Minutes

FlightDeck Updates

• dbuc: yesterday kumar ran a script to modify addons that were broken by repack
• script appeared to work but actually didn't, XPIs only had install.rdf
• working to fix script, addons have been restored from backup on production
• meanwhile piotr is updating repacker with versioning script we agreed upon
• if we have further problems, maybe we'll just do repack again

• myk: we have further problems
• kumar ran a script to fix the problems on dev server yesterday late afternoon/early evening
• in testing last night and this morning, that script didn't fix the problems or caused new ones

• dbuc: should we just do repacks again?
• dcm: it's an option, yes; can you test repacks in parallel?
• dbuc: yes
• dcm: then fix the repacker, test it, and if the fixer script is still having problems, it's an option
• -> dbuc to update bug, keep project apprised, and update planners at planning meeting tomorrow

SDK Updates

• gozala: there was a keybindings bug on a problem we thought was a regression in 1.1
• but it turned out that the developer had modified an SDK module, and the repacker broke their modification
• the repacker should take that into account

• gozala: also, there's bug about allowing additional keybindings
• should we cherry-pick that to the stabilization branch?
• myk: does it fix a regression?
• gozala: no
• myk: then it's an enhancement rather than a bug fix
• so let's ship it in the next release off the development branch

• gozala: once we ship it, we should communicate back to the developer of that addon
• that they don't need to modify the SDK's module anymore

• dcm: dbuc, do you have a list of addons that modified hotkey functionality?
• dbuc: i think wil has that list
• myk: in the future, we'll only repack Builder addons, where we don't have to worry about addons modifying the SDK
• but for this first repack, we repacked local addons, so we do have to worry about it
• so if we redo the repack, we need to make sure that the repacker doesn't repack addons that modified the SDK

• canuckistani: when do we expect l10n and mobile support to land?
• ochameau: i don't have any dates
• will update l10n bug shortly
• have mobile patches in queue, first should land soon
• but mobile support is divided into multiple branches

• dcm: our goal is full mobile support by end of year

Bug Update

• kwierso: there are a number of unconfirmed bugs
• some of them are prioritized
• do we care whether bugs are new vs. unconfirmed?

• myk: i think it's useful
• unconfirmed bugs are filed by new users
• we haven't seen their bugs before, not sure about their bug filing skills
• it's useful to have someone check them
• and if it isn't a bug, help them get the support they need
• if it is a bug, but it doesn't have enough info for developer to reproduce and fix, help get that info
• so i think we should keep it
• but we need to make sure to do the work
