Topics for This Week

Work Week
Next week we are meeting up in Portland with the rest of Mozilla. Lots of opportunities to chat with your own team, but also with other teams. Go to meetings to learn about 2015 Initiatives. Hack on amazing, cool stuff – not on normal bug work. Leverage the opportunity.
Passwords
We have had a few meetings about new password-related work in Mobile & Desktop & Cloud Services. We are landing some “parity” features in Fennec soon. We are also looking ahead to new features too, including: Password generation, password strength, LoginManager form heuristics and more.
Reading List
In addition to working on client-side features, Mozilla has also started working on a Reading List service that would sync data across platforms – Mobile and Desktop.

SeaMonkey: 2014-11-25

Filed under: Posts — Tags: — Jesper Kristensen @ 12:00 am

Agenda

  • Who’s taking minutes? -> TBD
  • Nominees for Friends of the Fish Tank:
    • TBD

Action Items

(who needs to do what that hasn’t been recorded in a bug)
We should assign people to the open items.

NEW

OPEN

  • bug 1081726 Donation link on website needs to be change to point to SeaMonkey Paypal donation page — The SeaMonkey specific donation page on www.mozilla.org went missing some time ago and won’t be back – at least in that specific form. While waiting for Mozilla to sort out its problems we need something that works for us presently. Will be fixed by this week. Assigned to mcsmurf.
  • (bug 956561); move blog to blog.mozilla.org. [DONE]
    • mcsmurf has completed the new design but hasn’t published it yet.
    • Some progress with the SSL certificate issue. With the certificate, things would work easier as mcsmurf wants to sync the blog with Facebook entries.
  • bug 998807 Sync account creation or device pairing fails with exception in BrowserIDManager
    • mcsmurf says he has a short term workaround for this.
  • bug 1057920 SeaMonkey’s CVS dependency really should be removed. (currently used only for Releng Automation, and SeaMonkey Website).
    • IanN will create a separate bug for the releng automation stuff and will find out what is required to get the work done.

CLOSED

Status of the SeaMonkey Buildbot Master and Tree

  • Buildmaster is up and running, and produces en-US builds, see 9/16 meeting’s Friends of the Fish Tank. Builds and langpacks in 18 languages including en-US are available unofficially thanks to A.Kalla.
  • bug 1083689 Langpacks aren’t updated when auto-updating SeaMonkey. The langpacks need strict versioning e.g. min 2.30 max 2.30.* which makes sense since you don’t want 2.29 strings with 2.30. This is possibly a build config problem so we should check with Callek, ewong, or KaiRo.
    • The de and en-GB langpacks for 2.30 have:
      <em:minVersion>2.30</em:minVersion><em:maxVersion>2.*</em:maxVersion>
      2.22 had:
      <em:minVersion>2.22</em:minVersion><em:maxVersion>2.22.*</em:maxVersion>
  • 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.
  • [25th November 2014]
    • Infrastructure issues
      • linux64 systems are still plagued by bug 1058385. Regular AWOLing. Currently 2 slaves are up.(-5 and -6)
      • NB: Currently the miscellaneous patches to fix the RelEng infra (tooltool et.al) are all applied to the master directly. Once reviewed, the patches will be pushed to their corresponding repositories and the master will be updated properly.
      • NB2: None of the test bustages are listed. Priority is currently set to get the builds running properly.
      • On mozilla-central a win64 change has landed recently and switching to VS2013. SeaMonkey Windows builders are running Vista and VS 2013 has a minimum requirement of Windows 7.
    • [comm-central]
      • WinNT busted : bug 1094097 – fallout from bug 1076020. Have patch. Needs landing on the mozilla/angle github repository.
      • l10n nightly/dep builds busted : bug 1073327 Fix waiting review.
      • blocklist update bustage : bug 1074572 Fix waiting review.
    • [comm-aurora]
  • See RelEng page for the RelEng status history.
  • In Bug 902876 Comment 12 Mcsmurf is waiting for feedback from the build team on how to proceed.

Release Train

  • SeaMonkey 2.31 Beta 2 yet to be scheduled.
  • Merge day: 28 November 2014. (custom schedule)
  • Useful Firefox Release Schedule link: Releases Scheduling

Extensions and Plugins Compatibility Tracking

  • Flashblock is broken on Firefox and SeaMonkey (for 2.31, bug 1052480), regression from bug 1050049.
  • The Thunderbird team is planning to ship Lightning with Thunderbird. IanN thinks we will want to ship lightning too. We should coordinate with Thunderbird.
  • 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/

  • Proposed replacement for Venkman for shipping with SeaMonkey: Tiny JavaScript Debugger
    • TinyJSD is a JavaScript debugger for privileged code running Mozilla products like Firefox, Thunderbird, SeaMonkey. It serves to debug the application as well as extensions written in JavaScript. Can we ship this as a replacement for Venkman? The licence it uses is MPL 1.1.
  • Addon SDK: Mostly fixed. The largest remaining stumbling block is the hard dependency on (the Firefox) CustomizableUI.jsm which is used by SDK UI modules like button and toolbar. But see also Replace deprecated sdk/widget, without using toolbar from Australis

    You can fork the widget module and publish it on npm and try to support it. Just copy and paste it to a new module, remove the deprecation warnings, and publish that on npm, and start using it with jpm

  • See Basics page. Please only list current changes here.
  • Addon Compatibility Listings
  • Ratty filed bug 957149 to push an updated version of DOMi to addons.mozilla.org to pick up the latest fixes. Depends on:
  • Our build team needs to automate DOMI branch selection rather than having to tweak the client.py every 6 weeks. bug 763506

Feature List, Planning

Bug statistics for the last two (full) weeks: 32 new, 17 fixed, 5 triaged.

  • Low triaging effort, average number of new bugs filed.
  • IanN thinks it would be useful to remind people on the newsgroups / forums that they can contribute by triaging. Tonymec will post a reminder to newsgroups / forums. See bug 1092632 (Sm_tri_HowTo) Document how to triage SeaMonkey bugs.

Open reviews/flags:
25 review
5 super-review
3 ui-review
5 feedback

  • See Feature List page for major wanted/needed features.
  • TODO: We will need to update our Sync UI code due to the new Sync API. Also we need to check if we are allowed to create FX accounts from our UI Since the new Sync accounts are FX accounts.[IanN] I’m sure I saw a question about FX accounts and branding. Callek was going to ask about being able to use Firefox accounts.

Schedule

  • Next merge: 2014-12-01 (*updated*)

Topics for This Week

Tablet UI
The new Tablet UI is enabled by default. Lucas made a small tweak to silence a Talos checkerboarding test. Lucas and William looked into using eideticker to verify if the Talos failure, but eideticker currently is phone-only. We might just do some manual subjective testing before reverting Lucas’ tweak.
Video and Lollipop
Snorp has uplifted a set of patches to Fx34 that should enable video and MP4 audio support on Lollipop. MP3 audio is still broken.

TL;DR – I’ve been mostly working on the iOS project.

  • I have finished the first iteration of the Share UI (screenshot) which I hope to land this week.
  • Currently focussing on getting the final UI changes in for the Send To extension, making it up to date with the latest UI designs. (Includes minor style/flow changes and a new Toast-like UI element). Should land this week.
  • For both Share To and Send To I have only implemented the UI part. Will start a discussion about how to integrate it properly in the Account/AccountManager code that we already have.

Firefox/Gecko Delivery Planning: 2014-11-19

Filed under: Posts — Tags: — Jesper Kristensen @ 12:00 am

Schedule & Progress onUpcoming Releases (Lukas/Sylvestre/Lawrence)

  • Pushing out 34 by one week for stability reasons
  • Merge day on Friday 11/28
  • Check in with lmandel with any specific questions

Firefox Desktop & Platform (Javaun/Chad/Martin)

Current Releases

Beta (34)

  • MP4/AAC/h264 support is moving to 35 and has been prefed off in 34 on OSX

Nightly (36)

  • The plan is to default e10s off on Monday so we get a few days before the merge to shake out any issues
  • MSE using WebM has landed in nightly prefed on by default on all desktop platforms in nightly.
    • MP4/AAC will be enabled on by default on windows vista, windows 7, windows 8 at some point over the next week.
      • To get the best results for testing, WebM will be turned off on the above windows platforms to force MP4 usage.

Firefox Mobile (Mark/Brad/Jenn)

Current Releases

Beta (34)

  • The new MediaCodec based media back end has been uplifted to beta and is in the beta 10 candidate build. Our plan is to ship this to 34 release to fix mp4 video playback for Android L users.

Developer Tools (Jeff)

  • Dev Edition Roundup
    • Feedback: huge increase in submissions to uservoice, ~80 in the last week ( previous average was 7-8 )
    • Outbound: big discussion on mozhacks, reddit and hacker news
    • Telemetry graphs show strong uptick in usage of the devtools in Aurora, echoing downloads and ADI numbers we’ve seen.
    • ‘Beta Doorhanger’ goes live soon (?)
  • Landings

Market Insights from the Market Strategy Team (Kev)

Kev is unavailable this week. Will post to planet and backfill here.

    • not heard from standard8

Critical Issues

  • Several critical bugs keeping us from moving from 24 to 31. Please leave these here until they’re confirmed fixed.
    • Frequent POP3 crasher bug 902158 On current aurora and beta?
      • we won’t have data/insight till next week, assuming the relevant builds are built. crash-stats for nightly builds is not useful – direct user testing of the fixed build is required
    • Self-signed certs are having difficulty bug 1036338 SOLVED! REOPENED according to the bug?
    • Auto-complete bugs?bug 1045753 waiting for esr approval bug 1043310 Waiting for review, still
    • Auto-complete improvements (bug 970456, bug 1091675, bug 118624) – some of those could go into esr31
    • bug 1045958TB 31 jp does not display folder pane with OS X

Why are we throttled? Because 1) waiting for TB 31.3, and 2) still hoping for bug 1045958 3) need auto-complete bug approved. Dec 1/2 is now release date.

Upcoming

Round Table

wsmwk

  • got Penelope (pre-OSE eudora) removed from AMO
  • shepherding [1] bug 1045958]]TB 31 jp does not display folder pane with OS X
  • secured potential release drivers

    • Detecting issues earlier in the cycle
    • Mitigation strategies for issues in field that don’t require a point release (think blocklist)
    • Release process/schedule discussion

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.)

CritSmash (dbolter)

  • We’re doing well on criticals, not great otherwise.

MemShrink (njn)

<Read Only>

areweslimyet.com (AWSY) is broken due to e10s landing. Bug 1100253 is tracking this. There’s a big warning at the top of AWSY so that people don’t freak out too much.

Stability (kairo)

  • Overall numbers look good again except for Nightly (and Android Aurora, which is coming back down after a MediaCodec fix).
    • Nightly issues are mostly e10s and GFX.
    • While there’s some things we probably want to investigate, no firefighting needs on any channels above Nightly atm!
  • Long-term crash rate graphs are now available for Nightly and Aurora in addition to Beta and Release
  • Help needed: bug 1093683 (Yosemite crash when saving files) is rising across channels, needs investigation, if on Apple side, we may need to communicate with them.

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>

–run-by-dir for mochitest-browser-chrome has landed! See bug 1057512. Three tests are currently disabled as a result, we’re working on finding owners and fixing them:

Accessibility (dbolter)

<Read Only>

  • Eitan implemented bug 1069598 gesture quicknav (for Gaia)
  • Trevor is ready for engineering help with our e10s a11y solution (will reach out)
  • W3C land: possibility of element.getComputedRole is being discussed. Essentially this opens the door to accessibility-like DOM API. A downside is it will be a little too easy to instantiate our a11y engine (increases exploit attack surface), upsides include a11y innovation as well as a11y acid tests.

Electrolysis (e10s) (blassey)

  • We may disable e10s on Nightly a few days before the Aurora merge date.

Firefox Mobile (snorp/blassey/mfinkle)

  • Possible uplift of fixes (bug 1086693) and enabling MediaCodec backend on 34 now that we have some more time

GFX (milan)

  • Desktop QA is maintaining a “Top 5” graphics bugs in Trello that we’re using to prioritize bug fixing. Very convenient.
  • (Still ) chasing some blacklisting opportunities, mostly on AMD now.

Layout (jet/dbaron)

<Read Only>

  • CSS properties “object-fit” & “object-position” have landed (impl: bug 624647, pref-enabled: bug 1099450)
  • Should be enabled in tomorrow’s nightly, depending on inbound merge timing.

Media (mreavy)

<Read Only>

  • Hello problems over the weekend caused by a Push server update
    • Push team figuring out what went wrong and why an update they didn’t intend got included
    • Seems stable now.
  • Fighting a 20fps max issue in B2G 2.1 (regression likely due to bug 848954)
  • Looking to update media/webrtc/trunk either late in 36 or early 37 (more likely) with code shared with Chrome 40
  • Major rewrite of webrtc signaling about to land
    • Moving towards renegotiation and multiple streams
    • bwc++!
  • Mac Support for MP4/h264/AAC switched off in beta and will not release in 34, expected to ship in 35. (bug 1068455‏ and bug 1070703)

Necko (dougt/jduell)

<Read Only>

  • No update this week.

Roundtable

(Comments and questions that arise during the course of the meeting or otherwise do not have a section.)

  • (lmandel) Less sheriff coverage this week. You may want to handle your own landings.

<Read only beyond this point>

Mailing List Threads

(Threads that are likely to be of interest to engineering from various mailing lists.)

Good Reads

(Links to blog posts, books, videos, etc. that you think will be of interest to others.)
