point 1- install repositories- installing a YUM system to grab* 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
Point 2Approach to repo access:- installation of the Repositories# 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
point 3Installation locations:* Must not conflict with distro- create account 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 bugzillathe GUI menus - Minefield (Firefox nightly) - Firefox (Developer Preview)

Subprojects: ==== Brett van Gennip - Testing Minefield with SELinux and Fedora 13 ====
* Build configuration Brett had downloaded Minefield and attempted to replicate the error message that was coming up for people. Overall, he had no success making the RPM fileserror message show up which proved to be a bit of an issue to how he can understand the issue. * Repository configuration RPMs Certain things came up such as: while running firefox, Minefield would not open.* Getting SELinux While running Minefield, firefox would not open. At no point was he able to work run both at the same time. Overall, he plans to speak with the nightliespeople on IRC to try to make some sense of these issues.

'''Day One Notes - October 8th 2010'''
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.
== Approach to the Problem ==Subprojects:
* Target: Current Fedora releases (right now that's Build configuration for the RPM files. * Repository configuration RPMs.* Getting SELinux to work with the nightlies.
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 accessWebsite --> [http:# Make a repo "release" RPM that provides //nightly.repo file and public keymozilla.org/ Firefox Nightlies]
Approach point 1 install repositories installing a YUM system to SELinux:grab # Modify Point 2 installation of the RPM packaging to setup SELinux appropriatelyRepositories#* File labels and policy need to be managed in the RPM packagepoint 3 create account on bugzilla
Installation locations:* Must not conflict with distro-provided install locations* Should be in the standard path* Should start up with a 2 repositories for x86 and 64-bit -profile-manager>* Should appear in the graphical menus, with a different name than producting the stable release* Make appear on the GUI menus - Minefield (Firefox nightly) - Firefox (Developer Preview)rpms
== Deployment ==Creating spec files for nightlies ...
* Deploy on HW pull in CDOT initially (which machine?)nightly build and package* Deliver scripts to Armen for deployment on Mozilla infra automate it using a script from the website
== Release Targets ==repository setup -> signing it -->
* 0.1 - Proof of concept* 0.2 - Cleaned-up release* 0.3 - Scripts delivered to Armencreate the rpm for the repo
== Division of Labour ==seperate nightlies and beta?? AND x86 and 64-bit ??
* SPEC file - Tarinur is Taking this responsibility.* Repo - Vitaly* SELinux > Problem - Brett* Desktop integration and testing - Tarinur> Getting SELinux to work with the nightlies.
