Backporting the fix for
<https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51252> "LO cannot start
(reports runtime error with Visual C++ Runtime Library)" to LO 3.6.0
(which causes LO to routinely try to restart itself now after an upgrade
on Windows) unfortunately revealed that the fix
<http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=55836370ffb70a34b888f81cdacdfede8fee29cf>
"fdo#43989: Revert 'win32-dont-attempt-restart.diff: Don't attempt to
restart OOo after crash'" for
<https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43989> "After installation
first launch terminates after splash screen" should have been backported
as well. (And the latter undoes a broken fix that has been corrected on
master with
<http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=b5ad981518f4407243f89507b2561dd0b1ef28ee>
"bnc#524250: Show backing component after cancelled recovery.")
The net effect is that, on Windows, the first start of LO 3.6.0 (both a
completely new installation, as well as after an upgrade from older
versions) silently terminates after the splash screen. The user needs
to start LO anew. While this is unfortunate, it is IMO only a minor
annoyance with a trivial workaround, so does not warrant yet another LO
3.6.0 RC5. (See <https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51252#c58>.)
So, please review for cherry-picking into libreoffice-3-6 the two commits
<http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=b5ad981518f4407243f89507b2561dd0b1ef28ee>
"bnc#524250: Show backing component after cancelled recovery"
and
<http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=55836370ffb70a34b888f81cdacdfede8fee29cf>
"fdo#43989: Revert 'win32-dont-attempt-restart.diff: Don't attempt to
restart OOo after crash'."
Thanks,
Stephan
