I got lost trying to figure out how the original
bin/update/create_partial_update.py code was meant to obtain old and new
installation trees to diff, so I simplified that down to the create-partial-info
make target now expecting an ONLINEUPDATE_MAR_OLDARCHIVE make variable that
points at the old archive install set. (And the
--with-online-update-mar-serverurl configure option is gone for good again.)
The remaining changes are similar to what was needed in
28bad382fa "Fix `make create-update-info` (for
Windows, at least)". (And the mbsdiff and mar tools expect Windows-style
pathnames, but mktemp returns a Unix-style pathname in cygwin shell scripts, so
this needed an additional Windows-only external/onlineupdate/cygpath.patch.)

Tools and Non-Build Scripts
Tools and scripts mostly not used during the build
This direction has a number of key pieces (?) that are used during the
build, or are simply generally useful. One example is bin/run.
This utility can be used to run the executables in this folder:
workdir/LinkTarget/Executable
Format of the usage is:
./bin/run application [parameters]|--list|--help
Use --list (same as -list or -l) to get the list of executables Use --help (same as -help or -h) to get this help
Another example is:
bin/find-german-comments <directory>
which will try to detect and extract all the German comments in a
given source code hierarchy / directory.
Please note that the associated issue tdf#39468 is now marked as RESOLVED/FIXED, so don't expect many German comments.
