You shouldn't include update.rdf in the XPI. In install.rdf in the XPI, you should include this element:
<em:updateURL/> whose content is a URL where the update.rdf can be found. For example: <em:updateURL>http://myproject.mozdev.org/update.rdf</em:updateURL> https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Extension_Versioning%2c_Update_and_Compatibility#Update_RDF_Format is an example of the contents of an update.rdf.

In particular, where does the update.rdf file go? It doesn't seem like it would go inside the xpi (e.g. next to install.rdf) because it can contain a hash of the xpi. However, it also seems like it should be included with the xpi so that the user has access to the update info. I guess I don't understand how the whole update process works. Is any of this even necessary if the xpi is hosted on addons.mozilla.org? Thanks, Joe Brochu http://ganttview.mozdev.org/
