Creating OXT files #3

Closed KlausBlum closed 7 years ago

KlausBlum commented 7 years ago

Apparently, renaming the automatically created ZIP file to OXT does not create a working installatin file for the extension. Using an existing OXT to ZIP, replacing files with their updated versions, renaming back zu OXT should work.

With automatically, you mean what github offers for download? We should find out why. The file produced with make produces a working installation here. Perhaps some files are not allowed in the oxt file?

Yes, I meant the ZIP file github offers for download. I think I got it now: Inside the ZIP, there is an additional subfolder which contains everything that should be in the root directory. Packing the contents of the subfolder into a ZIP and renaming to OXT works fine. Thus, no illegal ingredients, but there will always be the need of some manual work.

I hoped that would be the benefit of moving everything to the main directory. Since that obviously does not work, I have no objections against reintroducing the development folder (or perhaps called "extension" which contains all files to put into the oxt file. Then you have it easier also without make.
