Development:Home Page

Contains development docs relating to bugs, triage, patching, etc.

Project Structure

Development:Project Structure describes the structure of the Camino Project and outlines the various contributors responsible for each area.

Building

Development:Building is the current revision of the documentation on building Camino.

Development:Building:Build Errors is a collection of common build errors and solutions.

Development:Third-Party prefPanes contains information to help creators of 3rd-party prefPanes for Camino.

Development:Third-Party Tab Themes contains information to help creators of 3rd-party tab themes for Camino.

Reviewing

Development:Reviewing gives an overview of how reviewing works in the Camino Project. Most of this information will make its way onto caminobrowser.org/development, but the wiki will host the most recent version of those docs.

Working With Bugs

Development:Contributor Overview is a new page that provides an overview of the actual development process for new contributors, pointing to the specifics in other documents. (It should replace this page in some respects.)

Development:Good Bugs and Projects is our start of a "good first bugs" list, as well as some summer-sized Camino and Mac Gecko projects that need love.

Development:Editing_Nibs gives information on how to properly edit nibs and attach them to bugs for review. It also gives basic Camino-specific style guidelines for our nibs.

QA:Keywords & Status Whiteboard explains some of the commonly-used keywords and status whiteboard entries.

See other Quality Assurance pages for related articles which are more targeted towards end-user support and bug triage than towards developers looking to learn about Camino's use of Bugzilla.

Tools

link to tools and explanations; currently links are all to explanations of some degree of usefulness

• LXR/MXR [1]
  • http://mxr.mozilla.org is more advanced (filtering, etc.) than lxr and will replace it soon
    • For trunk, you want the "mozilla" root
    • For Camino 1.1.x (1.8 branch), you want the "mozilla1.8" root
    • For Camino 1.0.x (1.8.0 branch), you want the "mozilla1.8.0" root

    Note that these roots are only updated daily and might be out-of-date if there were lots of checkins since the last update. The "seamonkey" root is updated hourly, but it does not index Camino code (see Bug 367617).

• Bonsai/CVS blame/“the hook” [2]
  • http://bonsai.mozilla.org/cvsquery.cgi?treeid=default&module=Camino&sortby=Date&hours=2&date=day (trunk checkins to code that Camino pulls)
• Tinderbox (???) (tree status, also for perf stuff) [3] MDC doc
  • http://tinderbox.mozilla.org/showbuilds.cgi?tree=Camino (see note below)
• Talkback: Looking at a report/Filing topcrash bugs
  • http://talkback-public.mozilla.org/ (search for crashes or stacks)
  • http://talkback-public.mozilla.org/reports/camino/ (reports)

• Camino oddities:
  • ardissone|away: there's one particularity about the Camino tinderbox
  • ardissone|away: because we show all branches on the same page
  • ardissone|away: the "Guilty" column and the "C" link on each build
  • ardissone|away: are only correct for the trunk
  • ardissone|away: if something regresses or busts on 1.8 or 1.8.0, we have to manually compare the times to bonsai
