extensions manager improvement

Hi Caolán,

I did a pull to check the files you said, but the project structure changed
dramatically. This is a exponential growth :-D

Where is the working tree? I think is bootstrap/clone/, correct?

I'm trying to find desktop/source/deployment/gui in build directory too, but
without success.

Hi Christoph,

I'm a beginner, but thanks for incentive. :-)

Hi all,

If you worked on LibreOffice extension manager someday, let us know how to
do that improvement.


Best Regards,
Júlio.
