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.
