[Project_owners] Mozdev generated secure update.rdf files available (beta)

[Douglas E. Warner]

The secure update feature is ready for POs to use and test.

Full documentation is available in the download release docs [1]

The update.rdf files are generated when a file is released.  POs have the 
option when they release files of adding the updateInfo URL as well (new 
feature for Firefox 3).  For secure updates to work with Firefox 3 you also 
need to make sure you verify the file hash.

To utilize Mozdev's generated update.rdf you will need to modify your 
install.rdf file to point at the new update.rdf URL.  The link can be found 
inside the file management tool as well in each extension's header marked by 
a "[u]".

I'm still looking to create a tool that will allow POs to upload an 
install.rdf and receive a link to the update.rdf for new extensions, but the 
format is fairly simple:

Feel free to direct any questions my way or add them to the bug [2].
