Hi all, Earlier, Fabrice sent out a nice how-to guide for migrating your add-ons to the new format [1]. Now I would like to tell you how to put these new add-ons on the Hackerplace.
First, you will obviously need to update your code as specified in the guide. I recommend hosting both the new add-on format and the old one in the same repo on github pages. This means you will have two packages (zip files) hosted there simultaneously. Here is a commit I did for my add-on that does the trick [2]. Then you will need to submit the new package to the Hackerplace. For the old Hackerplace, you would put your add-on on the list in apps.json [3]. Now, you simply add the new add-on to apps-v2.json [4], but specify the update.manifest in the manifestURL field. That's it! Let me know if you have any questions.
