NAME¶
install-xpi - installs a xpi file into a Debian package
SYNOPSIS¶
install-xpi [
options]
xpi-file
DESCRIPTION¶
install-xpi is a helper tool for packaging XUL extensions. It installs
the given xpi file into the correct directory and creates the required links
based on the data in the install.rdf file. It corrects the file permissions
unless --preserve-permissions is specified.
install-xpi will create a configuration file in /etc if the XUL extension
provides one or more preferences files in defaults/preferences. The
configuration file contains only a description where to find the overridable
preferences. debian/package.js is used as configuration file instead if it
exists. The placeholder @INSTALLDIR@ is replaces by the actual installation
directory. You can disable the creation of a system configuration file with
--disable-system-prefs.
