Ecosystem
- <ateam> (mdas, jgriffin, ahal) - updated 10/9
- This week:
- Working on getting emulator tests running on TBPL on the cedar branch this week; WebAPI tests to be first, followed by reftests and mochitests
- Mochitests currently broken due to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=798580. We'll probably have to change the way mochitests are run on B2G.
- Work on mochitest-chrome postponed due to the above.
- Work on getting xpcshell tests running is progressing; https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=797162, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790677.
- Trying to get WebAPI Telephony tests working again; https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=792647.
- Work continues to figuring out how to deal with pandas in remote automation, particularly flashing, power cycling, and keeping the same IP address between reboots.
- Figuring out the process we'll need to use to mirror testing changes to aurora.
- Unagi nightly builds updated with new boot.img and backup-unagi files from mwu.
- There is no pending update server work, AFAIK, except to support QA and the other teams as they test changes.
- Last 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 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=789652.
- Adding more a-team resources to B2G.
- This week:
- <QA team> (Geo, Tony)
- Gaia QA updates at: https://etherpad.mozilla.org/gaia-meeting-notes
- This week:
BLOCKERS:
- https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=798980 - Crash when opening an inline Activity
- https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=798304 - Cant specify sub directories for videos in CameraControl API
- Other functionality blockers highlighted last week in quality report. how can we escalate bugs that havent gotten traction in > 2 days? (eg. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=795623 took 7 days to fix and land)
Mochitest Dependencies (fixes in progress, need to make their way to aurora)
- Mochitest broken: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=799288
- Need default geolocation in emulator: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=797513
- Need sdcard mounted in emulator: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=799709
CONCERNS:
- How does the move to Aurora affect:
- Process for checking in new tests?
- Lag time on normal framework fixes/improvements
- Lag time on expedited (blocker) framework fixes/improvements
- How does the move to Aurora affect:
STATUS:
- All sanity suite code checked into https://github.com/geoelectric/webapi-smoke-sprint. Putting in minor fixes to make the tests portable within the tree, otherwise blocked on mochitest/emulator blockers above.
- Perms meeting notes at https://etherpad.mozilla.org/permtesting-20121003. Current challenges being worked on are getting the framework running under OOP, and generating apps w/ the various permissons needed. Latter preferably would be done at runtime. Ongoing effort to get behavioral documentation from developers (ptheriault's request). Mochitest-chrome also a dependency.
- Next project is doing targeted vetting and porting of existing CI tests to B2G, following the priority list at https://wiki.mozilla.org/B2G/QA/WebAPI_Test_Plan
- Apps - Nothing new to report

- BLOCKED:
- https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=795623 <-- MP3, MPEG-4, AAC Not Recognized
- no camera video recording yet
- Last-remaining bug to unblock Web QA from writing Gaia automation: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790470 Landed in Gaia as of 6 hours ago, end to end web automation is now possible to do!
Updater blockers:

- https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia/issues/4821
- Sanity suite at https://github.com/geoelectric/webapi-smoke-sprint. Continuing to get running reliably under B2G mochitest, and finishing out areas this week.
- Recent code changes (e.g., https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=773886 ) to firm up security model have also made test setup tricky. Meeting tomorrow re: perms testing.
- Dclarke has started etherpad collecting techniques for testing (and testing around) b2g permissions model: https://etherpad.mozilla.org/b2g-mochitest-permissions

Blockers to distributing tester phones:
- Need to provide final instructions & scripts for Desktop to start preparing the bulk of the devices for deploying to individual testers (mwu,lukas)
- Stable updates process firmed up & making it possible for QA to do testing on the stable update channel end to end update between builds (jgriffin/tchung)

- Convergence:
- We're moving /all/ Gecko development/builds up to FF18 on mozilla-aurora (landing process)
- All blocking-basecamp+ bugs will soon have a priority, LOE, and an assignee or somebody responsible for finding an assignee
- Bug priorities: P1/P2/P3, P1 with severity:critical is basically P0 do now
- Be on the lookout for needs-info?:you
- Discussing with engineering managers about creation of a GitHub hook for bug # inclusion, r=, a=, etc.
- Builds/Updates:
- Still planning to meet with OEMs/Carriers about current proposal of OEM-owned updates
- Risks to current proposal are basically Security bugs (0-daying ourselves), cadence of updates, and control over updating v1 to v2
- Last 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

- Developer Documentation (sheppy)
- This week:
- Firefox OS architecture overview on MDN: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox_OS/Architecture -- please review and amend as needed
- Firefox OS security model overview on MDN: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox_OS/Security/Security_model -- please review and amend as needed
- 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.

- Predictive Text (Gregor, Christoph, djf)
- landed: ui fixes
- djf owns this module now
- Camera (Mike Habicher) - Updated on 10/09 - unable to attend tonight
- This Week:
- bug 798304: can't record video into files with paths, e.g. "100MZFFO/VID_0001.3gp"
- nsIFile.Append --> nsIFile.AppendRelativePath; patch posted, awaiting review
- camera app is still responsible for creating intermediate subfolders!
- POTENTIAL SECURITY ISSUE: it's possible to tell the camera to record video to (e.g.) "../system/bin/b2g"
- I can assemble and break up the path and run the folder name through realpath() to make sure its prefix matches the DeviceStorage area, but there's still a race between the realpath() and the open() call which could be exploited
- bug 795090: limit maximum size of recorded file (current video recorder will fill your uSD card)
- bug 795202: expose container type to JS (currently JS must supply ".3gp" extension)
- bug 795330: configure recorder preview (currently uses default values, ignoring options from JS)
- bug 795332: "record-size" option may be deprecated in favour of "video-size"
- bug 795379: expose recorder profiles to JS (currently only records at 352x288)
- bug 798304: can't record video into files with paths, e.g. "100MZFFO/VID_0001.3gp"

- experiments with MCE (see page 10: http://www.express-imaging.com/support/manuals/i2e_TechnicalDescription_RevA.pdf ) showed no improvement
- other settings are pretty heavy-handed, and the default seems to produce the "best" results so far
- updated camera.js to a patch so it can be applied to latest gaia (instead of replacing it)
- bug 789067: clean up extraneous abstract ICameraControl class
- This Week:
