Release bookmarks SOP

Introduction

This is a Marketing SOP that describes how to create release bookmarks, which are the set of Firefox bookmarks included by default in a new release. This is done by creating and maintaining the fedora-bookmarks package once per release, before the Beta freze.

Examples

You can see examples of past release bookmarks at Features/Bookmarks, or directly in the package database entry for fedora-bookmarks.

Instructions

1. Grab the most recent version of the fedora-bookmarks package, which is your starting point.
   1. Extract the default-bookmarks.html file from that package, and copy it to /usr/share/bookmarks
2. Backup your ~/.mozilla
   1. cp -r ~/.mozilla ~/dot-mozilla
   2. rm -r ~/.mozilla
3. Load up Firefox and edit the bookmarks as you like.
4. Bookmarks->Organize Bookmarks->Import & Backup->Export HTML
5. Save the file.
6. To make Red Hat Legal happy, remove any ICON="..." occurrences in the file. Do this with your favorite text editor.
7. Load the file in Firefox just to sanity check.
8. Restore your previous ~/.mozilla
   1. rm -r ~/.mozilla
   2. mv ~/dot-mozilla ~/.mozilla
9. Overwrite default-bookmarks.html in the package directory.
10. Bump the spec file and add a changelog entry.
11. commit, tag, build.
