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.

Subprojects:

  • Build configuration for the RPM files.
  • Repository configuration RPMs.
  • Getting SELinux to work with the nightlies.
