point 1 * Target: Current supported Fedora releases (Fedora 13 and Fedora 14) Approach to packaging:# Pull from a standard URL (as of now http://nightly.mozilla.org/)# 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 repositorieslocations* Should be in the standard path * Should start up with a -installing -profile-manager* Should appear in the graphical menus, with a YUM system to grab different name than the stable releasePoint 2 * Make appear on the GUI menus - installation of the RepositoriesMinefield (Firefox nightly) - Firefox (Developer Preview) == Deployment == * Deploy on HW in CDOT initially (Chile)point 3 - create account * Deliver scripts to Armen for deployment on bugzillaMozilla infrastructure == Release Targets ==
* 0.1 - Proof of concept
* 0.2 - Cleaned-up release
* 0.3 - Scripts delivered to Armen
== Project Plan ==
? * 0.1 - Proof of concept Fully working proof of concept including early mock up of nightly RPM and repository installation RPM. === Progress made on 0.1 Milestone === Please see our latest blog posts on the status of milestone 0.1. Goals This wiki will feature a brief overview of how the project is progressing. ==== Brett van Gennip - Testing Minefield with SELinux and Fedora 13 ==== Brett had downloaded Minefield and attempted to replicate the error message that was coming up for each releasepeople. 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. * 0.1Please see blog for more details:

* 0.2==== Tarin - RPM Building and Repository Setup ====
Installing Tarin had setup the Repository and made it so that you are able to download the nightly via iraq.proximity.on.ca repository VIA . He has also packaged the nightlies in an RPMformat. 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].
