### Self-distribution pipeline

## Cutting a release
35
+
36
+
Mozilla requires every signed upload to have a unique version number, so the
37
+
first step is always bumping the version.
38
+
39
+
**1. Bump the version in `extension/manifest.json`:**
40
+
41
+
```json
42
+
"version": "0.1.7"
43
+
```
44
+
45
+
**2. Commit and push to `main`:**
46
+
47
+
```sh
48
+
git add extension/manifest.json
49
+
git commit -m "Bump version to 0.1.7"
50
+
git push
51
+
```
52
+
53
+
**3. Trigger the `package-extension` workflow:**
54
+
55
+
Via the GitHub UI (`Actions` → **package-extension** → **Run workflow**), or
56
+
with the `gh` CLI:
57
+
58
+
```sh
59
+
gh workflow run package-extension.yml --repo antonmry/atproto_firefox_plugin
60
+
```
61
+
62
+
**4. Monitor the run:**
35
63
36
-
This repository includes `.github/workflows/package-extension.yml` which builds
37
-
(and optionally signs) the add-on using
38
-
[`web-ext`](https://extensionworkshop.com/documentation/develop/web-ext-command-reference/).
64
+
```sh
65
+
gh run list --workflow=package-extension.yml --repo antonmry/atproto_firefox_plugin
66
+
gh run watch --repo antonmry/atproto_firefox_plugin
67
+
```

-
1. Configure `AMO_JWT_ISSUER` and `AMO_JWT_SECRET` repository secrets with your
41
-
AMO API credentials if you want automatic signing. Without the secrets, the
42
-
workflow still produces an unsigned ZIP you can download.
43
-
2. Trigger the workflow manually (`Actions` → **package-extension** →
44
-
**Run workflow**).
45
-
3. Download the artifacts:
46
-
- `frontpage-extension-unsigned` contains the ZIP that `web-ext build`
47
-
generates.
48
-
- `frontpage-extension-signed` (only when secrets are present) contains the
49
-
signed `.xpi` from AMO for self-hosting.
50
-
4. Each run also publishes a GitHub Release (tagged `v<version>-<run-id>`) that
51
-
ships the same ZIP/XPI assets, so you can share a permanent download link.
52
-
- Mozilla requires every signed upload to have a unique version number. Bump
53
-
`version` in `extension/manifest.json` before rerunning the workflow if you
54
-
need a new signed package.
69
+
**5. Check the resulting release:**
55

-
These artifacts can be hosted directly for self-distribution as described in the
71
+
```sh
72
+
gh release list --repo antonmry/atproto_firefox_plugin
73
+
gh release view --repo antonmry/atproto_firefox_plugin
74
+
```
75
+
76
+
The workflow publishes a GitHub Release tagged `v<version>-<run-id>` with the
77
+
signed `.xpi` (when `AMO_JWT_ISSUER` and `AMO_JWT_SECRET` secrets are set) and
78
+
an unsigned `.zip`. These artifacts can be hosted directly for self-distribution
79
+
as described in the
57
80
[Mozilla documentation](https://extensionworkshop.com/documentation/publish/self-distribution/).
