Brett's Log -== Release Targets ==
After further thinking about SELinux and how it works with minefield* 0. I have concluded that it is no longer an issue with current versions1 - Proof of concept* 0. I plan on trying 2 - Cleaned-up release* 0.3 - Scripts delivered to find at which version the error was fixed by browsing the build logs. Armen
Vitaly and I also made a discovery to how to run Firefox and minefield Simultaneously. Simply by creating a new profile and running your initial firefox with the -P <profile-name> and -no-remote command. If you do not have a profile you can add one by running --profilemanager.== Project Plan ==
Therefore, by running:* 0.1 - Proof of concept
run firefox 3Fully working proof of concept including early mock up of nightly RPM and repository installation RPM.6.3 stablefirefox -p firefox -no-remote
then, run minefield:=== Progress made on 0.1 Milestone ===

''' November 12thBrett had downloaded Minefield and attempted to replicate the error message that was coming up for people. Overall, 2010 '''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.

(BRETT)==== Tarin - 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 different profile SPEC file forthe 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].

--> Problem --> Getting SELinux to work with the nightlies.
== Project Details ==
* 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
== Project Plan ==
* 0.1 - Proof of concept
Setup any package to be acquired from our repository
Installing the repository VIA an RPM
* 0.2 - Cleaned-up release
Manual creation of the SPEC file with the BETA Version to create a functional RPM
After tested and satisfied with the results TEST with NIGHTLY Packages
* 0.3 - Scripts delivered to Armen
