[Fedora-packaging] Mozilla Extension Guidelines

[David Michael]

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
