crxmake packages chrome extensions as .crx from python
Project description
Python script for building google chrome extension crx package. It is inspired by rubygems’ crxmake.
Ubuntu Installation
sudo apt-get install swig sudo pip install crxmake
Usage
# CLI

# From python
>>> from crxmake import package
>>> package('examples/app', outfile='examples/release1')
Example
An example extension named ‘app’ is provided in the examples/ directory for testing purposes:
$ crxmake.py examples/app
$ ls examples/app
$ app app.crx app.pem
Requires
python 2
swig
M2Crypto (available via pip, requires swig)
“openssl” command: because current M2Crypto lacks func for rsa pubout DER
Legacy Dependencies
Appendix: m2crypto-0.20.2-enable-rsa-pubout.patch
“svn diff” output for appending the feature for rsa pubout DER.
Howto build m2crypto with it:
svn co http://svn.osafoundation.org/m2crypto/tags/0.20.2 m2crypto-0.20.2 cd m2crypto-0.20.2 patch -p0 < ../legacy/m2crypto-0.20.2-enable-rsa-pubout.patch python setup.py build
(I hope someone send it to M2Crypto maintainer ^^)
