Ecosystem

  • <ateam> (mdas, jgriffin, ahal) - updated 10/2
    • This week:
      • Update server updated with stable channel: http://update.boot2gecko.org/stable/update.xml. Builds are manually promoted from nightly to stable.
      • Marionette fixed from last week's breakage.
      • Continuing to work on getting emulator tests running in TBPL; we intend to have tests running on the 'cedar' branch for testing next week. After we resolve any problems that appear, we'll promote to other branches. You can follow the progress at bug 789652.
      • Adding more a-team resources to B2G.
    • Last week:
      • Update server producing nightly updates; stable updates coming as soon as we determine a url and a mechanism for promoting nightly updates to stable
      • Marionette broken by a remote debugger change; working on fixing; bug 793760
      • We're very close to having Marionette in TBPL which will prevent this problem in the future
      • Continuing work on getting emulator tests in TBPL, adapting our automation to pandas, and getting automated Eideticker runs
  • <QA team> (Geo, John)

Updater blockers:

    • bug 794211 - [OTA update] never receive update notification using nightly builds
    • bug 791829 - [OTA update] No way of resuming a stopped/partial update
      • dogfooding.. dogfood what?

Crash reporting?:

    • bug 791380
    • https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia/issues/4821
    • This week:
    • Last week:
      • Cleaning up iteration 1 of sanity smoketest suite produced by sprint. Have sanity checks for ~10 areas. Looking to have suite working in B2G CI and up for review by EOW.
      • Taking a second 1.5 week iteration to add any other automatable APIs to sanity suite.
      • Working on getting existing mochitests vetted for failures in B2G CI and ported.
      • Conversation between perms project and WebAPI devs revealed more complexity to the testing: need to test APIs w/ a range of different appStatus and with four different perms manager responses. Reworking existing approach to account.
    • QUESTION: when can QA get a dogfood device and a build to vet prior to wider distribution?
      • Have successfully done a happy path OTA pass against a 9/24->9/25 build! -- bugs: bug 791829, bug 791836
    • Apps - Nothing much to report

Note:

  • <product team> (Chris Lee)
    • This week:
    • Last week:
  • <PMO team> (Kevin Hu, Dietrich, Michael)
    • This week:
      • ensuring all gaia blockers have feature label
      • generating projects from LOE estimates
      • driving remaining feature work to zero
    • Last week:
  • <Release Management> (Alex Keybl, Lukas Blakk, Bhavana Bajaj)
    • This week:
      • Migration to Bugzilla from GitHub for bugs is now complete
      • Review of landing policies (r+, tests, when to ask for a+)
      • Ehsan's post on b2g-platform about FF18 as Gecko base
      • jgriffin now has OTA update working for Nightly/Stable channels
      • about:crashes needed for QA (bug 791380)
      • Can we combine Gecko/Gaia for human readable B2G version?
      • Still awaiting dogfooding phone shipment (in transit)
    • Last Week:
      • Sign ups being collected for B2G Test Drivers (over 200 MV/TO/SF already signed up)
      • Working on sign off for SIM card/phone plan expensing, getting SD cards to eb able to test music/camera/video
      • OTA working!!!
        • Jgriffin working on creating the stable channel, we'll need an update channel (stable or nightly) for B2G Test Drivers using unagi builds [also Jgriffin?]
      • To get the devices to people we only need the following:
        • Michael Wu to test initializing a device from the shipment that arrives this week to make sure the update script is working properly on these devices -- then we can start having IT and Desktop Support unboxing/preparing devices
        • QA -- Test plan to run on a newly installed device from this shipment before starting full deployment plan [Geo]
        • Confim ability and instructions for setting a config pref on the device as dogfood.prerelease.id so we can get this hooked into update pings and crash reports as soon as possible
        • Feedback app still needs to be part of a default unagi build and tested with the API - this app will be included by default in all B2G builds until we ship - people who are not in B2G Test Drivers can still submit to our app [Vivien]
  • Developer Documentation (sheppy)
    • This week:
    • Please keep me posted as APIs settle down and are ready to be documented
    • Scott Rowe from Google is driving WebAPI documentation; we are also bringing in a contractor to work on WebAPI documentation specifically
    • As always:
    • Don't forget to add the dev-doc-needed keyword to any bugs that even might affect developer docs (whether device integration developers, Gecko developers, or web developers). You don't have to wait until the bug is fixed. We have tools to track this, and using it will get things done faster.
    • Feel free to ping me on IRC (sheppy) or by email (eshepherd@mozilla.com) with questions, requests, or suggestions.
  • On Github, use devDocNeeded label (current open issues: http://j.mp/NTBybM )
    • For example, make sure everything API-related you talk about in these meetings have the keyword.
  • <Release Engineering> (Joduinn) - Updated on 02oct
    • Last week:
      • progress on contractual details of how-to-do-updates
      • gonk vs gecko vs moz-gaia vs other-gaia updates
        • who can make source changes has consequences on who can generate updates
      • b2g builds on emulator-with-codecs; bug 789652
   note: aki, jgriffins vacations next week.
