To Do - from last week

  • Rick: there is a possibility of resource shortage for TB 3.0a1 because of timing of FF releases. Rick is going to find out about build schedule, machine availability, QA and ftp issues for TB 3.0a1.
  • Everyone: a code name needed for TB alpha1. Name ideas should be posted and discussed on newsgroup, possibly this week.

Completed

  • Previous bug day (17 April 2008)
    • Low turnout.
    • But high numbers of triaging per volunteer / developer.
      • We are still in triple digit numbers of bugs changed.
      • Let's keep up the momentum!

Thunderbird:Thunderbird_3.0a1

  • Driving
    • Code freeze tonight at 2359h PDT

Roundtable

rick:

  • Thunderbird 2.0.0.14 build is underway
  • resourcing (qa, machines) for Thunderbird 3.0a1 will be trumped by any FF build needs

asuth (Andrew Sutherland):

  • blockers worked on:
    • opaque drag-and-drop gtk2 thunderbird blocker bug 422700 fix by using the workaround provided by bug 376238. Implemented a haunted prototype fix for bug 376238. Haunted in that the transparent dragging would sometimes work the first time, but never any time after that. Spent a fair amount of time trying to figure out why this happened, but eventually gave up.
    • command-shift-M for move again busted on OS X blocker bug 428062 fix by bumping it to option-command-M; there was a collision with command-shift-M for new message. Much thanks to philor.
  • random bugs (bug-day) that got a lot of focus:
    • investigated why text/html paste from netbeans didn't work on bug 395218, turns out the gtk2 widget nsClipboard code really wants to see UTF-16 0xfe 0xff hint bytes or an explicit charset in the payload or it ignores it. Also, it doesn't consider the possibility of targets with explicit charsets in the actual target atom. Moved to core/widget:gtk.
  • performance work:
    • currently generating a trace against Standard8's bloat-test automation, but (of course) with all the bloat test stuff turned off.
    • figured out why dtrace probes were double-firing bug 403132; turns out the Apple linker magic gets confused with -dead_strip enabled. Only documented the work-around thus far; will at least provide an ugly patch.
    • in the process of trying to ensure accuracy of time-attribution by using/augmenting the patch from bug 407542 so we get XPConnect js_Invoke calls too. General accuracy-wise, it looks like the function names reported (when they are reported) are sufficiently unreliable that it's better to just use the line-numbers that are (more) reliably reported and we can use thanks to our quasi-fancy parsing. (Based on existing bugs like bug 422864, it sounds like a non-trivial fix for me to pursue for now.)
