NAME
install-xpi - installs a xpi file into a Debian package
SYNOPSIS
install-xpi [options] xpi-file
DESCRIPTION
install-xpi is a helper tool for packaging XUL extensions. It installs
the given xpi file into the correct directory and creates the required
links based on the data in the install.rdf file. It corrects the file
permissions unless --preserve-permissions is specified.
install-xpi will create a configuration file in /etc if the XUL
extension provides one or more preferences files in
defaults/preferences. The configuration file contains only a
description where to find the overridable preferences.
debian/package.js is used as configuration file instead if it exists.
The placeholder @INSTALLDIR@ is replaces by the actual installation
directory. You can disable the creation of a system configuration file
with --disable-system-prefs.
