Hi,

I am considering packaging a Mozilla extension, but I thought it best to try to clarify some things beforehand. The only guidance (draft) I found[1] doesn't seem to be followed by existing packages, but I agree with it in principle. Until there are official guidelines, I have two questions:

Is it acceptable to follow the draft guidelines, or should new packages attempt to conform to the existing packages' (not quite consistent) structure?

Is it appropriate to support any/all applications listed in the install.rdf, even if they are not available in Fedora? (I don't see a downside to this if the draft guidelines are followed, and it would allow locally managed applications to take advantage of extensions installed from RPMs.)

Thanks for any suggestions.

David
