• Notes: Mihaela

Last Weeks Action Items

• [DONE] [Andrei] Check Mozmill Automation how Mercurial returns the exit code for all platforms in case 'hg pull' fails (see github mozmill-ci issue under blockers)
  • mercurial should only return 0 for success and 1 for failure
  • I have however found a few occurrences in its source code that it might:
    • when using graft (aka cherry-pick or backport) we might return -1 http://selenic.com/hg/file/1c92524c37cd/mercurial/commands.py#l2998
    • when attempting a push, we might return 2 http://selenic.com/hg/file/1c92524c37cd/mercurial/commands.py#l4715
  • I don't know why we need these. From what I've read we as long as we get 0 we should be fine. Any other return code should be treated as an Error.
• [CARRY OVER] [Dave] Look into recording weekly meetings (chase Geo for documentation)
• [NEW] [Henrik] Update meeting page for new format
  • Wiki transition will happen by next year so we will have our last meeting this year in the old format
• [NEW] [Dave] Update the 'How to handle a meeting' wiki page for recording and publishing the video
