QA Issues

Status updates

• sdwilsh
  • bug 455555 – Use asynchronous queries for places autocomplete (working on blocking bugs)

• mak
  • dynamic containers work is ready to land, just waiting for SR on API changes. Will probably need further love in future when we start using them, but they should just work OOTB.
  • Need to publish proposal on m.d.a.f. for livemarks conversion sprint once dynamic containers land.
  • Worked out some orange and crashiness in tests
  • still a couple of Tsnappiness patches to unbitrot
  • Updating Places:Plan page with small projects we can easily convert to sprints, with infos, relations, ecc. I’ll then pass through them with Dietrich to prioritize them.

• adw
  • No Places work. See Firefox/Sprints/Startup_Time_Improvements.
  • Lingering async containers bug 490714 status: On the last episode of Async Containers, locale-sensitive collations landed in bug 499990. Now the path is clear for pushing down all sorting from C++ to SQL in bug 499985. Stay tuned!

  • Documentation non-existent:
    • dynamic containers (MaK77)

Roundtable

• Places Branch
  • http://tests.themasta.com/tinderboxpushlog/?tree=Places

• https://wiki.mozilla.org/Places:Plan needs to be updated and get better to show our roadmap. (mak)
  • Doing right now, will take some hour to get all infos for the various small projects.

• A Places (or non-Places-specific that we use for Places…) dashboard that shows live changes, bugzilla queries, graphs would be nice to have
  • https://wiki.mozilla.org/User:Dietrich/Dashboard

• bug 489173 Issue with size of places.sqlite and Google Toolbar
  • Need to check if latest Google toolbar did fix the issue (and if eventually we need to push harder on having a vacuuming service)
