Add-on SDK
Release (1.10 -> Firefox 16, 17)
Stabilization (1.11 -> Firefox 17, 18)
Development (1.12 -> Firefox 18, 19)
The core goals is to preserve current development ergonomics and maybe share those with other teams::
- The canonical SDK repository remains on github.
- Code can be contributed via pull requests or patches in bugzilla.
- Changes to SDK modules should not require Firefox builds.
- Weekly drops from the current github integration branch will be dropped into an HG branch, validated, then merged into m-c
- SDK test suite will be integrated into the Mozlla test suite and run on each commit
