Provides more depth than the Project Description* Target: Current supported Fedora releases (Fedora 13 and Fedora 14) Approach to packaging:# Pull from a standard URL (as of now http://nightly. This is the place for technical discussions, project specs, or other detailsmozilla. If this gets very long, you might consider breaking this part into multiple pages org/)# Package that binary nightly/beta as an RPM# Add to a repository and linking regenerate/update metadata Approach to themrepo 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 ==

==== Brett van Gennip - Testing Minefield with SELinux and Fedora 13 ====
* 0Brett had downloaded Minefield and attempted to replicate the error message that was coming up for people. Overall, he had no success making the error message show up which proved to be a bit of an issue to how he can understand the issue. Certain things came up such as: while running firefox, Minefield would not open. While running Minefield, firefox would not open. At no point was he able to run both at the same time. Overall, he plans to speak with people on IRC to try to make some sense of these issues.3
Manual creation of the SPEC file with the BETA Version to create a functional RPMAfter tested and satisfied with the results TEST with NIGHTLY Packages Manual creation of the SPEC file with the NIGHTLY Version to create a functional RPMPlease see blog for more details:

==== Tarin -> Automation of the creation of the SPEC File RPM Building and Repository Setup ====
Tarin had setup the Repository and made it so that you are able to download the nightly via iraq.proximity.on.ca repository. He has also packaged the nightlies in an RPM format. Which means that he has created a SPEC file for the RPM to work with Fedora 1x machines in both 32 bit and 64 bit architectures. Our repository is located at [http://iraq.proximity.on.ca/ffrepo/ Nightly Repository].

He had proceeded in creating a script that will automate the latest Firefox pre-releases, including process of setting up the nightly builds and beta releases.
