Provide packaging

[bdaase]

Even though the installation instructions are quite simple, for the ease of use and more publicity, it would be nice if packaging for different distributions could be provided. I would be especially interested in a Fedora package/Copr.

Aggreed. I'm not sure about other distributions, as I have never dealt with them, but creating a package for the AUR shouldn't be too difficult. I wouldn't mind doing that at some point.

You could do something similar to what Manjaro community did:

https://gitlab.manjaro.org/Chrysostomus/firefox-gnome-theme-maia
https://gitlab.manjaro.org/packages/community/themes/firefox-gnome-theme-maia

But doesn't seems very practical IMO. Creating packages for something that get installed on an app user data folder is complicated.

Is it possible for it be set up as a Flatpak add-on for the Firefox Flatpak on Flathub? I've seen a few other apps with add-ons available, for example the Gimp Flatpak has a bunch of third-party plugins as installable add-ons.

Not really, the main problem is that Firefox's customChrome.css is a per profile feature, so you can't set a generic Flatpak extensions endpoint.

Have you considered submitting the theme directly to the firefox themes/addons database?
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/developers/
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/developers/addon/submit/distribution

This would have the benefit of automatically deal with updates, and would be a real improvement from the user side.

@azmeuk Currently there's no way with extensions to inject custom CSS the way userChrome.css does.

There's only this thing that can be explored in the future, see #353.
