The Overview

Mozbase

• [DBurns] Fixed bug 751348 since it was affecting Selenium Proxy

Bugzilla

• [glob] ui tweaks (you can now force wrapping of quoted text, tbplbot comments are collapsed by default)
• [glob] browserid issues investigation
• [glob + dkl] tracking-flag work
• [glob + dkl] admin work
• [dkl] TryAutoLand enhancement request work

Eideticker

• [wlach] Various work to make web server for Eideticker work better with image-heavy sites like imgur (thanks to [chmanchester] for some comparative numbers of mozhttpd vs apache)
• [wlach] Getting the Galaxy Nexus working with Eideticker
• [wlach] / [ctalbert] Fixing/diagnosing various issues with LG G2X reliability impacting the Eideticker dashboard

Sheriffing

[UK public holiday Monday 7th, so edmorley won't be present at the meeting]

• [edmorley] Sheriffing the trees (starring, filing new oranges, backouts backouts & more backouts, tree closures, merging inbound/fx-team/m-c, marking bugs post merges).
• [edmorley] Chasing up/having to work around: buildapi not properly triggering PGO builds (bug 750611), inbound clobberer timing out/form submission broken (bug 749081).
• [edmorley] Dreaded Windows OOM whilst linking came back. Filed bug 750661 for getting workarounds started so the tree could be reopened. Coordinated with build peers, releng & other sheriffs. Peak PGO linker values are not sent to graphserver so resorted to collating last month's worth of values via log inspection (bug 710840). Fixed bug 750717, so that the pgo linker output shows up on TBPL, instead of having to manually inspect each log. Thanks to Ehsan & a few others, we managed to get the tree finally reopened in a day and a half :-) Rough extrapolation implies that the workarounds may only last a month, so bug 709480 is still needed urgently.
• [edmorley] Dealing with CPG landing bustage since bholley/luke/jst didn't want it backed out and were afk for the day (perma-purple bug 751575, almost perma-orange of bug 738803).
• [edmorley] Sheriff policy discussions with Ehsan/Matt/Marco/Philor regarding backouts and whether patch authors should be emailed outside of bugzilla in addition to the bug comments, after an email from a dev who was backed out.

War on Orange

• [edmorley] Now that OrangeFactor collecting data properly again, went through the last week's worth of top oranges, CC'ing devs to bugs with no-one CC'd. Also started pinging developers on IRC for the most frequent orange/purples, particularly the ones that have to be starred by hand due to no TBPL suggestions (and that take up a lot more of my time). Seems to be working already - a fair few oranges fixed in the last week (plus more with patches pending review): Fixed since Mon 30th
• [edmorley] Hounded a new intermittent orange out of the tree (bug 747857), as part of us being more proactive in not letting new tests stay in the tree if they are flaky from the very start.

Talos

• [jmaher] fixed Fennec username as undefined

Mobile Automation
