Common practices
git is used as version control system. If you wish to setup a GIT branch for a new extension on our Alioth's team repository, please consider setting up IRC's CIA hooks as explained here.
mozilla-devscripts is used for packaging
- dh 7 is recommended
dpkg-source 3.0 (quilt) format is recommended and therefore quilt as patch system
a machine-readable debian/copyright is preferred
Packages
Use the following snippet for your sources.list:
deb http://pkg-mozext.alioth.debian.org/packages lenny/i386/ deb http://pkg-mozext.alioth.debian.org/packages lenny/all/ deb-src http://pkg-mozext.alioth.debian.org/packages lenny/source/

To install an extension run
apt-get install <EXTENSION>
