19:01:14 <GeKo> hi all!
19:01:23 <mcs> greetings!
19:01:50 <GeKo> let's get started with status updates
19:02:08 <boklm> hi!
19:02:16 <GeKo> we can have a discussion about the planning for 7.0a3 after that
19:02:25 <GeKo> (i.e. the first alpha based on esr52)
19:02:45 <arthuredelstein> hi!
19:03:05 <GeKo> ok. last week i tested the rbm-based build system. i still need to add my notes to a ticket. i hope i get to that this week
19:03:26 <GeKo> then i reviewed a bunch of firefox versions for new features and stuff.
19:04:01 <GeKo> i did not finish that one yet but opened tickets for firefox 46/47 things
19:04:23 <GeKo> i prepared releases and today i signed All The Things
19:04:45 <tjr> a while ago I pasted a bunch of prefs we should look at. is this a good time to repaste that into the ticket?
19:04:59 <GeKo> i spent some time dealing with #21514
19:05:22 <GeKo> tjr: i am aware of that and plan to go over your things and put them into tickets where needed
19:05:32 <tjr> okay cool
19:06:07 <GeKo> this week i hope to get a review of #20680 done and work further on #19048
19:06:23 <GeKo> trying to file the remaining tickets for esr52 work
19:06:45 <GeKo> then i get back to toolchain work to finally update our gitian descriptors for the esr52 switch
19:07:09 <GeKo> and i need to work on slides for a talk about tor browser i signed up for a while ago.
19:07:25 <GeKo> i'll help with the release where needed
19:07:29 <GeKo> that's it for me
19:08:23 * arthuredelstein can go
19:08:33 <arthuredelstein> Last week I wrote patches for #21514,
19:08:43 <arthuredelstein> #21555, and #21547.
19:08:53 <arthuredelstein> I submitted https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1344613
19:09:38 <arthuredelstein> And I had my weekly meeting with the Tor uplift team, who are starting to move on to fingerprinting patches now.
19:09:55 <arthuredelstein> This week I will keep working on ESR52-related patches.
19:10:02 <arthuredelstein> that's all for me
19:10:25 <GeKo> what#s your plan with #20905?
19:11:11 <arthuredelstein> Ah yes, I started looking at that this morning. I haven't figured out what caused the problem you saw yet.
19:11:34 <arthuredelstein> But hopefully I can figure that out and fix it.
19:12:07 <arthuredelstein> The exception coding exception on the terminal is unrelated, though, I think
19:12:12 <GeKo> okay.
19:14:00 * mcs will go now
19:14:08 <mcs> Last week, Kathy and I worked on a revised fix for #20761 but did not finish (parsing torrc is somewhat messy).
19:14:14 <mcs> We also reviewed and tested the patches for #21396 and #21514.
19:14:20 <mcs> We filed #21267 after doing some investigation.
19:14:32 <mcs> And we finalized plans for me to travel to Amsterdam for the Tor Meeting.
19:14:38 <mcs> This week, we plan to finish the revised patch for #20761.
19:14:44 <mcs> We will review some patches.
19:14:49 <mcs> We will also review the Firefox 52 developer notes and bug lists later this week (for #19048).
19:14:54 <mcs> And we plan to complete the Trac replacement survey; hopefully there is still time.
19:14:59 <mcs> If we finish all of that, we will look at #19316.
19:15:06 <mcs> That’s all for us.
19:17:34 * boklm can go next
19:17:50 <boklm> This week I fixed some bugs in rbm-based build system. On #17380 I started adding snowflake (which I can now builds on linux64, however not yet on linux32).
19:18:02 <boklm> I helped build the new releases. I fixed #20949. I had to quickly reinstall my build machine today due to some unexpected problems with it this morning.
19:18:10 <boklm> This week I'm planning to work on #21404 to add snowflake, fteproxy, obsfproxy. Publish the new releases tomorrow.
19:18:21 <boklm> Look at the missing screenshots in the Windows tests, and restart the rbm-based nightly builds.
19:18:25 <boklm> That's it for me.
19:19:14 <tjr> I can go.
19:19:43 <GeKo> boklm: did you find out what is causing the linux64 differences?
19:20:04 <GeKo> and did the os x build match? or were there differences as well?
19:20:45 <boklm> GeKo: I did not find yet
19:22:14 <tjr> I still haven't gotten my build machine but I started looking at the mingw stuff again anyway. Have found a few new issues I've opened/opening (like https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1344809 ) and am working on.
19:22:50 <tjr> Other than that, nothing much to report. Pwn2Own is coming up in a week and a half, so we can expect a patch release of FF then
19:23:25 <GeKo> yeah, although i hope the bug might be in Firefox > 45
19:24:38 <GeKo> tjr: so, the most pressing issue you might be able to help with is #16010
19:24:53 <GeKo> jacek has not written back and the options seems limited
19:25:22 <GeKo> one thing i wonder is whether the mozilla folks working on sandboxing code have some ideas for shortcuts
19:25:41 <GeKo> like: what are things we really, really need of those that are missing
19:25:54 <GeKo> and what are those we could somehow work around
19:26:13 <GeKo> in case we can't fix them in time
19:26:51 <tjr> Okay I will look at that closely today or tomorrow
19:27:01 <GeKo> thanks
19:27:17 <GeKo> okay, who else is here for a status update?
19:28:18 <GeKo> then let's move on to discussion time
19:29:34 <GeKo> first as tjr mentioned pwn2own is coming and with some luck we need to make a release immediately before the dev meeting or during it
19:30:48 <GeKo> i think about including the fix for #21555 in that case but there won't be much more new into such a point release
19:30:59 <GeKo> then on to the esr52 planning
19:31:11 <GeKo> i've tagged relevant tickets with tbb-7.0-must
19:31:31 <GeKo> those are the ones i'd like to see finished for the next alpha
19:31:41 <GeKo> there are those that are concerned with our own stuff
19:31:56 <GeKo> and then there are those that are concerned with new, invasive APIs
19:32:16 <GeKo> there are likely some more coming into the latter category
19:32:44 <GeKo> please assign the tickets you plan to work on to yourself so others can see that
19:33:08 <GeKo> boklm: i guess you won't have so many tickets to work on out of tbb-7.0-must
19:33:23 <GeKo> but i thought about#18530
19:33:29 <GeKo> #18530
19:34:01 <GeKo> and then i guess reviewing my patches for the gitian stuff
19:34:19 <GeKo> i might hand over some of that to you, not sure yet
19:34:23 <boklm> ok, I can do that
19:34:41 <GeKo> i think #19316 could fall into something you could work on as well
19:35:09 <GeKo> might be some coordination with mcs/brade that's needed
19:35:47 <GeKo> are there any questions, concerns etc. with that? or does that sound like a plan?
19:35:47 <boklm> ok
19:36:05 <GeKo> (that's basically to all in this meeting not just boklm)
19:36:30 <GeKo> my goal is to get nightly builds with esr52 up as soon as possible
19:36:50 <GeKo> to have more time for catching critical issues for the alpha
19:37:14 <mcs> Sounds okay to me.
19:37:30 <arthuredelstein> me too
19:37:31 <mcs> boklm: let us know if you start working on #19316
19:37:43 <boklm> mcs: ok
19:39:07 <GeKo> alright. we effectively only have 5 weeks for those tasks (due to the dev meeting). i guess it will be tricky to get all in shape as we want it but we'll see
19:39:32 <GeKo> doing another alpha 2 or 3 weeks later might help in that case
19:39:34 <mikeperry> GeKo: I reviewed the design doc btw. I uploaded a patch to the ticket. it has a question in it under XXX:.
19:40:00 <GeKo> mikeperry: yeah, i have a needs_information item on the ticket for you
19:40:19 <GeKo> i feel my text was "jus" misleadin but i am not sure
19:40:24 <GeKo> *just
19:40:29 <GeKo> *misleading
19:40:48 <GeKo> okay.
19:41:01 <GeKo> do we have any other items for discussion today?
19:42:09 <mcs> nothing from me
19:42:31 <GeKo> okay, i don't hear anything. thanks all then *baf*
