Hi all,
Actually I have been developing an application which can create and
pack themes. I dont want to use chrome for packing it. So if anyone
knows the algorithm or how is it done, please let me know,. It will be
very helpful.
Also if this is not the right place to ask this, pls let me know which
is the right place.
Thanks in Advance

And btw fyi, I got this link
http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome/trunk/src/chrome/tools/extensions/chromium_extension.py?revision=14872&content-type=text/plain&pathrev=14872
But i think its outdated., as the themes packed by this script shows
bad version error while installing theme! :(

This is kind of hidden, but it officially exists.
Extension Documentation-->Hosting-->Packaging-->CRX Package Format.
Besides the specifications for the format, there is a Bash script that will create it and a link to a Ruby script that will create it.
Enjoy. :)

Or we should make it from google chrome atleast once?

The PEM file is the private key file. It makes your extension unique, so others could not steal its ID and hack it somehow (and for automatic update purposes and as a general unique identifier).
If you plan to create the same extension all of the time, you can use the PEM file that Google Chrome created, yes.
If you plan to create multiple extensions, you will have to generate the PEM file for every one of them separately, by yourself, or using Google Chrome\Chromium.

My application is for creating themes only. all the time it will
create themes. But from different computers. So can I use one
single .pem file for all the themes i will be creating from my
application. one pem file is ok if I am creating the themes from
different computers?
and one more thing, Can i create this PEM file without using google
chrome and use it for packing chrome theme?

1. The PEM file is per extension\theme, you cannot use the same PEM file for multiple themes\extensions.
2. The scripts on that page are creating the PEM file as well, as far as I know.☆PhistucK
