Project Plan
? Goals for each release:
- 0.1
setup any package to be acquired from our repository
- 0.2
Installing the repository VIA an RPM
- 0.3
Manual creation of the SPEC file with the BETA Version to create a functional RPM After tested and satisfied with the results TEST with NIGHTLY Packages
Manual creation of the SPEC file with the NIGHTLY Version to create a functional RPM
- 0.4
-> Automation of the creation of the SPEC File

Project: Repository Setup for Mozilla Nightlies and Betas Many web developers want access to the latest Firefox pre-releases, including the nightly builds and beta releases. Mozilla's build team wants to make these accessible as parallel-installable binaries, released through a Fedora-compatible repository. This project involves setting this up.
Subprojects:
- Build configuration for the RPM files.
- Repository configuration RPMs.
- Getting SELinux to work with the nightlies.
Website --> Firefox Nightlies
point 1 - install repositories -installing a YUM system to grab Point 2 - installation of the Repositories point 3 - create account on bugzilla
2 repositories for x86 and 64-bit --> producting the rpms
Creating spec files for nightlies ...
pull in nightly build and package
automate it using a script from the website
repository setup -> signing it -->
create the rpm for the repo
seperate nightlies and beta?? AND x86 and 64-bit ??
--> Problem --> Getting SELinux to work with the nightlies.

Problem -->
When you download the nightlies you get a set of source code. This is inconvenient and adds another step for people to start testing the nighties and Beta versions of the software.
WE NEED betas to co-exist with the firefox Original working package.
Solution -->
Add a system (RPM and Repository Setup) for streamlined setup for users to test the firefox software Nightlies and Betas.
project plan
what we need to learn -
--> REPOSITORY SETUP - WHAT IS IT ?HOW DO WE SET IT UP --> SPEC FILE CREATION FOR THE NIGHLTLIES --> SELINUX <-- HOW IT WORKS AND HOW WE CAN
resources --
--> EBOOK
--> WIKI
--> PLANETS
--> FIND PEOPLE THAT MAY BE OF HELP OF SELINUX
Milestone 1 -
-> setup any package to be acquired from our repository ->
Milestone 2 - RPM Fusion -- a separate reposit
->installing the repository VIA an RPM ->
Milestone 3 -
-> Manual creation of the SPEC file with the BETA Version to create a functional RPM
-> After tested and satisfied with the results TEST with NIGHTLY Packages
-> Manual creation of the SPEC file with the NIGHTLY Version to create a functional RPM
->
Milestone 4 -
-> Automation of the creation of the SPEC File
Steps needed to take -
-Need to setup 2 repos - x86 and x86_64 of beta and Nightlies -Experimentation with the nightly build and how it works with SELinux
Project sections and Assignments -
Repository Setup --> Vitalijs
SPEC File Building for Nightlies and Beta's For 64bit and x86 Packages -->

Nightly compatibility with SELinux --> Brett , Tarinur
Nightlies are located at Firefox Nightlies
