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.
Approach to the Problem
- Target: Current Fedora releases (right now that's
Approach to packaging:
- Pull from a standard URL (as of now http://nightly.mozilla.org/) (armenzg-TODO: get fixed URL to latest)
- Package that binary nightly/beta as an RPM
- Add to a repository and regenerate/update metadata
Approach to repo access:
- Make a repo "release" RPM that provides .repo file and public key
Approach to SELinux:
- Modify the RPM packaging to setup SELinux appropriately
- File labels and policy need to be managed in the RPM package
Installation locations:
- Must not conflict with distro-provided install locations
- Should be in the standard path
- Should start up with a --profile-manager
- Should appear in the graphical menus, with a different name than the stable release
- Make appear on the GUI menus - Minefield (Firefox nightly) - Firefox (Developer Preview)
Deployment
- Deploy on HW in CDOT initially (which machine?)
- Deliver scripts to Armen for deployment on Mozilla infra
Release Targets
- 0.1 - Proof of concept
- 0.2 - Cleaned-up release
- 0.3 - Scripts delivered to Armen
Division of Labour
- SPEC file - Tarinur is Taking this responsibility.
- Repo - Vitaly
- SELinux - Brett
- Desktop integration and testing - Tarinur
