Mozdev.org has released a number of new features to allow projects to securely install their applications and allow users to find information about projects easier.
Each project has an overview page that prominently displays links to all of a projects tools as well as highlighting each of a project's extensions and their latest releases. Since this page is served from a secure site the extensions linked from this page make use of InstallTrigger to verify that the file is downloaded correctly by comparing the file's hash. Each project's overview page is at a URL with the following format: https://www.mozdev.org/projects/overview/PROJECT/ ex: https://www.mozdev.org/projects/overview/www/ In order to have your extensions linked from this page, you'll need to make use of our new file management tool to mark files as released and verify the hash for the file (documentation [2]): https://www.mozdev.org/profile/file_management.html Mozdev will be linking to the new project overview page from the main www.mozdev.org site in various locations such as the active project list and top 50 page. We hope this new feature brings both project owners and users a new level of comfort knowing the extensions are installed properly and enables users to find project information more quickly. -Doug [1] https://www.mozdev.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=17302 [2] http://www.mozdev.org/drupal/wiki/MozdevDownloadReleases -- Douglas E.
