Need To Know

(Release and system issues that may impact engineering this week.)

Notices/Schedule (lsblakk/sylvestre/lmandel)

Next Merge: October 13, 2014 Next Release: October 14, 2014
Trains
Central: 35 Aurora: 34 Beta: 33 Release: 32
  • 32.0.1 updates disabled today, maybe 32.0.2…we’ll see
    • candidate driver: bug 1063052 Firefox 32 startup crash in nsFrame::BoxReflow

Build Changes (gps)

(Build changes of which engineers should be aware.)

RelEng (catlee)

(Repo, test, and other information for engineers from the release engineering team.)

Upcoming Outages/Upgrades

(System outages/upgrades and tree closures that impact engineering.)

  • Saturday, September 20, is the Tree Closing Window. See bug 1065514 for details. hg.mozilla.org will be offline for a period of time, so trees will be closed. This is likely to be from 0900-1300PT, but time will be confirmed on Wednesday. Look for the notice with final times later this week.

Quality Programs

(An opportunity to hear about status with the various quality programs that do not have a formal team structure.)

MemShrink (njn)

  • No update.

Stability (kairo)

  • We just halted 32.0.1 updates due to bug 1063052.
  • Beta still has GFX issues on both desktop (OMTC/D3D11) and Android (AlphaBoxBlur bug 1028802).
  • Prompt for e10s on Nightly triggered us seeing a lot of e10s crashes, we need a lot of work there until we’ll be able to ship anything there or even turn on by default.

Team Stand-ups

(In <2 mins, what did your team accomplish last week, on what is your team working on this week, and on what, if anything, is your team blocked? No questions during the stand-ups. All questions should be asked during the roundtable.)

A*Team (jgriffin)

<Read Only>

Blog and newsgroup posts:

Desktop Platform (bsmedberg)

<Read Only>
Mac V2 signing work is our top priority and we hope to have that on nightly next week.

Developer Tools (prouget/bgrins)

DOM (jst/overholt)

Electrolysis (e10s) (blassey)

  • Please help dogfood e10s in Nightly!
  • e10s bugs fixed in the last week: http://is.gd/ksQL9N
  • To get more testing from Nightly users:
    • bug 1064885 – Added e10s opt-in prompt in Nightly
    • bug 1064886 – Added “Enable E10S” checkbox in Firefox Preferences pane
    • Disable e10s if a11y (bug 1047076) or safe mode bug 1063848 are enabled (to avoid known issues, for now)
    • We might enable e10s for all Nightly users (for just one day) to get broader testing during Nightly 35. So now is a good time to report any critical e10s bugs you are seeing.

Firefox Desktop (gavin)

irc #planning Log From This Meeting

11:02 cpeterson: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Platform/2014-09-16
11:05 bsmedberg: blassey: jimm: I'll be following up with you later about the e10s crashes
11:05 blassey: ok
11:06 lmandel: bsmedberg: I see readonly update about v2 sigs. Do you want to tell people what that means?
11:06 cpeterson: e10s content crashes are up about 100x since the e10s opt-in prompt
11:06 bsmedberg: lmandel: not really, do you think I need to?
11:06 lmandel: bsmedberg: Only if you think people will be impacted in their work.
11:07 lmandel: bsmedberg: We should probably call out when this is done so that people know.
11:07 KaiRo: hmm, do I only voip badly in those larger meetings? I didn't hear complaints in the smaller ones I'm usually in
11:07 bsmedberg: I think rstrong will be sending an email around to dev.platform when the current oranges/issues are solved before we actually flip things over
11:07 lmandel: KaiRo: You were fine in the channel meeting.
11:07 lmandel: bsmedberg: k
11:08 KaiRo: lmandel: ok, maybe the added traffic of more people on the meeting tips it over or so
11:09 KaiRo: btw, "Firefox is not starting now" seems to be a quite common issue with e10s
11:09 armenzg_mtg: cpeterson, I will mention it here
11:09 armenzg_mtg: I tried e10s on Linux Desktop nightly recently and it was a pretty awful experience
11:10 armenzg_mtg: enabling it by default even for one day will be pretty terrible for nightly testers
11:10 KaiRo: snorp: did you get a crash reporter at all for that non-starting thing with e10s?
11:10 snorp: KaiRo: yeah, standby, will paste
11:11 snorp: https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/c5ef1fca-fde0-44c8-95ef-680052140916
11:11 KaiRo: snorp: ok, good to know, startup crashes sound like the first thing we need to fix
11:11 snorp: yes.
11:11 armenzg_mtg: cpeterson, what is the preferred way to give feedback about e10s?
11:11 KaiRo: xpc::AddonWindowOrNull
11:11 KaiRo: sounds like fun with add-ons
11:12 cpeterson: armenzg_mtg: you can mention e10s problems in #e10s or just file a bug. Be sure to include the word "e10s" in your bug summary so our e10s triage queries will find it!
11:13 dveditz: armenzg: there's a link to file bugs at https://wiki.mozilla.org/Electrolysis#Contributing
11:13 armenzg: cpeterson, dveditz thank you gentlemen - I will dog food again
11:13 dveditz: also descriptions of known issues and links to known bugs for dupe finding
11:13 dveditz: on that page
11:13 dveditz: I mean a link to a query
11:14 KaiRo: snorp: can you file this one? sounds like this specific signature only exists today
11:14 snorp: KaiRo: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1068163
11:14 cpeterson: armenzg: TBH, if you had e10s crash problems, you might want to wait a day before dogfooding again for some recent fixes to make their way to mozilla-central and then Nightly builds.
11:15 KaiRo: snorp: awesome, thanks. the signature seems to be all only today's build. fun.
11:15 snorp: KaiRo: yay
11:15 armenzg: cpeterson, I'm good with crashes - IIRC I was having responsiveness issues
11:15 cpeterson: armenzg: oh, that problem has not been fixed yet <:)
11:15 snorp: heh
11:15 snorp: cpeterson: what causes it
11:16 snorp: shouldn't it be *more* responsive
11:16 armenzg: cpeterson, k thanks
11:16 armenzg: snorp, in some cases :P
11:16 cpeterson: snorp: I don't know the cause, but there is likely some IPC bottleneck between parent and content process.
11:17 cpeterson: snorp: the browser should be more responsive (because its UI thread is not blocked on content as much), but all tabs run in the same process that can block each other.

Mozilla Communities

Speaker Location: Surman / Mitchell – Berlin

  • A month back, we assembled a tiger team on the community goal.
    • Mark Surman, Mitchell, Mary Ellen Muckerman, David Boswell, Brian King, Michelle Thorne, Kristin Baird
    • Working with community teams from across Mozilla
  • Our first action is to pilot the idea of “contribution challenges” to tie the volunteer community to new initiatives that aim to have immediate term impact on topline goals.
  • Over this past weekend, the team worked with the reps at RemoCamp this weekend to iterate and advance the challenges and define volunteer community ownership.
  • Working with the business owner for each goal, these are the challenges that we have prioritized to do between now and the end of the year:
  • Firefox : Firefox 10 and Growth
    • Define a number of initiatives that promote Firefox growth, that we can test during the Firefox 10 campaign. These are a combination of promotions based around events, product features, and so on. The ultimate goal is drive downloads.
  • FXOS Local Presence:
    • Produce a large volume of high quality hyper-local content for FXOS users in India and Mexico, in a very short time frame, and in parallel, train Mozillians to become skilled evangelists and developer mentors to ensure long-term sustained support and mentorship for local developers creating hyper-local content for FXOS
  • FXOS in market Communications:
    • Enable our local communities to be the ongoing voice of FFOS / mozilla in their locales through a range of communications channels, as appropriate in their locals.
  • FXOS + Webmaker:
    • Training and user surveys that help us understand ways that ‘user generated apps’ can solve problems for the next billion web users.
    • Will actively play a role in shipping Mobile Webmaker (aka Appmaker) through user testing at Maker Parties and conduct interviews with feature phone users to understand the problems they want to solve.
  • Tiles:
    • Define a system to generate content for regional community tiles in 20 launch markets for October 15 and put an ongoing structure in place for regional communities to own the content schedule for regional community tiles.

Thunderbird meeting notes 2014-09-11
Today’s minutes taker, please don’t forget to :
– save etherpad before clearing for this meeting, if etherpad wasn’t previously cleared (but copy “Action items” to the top before clearing)
– after end of meeting, copy entire etherpad contents to a new dated wiki page on http://mzl.la/tbstatus so that they will go public in the meeting notes blog.
– save etherpad, copy “Action items” to “Action items from last meetings”, and clear the rest of etherpad comments

Attendees

  • rkent, florian queze, irving, rolandtanglao, magnus

Action items from last meetings

  • rkent and wsmwk to unblock / deal with bienvenu bugs

Current status and discussions

  • no progress on “bienvenu” bugs
  • comm-central changes on hold pending mercurial changes and signoff by smedberg
  • discussion about kent’s modification to Thunderbird governance proposal is positive
  • much work on summit and video from mconley and rkent
  • summit agenda planning, rkent to ask in tb-planning

Round Table

jcranmer

  • Likely won’t be at meeting today, one of my meetings changed time slots to start 30m before this one
  • according to gps, hg partial checkouts are targetted to land 3.2, more likely to land in 3.3 (release dates of Nov 1/Feb 1, respectively)
    • bsmedberg has said this is his blocker for letting c-c merge into m-c
    • gps plans to make it a high priority to update to newer hg quickly, and now has a new role to make that more possible
  • Played with putting OpenLDAP server in a Docker container

JosiahOne (Not at meeting)

  • Have done reviews and have been giving feedback in bugs, but personal development time has slowed. My development machine has to have a part replaced on Saturday plus I have papers and college applications to finish this month, so availability will be limited until around the time of the Summit.
  • OS X Codesign V2 status is coming along, I’m mostly just waiting for a finished version of the Fx implementation.

rkent

  • Summit: we really need a group of people to work on the agenda. Volunteers?
  • Discussion of reorg plan?

mconley

  • Now acting as interface between TB community and ProTravel Inc
    • The attendees list has been garnered from the wiki, along with 2 extras from Fallen and Florian for Calendar / Chat. Waiting to hear from a few more.
  • Re-connected with Aaron Mandel about a fundraising video. Quote is approximately $600 (+tax), since he likes Mozilla and wants to give us a deal
    • We need to find a good variety (accents, countries of origin, languages) members of the TB community who are comfortable / articulate in front of the camera (about 5-7 people), and come up with “our story”. I suggested our audience be current TB users who don’t actually know what’s happening with Thunderbird.
    • Quickly talk about where Thunderbird came from, the transition to community development, and where we are now – and why we need help. Instead of just talking heads, these interviews will be interspersed with shots of people checking their email, doing calendaring, chatting, etc.
    • We need the quick and punchy stuff: “Put users in control of their email”, “Your email is yours, even when you’re offline”, “Lots of tweaks and add-ons for power users”
    • We also need to send Aaron TB art / assets for graphical work.
    • Once we have our story, we’ll put together a really basic script, so we know who to put in front of the camera, and what questions to ask.
    • Then, I’ll meet with Aaron face-to-face 2 weeks before we shoot to make sure we have everything we need
    • During the summit (probably the Friday), we’ll pull our 5-7 people aside, ask them the questions we’ve scripted (maybe several times to get the sound bites we want), and then Aaron will cut together the video.

clokep (Not attending)

  • Been in contact with some of the DarkMail developers, have been trying to get them to ask questions in #maildev, but they seem to like to ask through me.
    • They’ve said things like “Random people don’t get answers there”
    • More likely they’re working during times when “we’re” not online.

Support team

Action Items

  • mconley: Come up with a short-list of volunteers to go on camera, send out emails with questions on them to get responses, find the responses that resonate, and from that, assemble our script.

Market Insights from the Market Strategy Team (Kev)

Something to think About

There’s been some talk about how HTTPS by default would help mitigate things like Comcast’s Open Wifi hotspots helpfully performing content injection of ads into people’s browsing session(s) and other deep-packet inspection by various parties. This type of activity has the potential to become another war of attrition between browser orgs and adware/malware providers, and brings the certificate store into the spotlight. The certificate store, and continuing to validate its content, is something we should probably pay more attention to as more and more content is delivered via HTTPS as a default.
Why we should care: Trust is important, and so is encrypting traffic end-to-end. As more of that traffic is encrypted, the cert store can become a target for malware. We need to ensure that as we push HTTPS, we also keep an eye on the pieces that make it work.

bug 1030135

Worth a Read

  • In addition to the addition of NFC to the iPhone 6, Apple also introduced its Pay system to make NFC transactions more appealing to retailers and payment providers. Just incorporating NFC hasn’t been enough to get mobile payments off the ground in the US, and Apple’s partnering with banks, credit companies, and payment providers may give it the boost it needs. developer site here.
  • Oracle will only certify Firefox ESR for use with its E-Business Suite, citing Firefox’s 6-week release as a pain point. Chrome is still not officially certified. Good opportunity to make a little noise around ESR in the corporate environment.

Build Changes (gps)

(Build changes of which engineers should be aware.)

RelEng (catlee)

(Repo, test, and other information for engineers from the release engineering team.)

Upcoming Outages/Upgrades

(System outages/upgrades and tree closures that impact engineering.)

Quality Programs

(An opportunity to hear about status with the various quality programs that do not have a formal team structure.)

OrangeFactor (ryanvm)

<Read Only>

  • Past week’s OrangeFactor: 3.44 (last week: 5.01).
  • The top of the list is mostly dominated by mobile failures, both B2G and Android.
  • Waiting on Aurora approval requests for MediaStreamGraph refactor fixes that were causing frequent oranges.
  • 16 intermittent failures fixed in the last week – List – Thanks!.

MemShrink (njn)

  • Boris Zbarsky fixed a bad memory leak. If you were seeing ghost windows in your Nightly build recently, this is probably the reason. The patch has been backported to Aurora.

Stability (kairo/bsmedberg)

  • Release has about 10% of all crashes in three bugs that are somewhat concerning: bug 1062452 (~5%, GFX), bug 1063048 (~3%, GFX), bug 1063052 (~1%, Layout)
  • Desktop Beta has high crash rates due to multiple GFX crashes in the top ranges, probably OMTC/D3D11 work
  • Mobile Beta has two GFX bugs that cause bad crash rates: bug 1028802 (was supposed to be fixed in 33 but isn’t), bug 1041744

Team Stand-ups

(In <2 mins, what did your team accomplish last week, on what is your team working on this week, and on what, if anything, is your team blocked? No questions during the stand-ups. All questions should be asked during the roundtable.)

Mozilla Communities


Speaker Location: non-verbal / Surman



    

  •  As noted last meeting, we’re actively looking for new ways community can have impact on topline goals in Q3/Q4.

    • 



    

  •  We’ve developed a tentative set of goals for this time frame, which are:

      

    •  Maintain momentum on our community goal (Q3/4)

      • 

    •  Start new community initiatives / challenges that interest volunteers and have positive impact on our product goals (Q3/4)

      • 

    •  Involve leadership from across the project and within regional communities (Q3/4)

      • 

    •  Design an even more ambitious plan for 2015+ (Q4)

      • 

    

    • 



    

  •  We’ll be discussing these goals and short term community ‘challenges’ tied to products at ReMo camp in Berlin next weekend.

  •  Full update from Mitchell / Surman coming on this topic next week. Non-verbal for today.

Insights


Read-only update this week, as Kev is at a work week. Not a lot beyond announcements to kick off the fall holiday buying season, with all kinds of new gear coming. Still some interesting bits in the Notes section, though. I’ll have better stuff next week given all the press events in the next few days.



Worth a Read


    

  •  A piece on how LG bungled their WebOS acquisition. It’s an opinion piece, but it highlights culture clash from a corporate and regional perspective, and how (unresolved) conflicting viewpoints can damage people and product.

CLOSED

    • 



Status of the SeaMonkey Buildbot Master and Tree


    

  •  Buildmaster is up and running.

      

    •  Due to the master having some mysql issues, Callek has put a halt on the mysql updates, which affects the tbpl.  So nothing is showing in tbpl atm.

      • 

    

    • 

  •  comm-* will be building out of mozilla-* (bug 648979 etc.). Jcrammer has completed the coding. The decision to merge c-c into m-c has been kicked down the road into the next quarter or two.

      

    •  Recent work on this:

      • 

    •  bug 1040009 .mozconfig configure options are ignored if objdir path is absolute

      • 

    •  bug 1035599 Pseudo-merge m-c and c-c’s objdir

      • 

    

    • 



    

  •  [1st September 2014]

      

    •  All Linux64 machines(except the buildbot master) have decided to go on strike/AWOL/whatever. (Not good, obviously, but not something Callek or ewong can do until DCOps kickstart them, and since Monday is a holiday, it’ll be after Tuesday before anything’s done.) bug 1058385 Ergo, All trees are closed.

        

      •  w0ts0n from #it took a look at sea-hp-linux64-9 and said it had a ‘Disk error’. (Again, not good. In fact, exactly the same situation as sea-hp-linux64-2.)

        • 

      

      • 

    •  Thankfully, the last slave (-13) went AWOL *after* the 2.29b2 release. (If it was going to go AWOL, after release would be the best time; of course, *not going AWOL* would’ve been preferential.)

      • 

    •  Buildbotcustom/config release code is still being tweaked to get release done.

      • 

    

    • 



    

  •  [19th August 2014 update]

      

    •  All available linux64 machines are up and running buildbot (CentOS 6.5)

      • 

    •  Current round of changes have been reviewed and landed.

      • 

    •  One final round about to be reviewed.

        

      •  The following are ‘old’ info being kept as a reference:[these entries will be removed with the next Status Meeting]

          

        •  Migrating our Linux builders to CentOS 6 bug 795354. Puppetmaster has been updated. Ewong is able to login to these hosts and buildbot is installed. We still need to get everything setup for parity and do some slight tweaks to the puppet config, but we’re pretty close to useable.

          • 

        •  In Progress: 2.28 beta and final will depend on build system working again for Gecko 31.0

          • 

        •  bug 983536 libpango version >= 1.22.0 required on Linux.(should be fixed when bug 795354 is fixed).

          • 

        •  bug 977676 SeaMonkey’s puppet broken due to requirement of ffxbld ldap password.

          • 

        •  bug 943740 is tracking the progress (or lack of one) in building trunk and aurora on Linux & Mac from the downloading user’s POV.

          • 

        •  bug 840426 tracks the buildbot-config and buildbotcustom code changes to support Mock on our linux* slaves.

          • 

        •  bug 853720 tracks the builders not recognizing mozcrash. (Not exactly sure if it’s relevant still, since our builders have been so perma-red for some time; but putting this here just in case.)

          • 

        

        • 

      

      • 

    •  We are perma-orange on comm-central, comm-aurora and comm-beta due to problems with tests

        

      •  Windows en-US builds are being successfully compiled but tests are not working due to a dependency on python 2.7.3.

        • 

      

      • 

    

    • 

  •  pymake has been discontinued. We need to install the latest Mozilla-build and tooltool on our windows builders (tracked by bug 1023644 )

    • 

  •  No langpacks since 29th August 2013 on trunk. Needs investigating.

      

    •  Windows and Mac trunk langpacks directories have been removed on the FTP server, maybe for lack of recent XPIs (later than 2.20a1). Latest Linux langpacks are dated 29 August. Callek told Tonymec on IRC he has a hunch about why but more pressing things to do first.

      • 

    •  In Bug 902876 Comment 12 Mcsmurf is waiting for feedback from the build team on how to proceed.

      • 

    

    • 



Release Train


    

  •  SeaMonkey 2.29b1 was released on 27th August 2014.

    • 

  •  SeaMonkey 2.29b2 was released on 2nd September 2014.

    • 

  •  The final release will be about a week after the Firefox one, to ensure any major issues have been shaken out.

      

    •  Callek / ewong will post / blog about it soon.

      • 

    

    • 

  •  Useful Firefox Release Schedule link: Releases Scheduling

    • 



Extensions and Plugins Compatibility Tracking


    

  •  Firefox & Thunderbird Add-on Converter for SeaMonkey

    • 

  •  This tool goes a little further beyond simply modifying install.rdf – it also identifies a few more other things in the code that are Firefox or Thunderbird specific and attempts to change them. Of course, not all extensions can be ported so easily to SeaMonkey since there’s only so much an automated tool like that can do.

    Add-on Converter for SeaMonkey: http://addonconverter.fotokraina.com/
    

      

    •  There is a long list of Firefox and Thunderbird extensions that have been successfully converted in the Mozillazine thread[1]. Can someone go through the thread and add the list of successful conversions to SeaMonkey/AddonCompat.

  •  Mainly concentrated on getting the buildbotcustom/config stuff done to get the releases out.

    • 

  •  Ergo, I might have fixed some bugs; but I’m completely lost as to what I’ve done and haven’t done.

    • 

  •  so for the very first time, I don’t have an update but this entry isn’t empty; whereas the last time, it was empty.

Ratty


Just back from a holiday. Currently recovering from jet-lag.



Any other business?


Discuss:



    

  •  [Ratty] KaiRo reminded us that we need to grow our contributor community. Perhaps we can get some Engagement experts from Mozilla to give us some suggestions?

      

    •  [IanN] might have a chat with some people and see if they can point me in the right direction.

      • 

    •  Should take this one to the mailing lists
