Nightlies are located at [Approach to packaging:# Pull from a standard URL (as of now http://nightly.mozilla.org/ Firefox Nightlies])# 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 =Add details = * Deploy on what needs HW in CDOT initially (Chile)* Deliver scripts to be done to get startedArmen for deployment on Mozilla infrastructure == Release Targets == * 0.1 -Proof of concept* 0.2 -Cleaned-up release* 0.3 - Scripts delivered to Armen

* 0.2==== Brett van Gennip - Testing Minefield with SELinux and Fedora 13 ====
* 0Brett 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.3

He has also packaged the nightlies in an RPM format. Which means that he has created a SPEC file for Mozilla Nightlies the RPM to work with Fedora 1x machines in both 32 bit and Betas 64 bit architectures.
