Request: Provide XPI files for new releases #288

Open RibShark opened 1 year ago

RibShark commented 1 year ago

Given how many new versions of this are being released currently, and how slow the Firefox add-ons repo can be at approving new extensions, it would be great if you could release a self-distributed XPI file for new releases so people can update quickly without having to resort to using the less user-friendly userscript version.

hi rib

Yes, please supply the XPI as FF extension repo is still only offering 3.4.1.

The problem with this is:

  1. version numbers need to be unique across [listed and unlisted versions]
  2. Firefox doesn't support using any kind of -pre or -beta prefix in version numbers for the unlisted version which could then be superseded by the listed version

We've asked @mozamo how version numbers work - if they work out the way we want, we might be able to support creating unlisted versions of each release.

If not, we don't want to complicate our release process further or need to have have weird multi-version number bumps for all 220,000+ users just to support whatever % of the ~35,000 Firefox users would make use of this build.
