See project News* 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 ==
? * 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. Goals 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 each releasepeople. 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:* 0while 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.1

Installing the repository VIA an ==== Tarin - RPMBuilding 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].

* 0.4==== Vitaly - Building Firefox/Fedora Repository ====
-> Automation Vitaly had setup the Repository on one of the creation 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 SPEC Filedirectory for which they are to be downloaded from.

When you download the nightlies you get a set of source code. what does he want ? This can we do it or is inconvenient and adds another step for people the builders Responsibility to start testing the nighties and Beta versions of the softwarefigure it out... or does it even matter
WE NEED betas TARIN > It sounds like it is related to co-exist with the firefox Original working package.profiles
Solution -->TARIN IS Compiling 32 bit minefield on ChileTARIN IS Compiling 64 bit minefield on IRAQ
Add a system (RPM and Repository Setup) for streamlined setup for users to test the firefox software Nightlies and Betas.Problems :
