crxmake 0.0.3

Ubuntu Installation

sudo apt-get install swig sudo pip install crxmake

Usage

# CLI
$ crxmake.py PACKAGE_BASE_DIR

# 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 ^^)
