These are some notes from Mossop's Add-ons Management session:

  • Add-on Locale Packs
    • AMO should allow you to add a new localization without requiring a new version and process
    • Testing is an issue, esp. with l10n
    • Allow locale packs to be "auto updates"
    • What are the restrictions for the locale packs?
    • Should we allow locale packs to be downloaded from non-AMO sites?
    • How do we handle updates to add-ons which don't have a locale pack available. (See add-on dependency stuff).
    • Possibly offer fallbacks - not good for chrome systems (DTD can't do it but property files can).
  • Dependency resolution
    • First request - show the dependency
    • Automatic dependency resolution (trying to eliminate multiple restarts)
    • AMO should reflect add-on dependencies
    • AMO sees the dependency at the system level and dynamic generation of AMO (AMO may need to see what is already installed). Client might ignore it.
