buildxulextension.sh

I said a few posts ago that I keep meaning to release some open sourced code. Well, I stumbled upon a script I was using to build my xul-based Firefox extensions, and after a little bit of editing I decided it was just about suitable to be released. It’s very simple, but if you build extensions for Firefox often you’ll know it can take a lot more time for every build then should be necessary. This short bash script solves this.

This has only been tested on my machine at the moment, which runs Ubuntu Linux. I’m confident that most Linux system will be fine as long as you have ‘zip’ installed. If anyone tests this on a Mac please let me know.

If it’s your cup of tea, download buildxulextension.sh.
