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

=== 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.

==== 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 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].

==== Vitaly - Building Firefox/Fedora Repository ====
Vitaly had setup the Repository on one of the servers in Seneca's open source room locations. He had proceeded in creating a script that will automate the process of setting up the repo's into the directory for which they are to be downloaded from.
Our repository is located at [http://iraq.proximity.on.ca/ffrepo/ Nightly Repository].
