Add updating addons-sdk submodule to Ant buildscript #112

Open whimboo opened 12 years ago

whimboo commented 12 years ago

Right now users of the extension who want to build or test the xpi will have to keep track on their own of the used add-on sdk submodule. Whenever we change its used tag a manual 'git submodule update' is necessary.

We could make it transparent by adding another task to the build, run, and test targets which first updates the addons-sdk submodule.

What if you want to test a new version of the addon sdk?

whimboo commented 12 years ago

Therefore you would have to switch the tag via 'git checkout %version%'. Users will pull this with on of our pushes.

davehunt commented 12 years ago

I'm just checking that adding git submodule update won't override this local change and make testing new tags difficult.

whimboo commented 12 years ago

The used tag/branch for addon-sdk is bound to the subfolder hash, and it will only change with a git checkout. So whatever you do with submodule it will not be affected.

This would be invalid as #203 got fixed.
