Major Topics for This Week

Target String Freeze for Fx16
We need to audit the list of potential uplifts to Aurora for string related changes. The big areas are WebAppRT and Reader. We want to take control and start limiting strings changes.
ARMv6 Builds
We are still trying to gather as much testing data as possible about our ARMv6 builds. We have a goal of release Firefox to a limited set of ARMv6 devices for Fx16 and need the data to help define the set of allowable devices.
Unblocking Flash on Tegra2 Devices
Again, more testing data is needed to determine if the quiality of Flash on the currently blocked tegra2 devices is good enough to unblock.

Stand ups

Suggested format:

  • What did you do last week?
  • What are working on this week?
  • Anything blocking you?

Please keep your update to under 2 minutes!

I have an appointment today and will likely miss this meeting.

  • Most Android tests are now hidden, due to excessive failure rates: see bug 777436. (Android tests are still run. To see them, add &noignore=1 to your tbpl URL, or click "Show all Android tests" on tbpl.)
  • I have been working on OOM failures during mochitests: bug 775227. Certain tests seem to cause OOM; disabling them seems to improve mochitest pass rates.
  • There are also frequent Tegra reboots during tests (bug 771626). A-Team hopes to deploy a fix for that today.
  • Next week: Continue to isolate OOM failures in mochitests and get more tests un-hidden.
