About

This repository simply has a .travis.yml to build and release Pentadactyl xpis for firefox.

Since Pentadactyl no longer releases binaries or nightlies on it's official website, every firefox update breaks the compatibility with the existing plugin. This is simply because of a "maxVersion" incomatability in the install.rdf file.

The way most people who use pentadactyl now do one of the following:

1. Delay updating Firefox (ciritical updates are missed out)
2. Manually download the source, make required changes and build+install
3. Migrate to something else (Vimperator maybe?)

This repo mitigates the need for this by:

1. Pulling the latest source
2. Applying a hacky maxVersion Patch on the fly to the appropriate file (you were going to do this anyway -.-')
3. Building the xpi and making it available for download under the /releases section.

You should ideally be able to simply download the xpi and install it.

Please feel free to raise issues, add feature requests. Feedback always welcome.
