This shell script will create a build of a firefox extension in linux. This is created according to my details(eg, the guid has @binnyva.com in it) – but you can modify it and use it yourself.
app=1
folder=2
if [ $# -eq 0 ] ; then
echo "Useage: sh build.sh []"
elif [ # -eq 1 ] ; then
folder="1@binnyva.com/"
fi
rm app.xpi
cp -rfolder temp
cd temp
rm -rf .git
zip -r app.xpi .>/dev/null
mvapp.xpi ..
cd ..
rm -rf temp
echo "Built $app successfully"
