  No manifest:version attribute in manifest:manifest element
  Last modified: 2011-01-24 14:20:56 UTC
  Files from OpenOffice.org Writer fail the validation at the OpenOffice
  validation site allegedly because the manifest:manifest (root) tag in the
  META-INF/manifest.xml file lacks a version attribute.
  upload:///Test from Win 7.odt/META-INF/manifest.xml[2,88]:Error:element
  "manifest:manifest" is missing "version" attribute
  upload:///Test from Win 7.odt/META-INF/manifest.xml[5,85]:Error:element
  "manifest:file-entry" is missing "media-type" attribute
  upload:///Test from Win 7.odt:Info:validation errors found
  upload:///Test from Win 7.odt:Info:Generator: OpenOffice.org/3.3$Win32
  OpenOffice.org_project/330m15$Build-9546
  There's no requirement that I can find that manifest:manifest takes ANY
  attribute other than the namespace declaration.
  Created attachment 75141 [details]
  Fails validation in META-INF/manifest.xml
  reassigned
  Set target to 3.4, and re-assigned issue.
  I can confirm the issue, in the attached document with the latest version of the
  online validator
  The version attribute is missing in the root element of the manifest.xml.
  Instead the missing mimetype attribute is a problem of the validator.
  It can also reproduced by the latest online available OOo version
  OOo-dev/3.4$Win32 OpenOffice.org_project/300m94$Build-9547
  and
  OpenOffice.org/3.3$Win32 OpenOffice.org_project/330m15$Build-9546
  By saving any document, for instance an empty text document.
  Respectfully, in the normal course of affairs when might this problem be resolved?
  (I'm an advocate for the OpenDocument Text format, choosing to distribute ODT
  files of biblical text at my site <tanach.us>. In promoting this new feature
  and ODT I've claimed that my files validate with your validator. And they did a
  few weeks ago. Now they don't, a source of consternation and embarrassment.)
  fixed in cws fwk162
  Today, 6 dec 2010, fails to
  validate the trival OpenWriter file test.odt attached. Same error results.
  Are the repairs to "cws fwk162" for the validator or OpenOffice Writer? When
  will they take effect for the site users?
  Thanks,
  Chris Kimball
  The changes in cws fwk162 fix the bug in package generation in OOo. As the
  target field shows it is going to be integrated in OOo3.4 branch.
  If you would like to test the cws after the integration in the development
  branch you should wait for integration of the cws. Before the cws is integrated
  this bug have to be set to Verified ( that would mean that the cws is already in
  QA ). After the bug is verified you can track the status of the cws using the
  following link:
  The response by sus Mon Nov 29 11:39:22 +0000 2010 indicates the problem is in
  the validator:
  "The version attribute is missing in the root element of the manifest.xml.
  Instead the missing mimetype attribute is a problem of the validator."
  In creating my own manifest files, nothing is accepted by your validator. Would
  you please provide an example of a valid manifest file? Or at least its root
  element.
  The latest ODF1.2 draft explicitly requires that manifest:manifest element
  contains manifest:version attribute. Before this bug was fixed, it had not been
  the case.
  I have no information regarding the validator problem with the media-type that
  sus has mentioned.
  Changing the Summary to avoid further confusions. This bug is only about
  manifest:version attribute in manifest:manifest element. I am not sure how the
  validator issues are handled, but if issuezilla bugs are used for them as well,
  then we need a new issue for validator.
  The ODF validator has, apparently, been repaired. My unchanged files now
  validate. OOWriter 3.3 files don't.
  Thanks,
  Chris
