[12:07pm] alimony: thought i'd drop in and say hi [12:07pm] cl: good to have you [12:07pm] alimony: good to be here! [12:07pm] cl: and thanks for all the recent patches [12:08pm] alimony: sorry for throwing widget stuff at you [12:08pm] ardissone|away: please do bear with us, as the review queue is slower-than-usual right now [12:08pm] cl: no worries [12:08pm] Wevah: waves [12:08pm] cl: I probably would have done the same thing had I been in your position, especially if the reporter were one of our devs [12:08pm] alimony: i'll work on something else while waiting for reviews [12:08pm] cl: excellent plan. [12:09pm] ardissone|away: pokes ss [12:09pm] ardissone|away: ss: are you awake? [12:09pm] cl: mento: as you probably noticed, I kicked that widget PgUp/PgDn bug to Core and cc'd you in case you have anything to say about it. [12:09pm] ardissone|away: sam said he'd go to be early to make the meeting [12:09pm] cl: alimony: for future reference, Josh is probably a good one to talk to about widget stuff in general [12:10pm] cl: although I wouldn't necessarily always target him for review, since he's pretty busy most of the time. [12:10pm] alimony: yep, noted, thanks for the help [12:10pm] cl: some of the other regulars in #macdev are also widget guys [12:10pm] alimony: i think i'll target hwaara as often as possible [12:10pm] cl: probably not a bad idea [12:10pm] alimony: har har [12:10pm] ardissone|away: hehe [12:10pm] ardissone|away: ok, are we ready? [12:11pm] ardissone|away: 1.6a1 [12:11pm] alimony: (i won't have much to say here, but i will listen and comment if i wonder about something) [12:11pm] ardissone|away: feel free [12:11pm] ardissone|away: the good news is, Talkback is low [12:11pm] ardissone|away: the bad news is, Talkback is low [12:11pm] peeja joined the chat room. [12:11pm] peeja was promoted to operator by you. [12:12pm] cl: heh [12:12pm] ardissone|away: particularly on the crash Tobias reported, which is all over the place on 1.5.4 [12:12pm] smorgan: If everyone switches to Intel, we can be crash-free! [12:12pm] ardissone|away: heh [12:12pm] Wevah: sounds like a plan [12:12pm] ardissone|away: that's true [12:12pm] smorgan: Are we doing a 1.5.5? [12:13pm] ardissone|away: presumably [12:13pm] ardissone|away: presumably it will be ready before 1.6 [12:13pm] ardissone|away: it=Gecko 1.8.1.12 [12:13pm] ardissone|away: since it's scheduled for 5 Feb [12:14pm] ardissone|away: 1.5.5 should be our last 1.5.x [12:14pm] ardissone|away: knocks on wood [12:14pm] ardissone|away: which brings me back to 1.6b1 [12:15pm] ardissone|away: ss proposed over the break that we do a 1.6b1 "soon" and push the real feature/l10n freeze to a 1.6b2 [12:15pm] ardissone|away: so that we get more testing in, specifically another chance for swupdate [12:16pm] ardissone|away: he's not here to speak for it and i don't recall all the details of the proposal [12:16pm] ardissone|away: which makes it a bit hard to discuss [12:17pm] ardissone|away: smorgan, mento: any initial thoughts? [12:17pm] smorgan: I'm fine either way [12:17pm] mento: wfm [12:17pm] ardissone|away: k [12:18pm] ardissone|away: i thought it was reasonable [12:18pm] mento: i'm also fine without a 1.5.5 [12:18pm] mento: but i'm fine with it too [12:18pm] mento: we should do a 1.5.5 if we make 1.6 10.3.9-only [12:18pm] ardissone|away: mhm [12:19pm] ardissone|away: that Core bug's still sitting in holiday review morass? [12:20pm] ardissone|away: so [12:21pm] ardissone|away: if we do a b1/b2, which of the in-progress features will be ready in a week-or-two for it? [12:21pm] cl: wonders where jeff is [12:21pm] ardissone|away: dentist [12:21pm] cl: ah [12:21pm] ardissone|away: he said he'd make hwaara's changes [12:21pm] ardissone|away: and planned a new patch by Fri [12:21pm] smorgan: Depending on batwood's time, multiple accounts will be [12:22pm] smorgan: it's really close, and I'm at the point where I can review new versions quickly [12:22pm] ardissone|away: [12:22pm] ardissone|away: how's your time look wrt the search patches? [12:23pm] smorgan: I'm hoping to plow through all my reviews this week, since I didn't get to it before break as I'd hoped [12:23pm] ardissone|away: [12:23pm] smorgan: I'd like to not have them hanging over me as a begin the new year [12:24pm] smorgan: So maybe those as well, depending on how reviews look [12:24pm] ardissone|away: [12:24pm] ardissone|away: sam's contacted some designers, at least about making our toolbar icons a little more 10.5-friendly [12:25pm] ardissone|away: mostly along the lines of doing these things: http://www.thinkmac.co.uk/blog/2007/12/designing-toolbar-icons-for-leopard.html [12:25pm] ardissone|away: and getting them in larger sizes [12:25pm] ardissone|away: but not completely new icons, etc, like in a firefox refresh [12:26pm] cl: heh [12:26pm] ardissone|away: peeja's back from class and will be taking on his bugs [12:26pm] ardissone|away: as soon as he gets a tree working [12:27pm] You are now known as ardissone. [12:28pm] ardissone: b2 will be our feature and l10n freeze now, so any string/nib changes need to be in by then [12:28pm] ardissone: we're starting to dig into that stuff now [12:28pm] ardissone: the other thing we really, really want for b2 is breakpad [12:29pm] alimony left the chat room. (Connection reset by peer) [12:29pm] ardissone: so that even if we all move to Intel, we won't be crash-free [12:29pm] alimony joined the chat room. [12:29pm] ardissone: which partially depends on cloning smorgan [12:30pm] smorgan: Still right near the top of my list [12:30pm] ardissone: although if all else fails, the Core one is much less sucky now and could perhaps be easily converted back to real Cocoa l10n [12:31pm] smorgan: It seems a bit overwhelming, but I guess we can refine UI once we have something working [12:31pm] ardissone: the new version, or the old one? [12:32pm] smorgan: The new, if it's what I saw screenshots of [12:32pm] ardissone: new as in, thing i gave ted 20+ comments on this weekend [12:32pm] smorgan: 4 checkboxes, two text fields, and a of text? [12:32pm] smorgan: er, a lot of [12:32pm] ardissone: yeah [12:32pm] smorgan: I guess I should cc myself on that bug [12:33pm] ardissone: anyone else have anything on 1.6 features? [12:34pm] cl: mento: should I try to do the de-Geckoizing of History for 1.6? [12:34pm] cl: since that's strings code and will affect l10n (although not in the sense that we'll need new strings) [12:34pm] mento: cl: it's pretty easy [12:34pm] mento: and i think that's another one where i pretty much said what to do in a comment [12:35pm] mento: so if you can get to it [12:35pm] cl: Yeah, I'm going to try to knock that out ASAP [12:35pm] mento: doesn't really have any user impact though [12:35pm] cl: right [12:36pm] alimony was promoted to operator by you. [12:37pm] ardissone: ok, tinderboxen [12:37pm] ardissone: i think there's no news here [12:37pm] mento: wrong [12:37pm] mento: news as of 10 minutes ago [12:37pm] ardissone: oh, good [12:37pm] mento: swapped vine server out for ard on mini-binus01 (which i'd like to call "minus"), works [12:37pm] mento: it's now accessible [12:38pm] ardissone: [12:38pm] ardissone: mini-binus (minus for short) is our 10.3 box for the 1_5 branch [12:39pm] ardissone: mini-mayaTrunk is supposed to be going in the colo "after christmas" last i heard [12:40pm] ardissone: also, fwiw [12:40pm] ardissone: a quick hack: http://www.ardisson.org/smokey/moz/perf.html [12:40pm] ardissone: based on jonath's thingy [12:40pm] ardissone: ok, on to bugs!

[12:44pm] cl: hey, you never know... [12:44pm] smorgan: I'm happy to rip it out [12:44pm] cl: maybe Vicki Brown likes being nagged. [12:45pm] cl: She'll never use Camino 1.6 again! [12:46pm] cl: and yes, I pretty much agree with you guys. I don't see much point in keeping that pref [12:46pm] cl: if we're going to turn it off [12:46pm] cl: mento-question, though: why do we cap "Web Browser" and "Feed Viewer" like they're proper names there? [12:47pm] smorgan: Unless Safari starts stealing, I don't think the slamming protection will buy us much [12:47pm] ardissone: they're fragments [12:47pm] ardissone: not sentences [12:47pm] ardissone: we have a whole guide on this [12:47pm] cl: we don't have periods after the sentences [12:47pm] thebot: Firefox: 'WINNT 5.2 qm-win2k3-01 dep unit test' has changed state from Success to Burning. [12:48pm] ardissone: mento: do you still object? [12:48pm] cl: hurry up and object if you do, 'cause my battery is running low [12:48pm] alimony left the chat room. (Ping timeout) [12:49pm] ardissone: and markus's pings are running long [12:49pm] ardissone: moving on to Bug 394651, and mento can object later if he re-appears [12:49pm] thebot: MozillaTest: 'Linux Sisyphus js' has changed state from Burning to Test Failed. [12:49pm] cl: that one's ready for chicken [12:49pm] cl: but not on branch, cause the patch never made it to branch AFAICT [12:49pm] ardissone: er [12:49pm] ardissone: thebot: bug Bug 394651 [12:50pm] thebot: New build added to MozillaTest: WinXP qm-leak-winxp01 dep Leak+Unit test (status: Burning).

[12:50pm] ardissone: is there any chance of that nspr fix making it on the branch, or should we make the bug trunk-only? [12:52pm] alimony left the chat room. (Connection reset by peer) [12:52pm] alimony_ joined the chat room. [12:53pm] ardissone: ok, how about Bug 410193 ?

[12:53pm] alimony_ left the chat room. [12:54pm] smorgan: can't think of one [12:54pm] ardissone: ok [12:54pm] ardissone: Bug 154580 [12:54pm] thebot: ardissone: Bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=154580 enh, --, ---, torben@Spamfence.net, NEW, Save URL of downloaded documents in comment (Mac filesystem metadata) [12:55pm] cl: ok, I'm about out of juice [12:55pm] ardissone: basically, we can do this easily on 10.4 and up now [12:55pm] peeja left the chat room. (Quit: peeja) [12:55pm] cl: I think I've contributed all I can to the meeting anyway, so...yeah. [12:55pm] ardissone: advantages are it's editable/copyable vs WhereFrom, which is not (and is hidden) [12:55pm] cl left the chat room. (Quit: flying) [12:56pm] ardissone: i'd obviously like to see it [12:57pm] jeff joined the chat room. [12:57pm] smorgan: Is there any reason not to? [12:58pm] ardissone: "redundancy" [12:58pm] ardissone: i'm not really aware of one [12:59pm] smorgan: Then let's do it unless it turns out to be messy [12:59pm] ardissone: k [12:59pm] thebot: Build 'Mac (PPC) Sisyphus branch js' has dropped from the 'MozillaTest' tinderbox. [12:59pm] ardissone: anything else? [1:00pm] Wevah: the only issue i ran into (doing it for paparazzi) is i had to wait a split second before writing the comment or i'd sometimes lock up the finder [1:00pm] Wevah: via the appleevents way [1:00pm] Wevah: thatis [1:00pm] smorgan: We wouldn't be using AE [1:00pm] ardissone: i think mento means we're doing this via the LS way [1:00pm] ardissone: LS/mds [1:01pm] ardissone: yeah [1:01pm] Wevah: does that work on 10.3.x, or is this just for 10.4 only? [1:01pm] ardissone: 10.4 only [1:02pm] ardissone: [1:02pm] Wevah: i should probably re-read the bug too; i'm @ work and working [1:03pm] ardissone: ok [1:03pm] ardissone: last call on this week [1:04pm] thebot: Just appeared in Planet Mozilla - http://planet.mozilla.org/ : [1:04pm] You kicked thebot from the chat room.
