It can be used like this (only --with, no --buildsystem is needed): https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-mozext/tree-style-tab.git/commit/?h=pu/webext Extensions are installed into /usr/share/webext then symlinked into relevant application directories. It reads manifest.json to determine which apps are supported, as described in [3][4]. Chromium support is currently detected using "minimum_chrome_version", if your extension doesn't have this then you need to echo "chromium" > debian/install-webext. It will write ${webext:Enhances} and ${webext:Provides} but not yet Depends/Recommends/Breaks. More "fancy" stuff like auto-dropping configs in /etc (as what install-xpi does) are not yet supported.

This is not yet supported, one would have to write a custom debian/rules file for that. But the current functionality should already be enough to support [2], keeping its existing layout. >> [1]: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/Install_Manifests >> [2]: https://github.com/snoack/mypass/tree/master/debian > override_dh_webext: dh_webext extension/ Please let me know how this fits with your plans, and if there are no objections I'll do an upload to Debian unstable so packages can start using it.
