18:15:01 <PieroV> If I leave the building tonight I'll have them for tomorrow early
18:15:11 <PieroV> * leave the PC building
18:19:03 <richard> ok anyway, i'm doing a test linux alph abuild on tb-build-05
18:19:19 <richard> should be done in ~1 hour or so
18:19:22 <PieroV> okay
18:19:37 <richard> if it works and i didn't mess anything up w/ the las tminute changes i'll push/sign/tag
18:19:43 <richard> and we can build overnight
18:20:00 <richard> email qa tomorrow morning
18:20:31 <richard> ok, so what are the remaining must haves for 11.5?
18:21:08 <PieroV> S96: links in the help buttons (I forgot to do them earlier, so won't be ready for this alpha), we may want to confirm the emoji list
18:21:18 <richard> the calendar currently has 11.5 as being the next stable (so sometime in July making the current alpha stable)
18:21:51 <richard> so if there's anything major that we need to get in we'll have to push it back
18:22:24 <richard> we also need to swap out the URLs for the tor-browser manual
18:22:30 <donuts> I was talking to isa on Friday about nabbing an all-hands towards the end of the month to do some mass testing
18:22:42 <donuts> and we can pull the plug if anything disastrous is discovered
18:22:46 <richard> though maybe not all of them, since we currently only package en-US (right?)
18:23:06 <PieroV> package what?
18:23:11 <richard> the tor-browser manual
18:23:21 <PieroV> No, we package in all languages, or that was the intention
18:23:45 <PieroV> Actually, we add all the languages, and then decide which one to use in runtime
18:23:59 <richard> hmm
18:24:04 <PieroV> So, if we inject the directory only in en-US I did something wrong
18:24:07 <richard> i do recall seeing that code
18:24:23 <richard> well all I know is that my NL tor-browser alpha build has the en-US manual
18:24:37 <PieroV> Maybe we don't have NL manual
18:24:42 <richard> that could also be
18:24:49 <donuts> lol
18:25:08 <richard> probably a low priority translation target :p
18:25:15 <PieroV> We don't have a NL manual
18:25:27 <richard> ok great
18:25:31 <richard> i'll try spanish next time
18:25:41 <richard> but in that case yeah we should swap out all the links then
18:26:37 <PieroV> Then we have a few minor things, like an error in the console
18:26:44 <emmapeel> yes, not a very acgive dutch translation group
18:26:53 <PieroV> richard: also, did you have a look at the branding problem in the update popup?
18:26:55 <emmapeel> although very vocal
18:27:13 <richard> I have not
18:27:34 <PieroV> We have tor-browser#40914
18:28:15 <richard> right it shows Firefox instead of Tor Browser
18:28:40 <PieroV> But I don't remember what it shows in the alphas, though
18:28:46 <PieroV> If it's 11.0.x yolo, imho
18:28:53 <richard> at this rate i probably won't get to it until tomorrow at the earliest
18:31:36 <richard> ok added it to my actual todo list
18:32:36 <richard> i don't actually know what we have done in the past regarding a free before the next major release
18:33:02 <richard> seems like having a few weeks of no more non-trivial patches seems like a great plan
18:33:28 <PieroV> okay, sounds good
18:33:34 <richard> I'm also not looking forward to drafting that ChagneLog.txt
18:33:37 <donuts> i'm trying to prompt the update prompt
18:33:47 <donuts> alas, it does not want to be prompted
18:34:02 <PieroV> Uhm. Maybe we can force it to come out on code ;)
18:34:20 <donuts> I guess it only phones home once every so often?
18:34:28 <donuts> I vaguely remember 12hrs being a thing, maybe?
18:34:29 <PieroV> 12 hours
18:34:32 <donuts> aha
18:34:54 <richard> you can make it phone home by opening the about dialog
18:34:55 <donuts> ah okay I opened and closed the about window, that seemed to do the trick
18:35:27 <donuts> wait the problem is that skips the prompt
18:35:37 <donuts> because it initiates the download immediately
18:35:48 <PieroV> You can disable it, I think
18:36:12 <PieroV> No, maybe it downloads them anyway
18:36:23 <richard> i get the 'Downloading Tor Browser Update' indicator in the hamburger menu
18:36:29 <richard> (on an older alpha)
18:36:33 <donuts> yeah I thought I could quickly cancel it, but the browser was too clever
18:37:08 <donuts> okay so we need to force TB to phone home without starting the download automatically
18:40:04 <richard> yeah the download just starts automatically when left to its own devices
18:40:31 <richard> ah I see
18:40:36 <richard> there's an option i about:preferences
18:40:42 <richard> this person has altered the defaults >:[
18:42:15 <richard> happy to report it is working correctly in alpha
18:42:30 <donuts> ahhhh
18:42:42 <donuts> well that's handy
18:42:53 <richard> as of 11.5a6
18:42:55 <richard> anyway
18:44:05 <richard> https://share.riseup.net/#esD7BnMkJxK1e1MoVm9GqQ
18:44:43 <PieroV> Great
18:44:45 <richard> anything else we need to cover?
18:44:51 <PieroV> No, I don't think so
18:46:30 <richard> alright
18:46:32 <richard> o/
18:46:35 <PieroV> Thanks!
