WEP 108 - Addon Sync

• Champions: Anant Narayanan <anant at mozilla dot com>
• Status: Draft
• Created: 07 Sep 2009
• Reference Implementation: None
• WEP Index

Introduction

Weave Sync should support synchronization of Addons. In this WEP, we describe a particular way in which this may be implemented.

Implementation

For our initial prototype, we will simply synchronize a list of Addons as a single WBO. The payload of the WBO will be an array of objects, each object storing the addon guid, version and clients on which it is installed. An example:

[

   {
       "guid": "{340c2bbc-ce74-4362-90b5-7c26312808ef}",
       "version": "0.7pre2",
       "clients": [
           "MyFennec",
           "MyFirefox"
       ] 
   },
   {
       "guid": "jetpack@labs.mozilla.com",
       "version": "0.5pre3",
       "clients": [
           "MyFirefox"
       ] 
   }
