Release Guide for Firefox

How to release a new version of the Firefox extension.

1. Ensure your git repository is clean and you have the latest code.

    $ git reset --hard HEAD
    $ git pull
   

2. Checkout the tag of the version you want to release. Ignore the warnings about being in a 'detached head' state.

    $ git tag -l
    ff-v1.0.5
    ff-v1.0.6
   
    $ git checkout -t ff-v1.0.6
   

3. Update the index files so the new release includes up to date indexes.

    $ cd firefox/indexes
    $ wget -O - http://frog23.net/greasefire/update.php | tar zxvf -
   

4. Go up one level to the 'firefox' directory and build the XPI.

    $ cd ..
    $ ./makexpi.sh
   

5. Rename the resulting XPI to something that matches the new version.

    $ mv greasefire.xpi greasefire-1.0.6.xpi
   

6. Test it!
