I put together a script that figures out my extension version, checks
the update.rdf file at mozdev.org, compares the versions, downloads the
new XPI if there is one and asks the user if he wants to install the new
extension from his own temporary directory on his machine (so it starts
the download manager with the extension's url originating from the local
host.)
This means that I can force the user to upgrade from the site I want
instead of the mozilla.org site.
Now I am thinking about sending this new upgrade to be approved at
mozilla.org, this way I can get upgrades to the users faster.
Any thoughts on this?
This actually scares the hell out of me.
There is a good reason why we limit extensions to update from
https://umo, and that you hack side paths to that code is something that
I would consider a reason to pull the extension from umo.
Please get that algorithm whitecarded by beltzner, who's heading umo
these days.
