== Project Details ==
* 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 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 (Chile)
* Deliver scripts to Armen for deployment on Mozilla infrastructure
== Release Targets ==
* 0.1 - Proof of concept
* 0.2 - Cleaned-up release
* 0.3 - Scripts delivered to Armen
== Project Plan ==
Goals for each release:* 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. 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 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. Please see blog for more details:

* 0Tarin 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].2

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.
