Ecosystem

  • <ateam> (mdas, jgriffin, ahal) - updated 10/16
    • This week:
      • Shaking out bugs in the update process with marshall_law and tchung which arose after the switch to aurora.
      • WebAPI tests just got turned on for cedar in buildbot; we're waiting for them to appear on TBPL and then will resolve any problems that show up. I hope to be able to promote them to trunk branches by end of week. Reftests and mochitests to follow.
      • We have telephony tests running again.
      • Work on mochitest-chrome is slower than anticipated, since it has never run remotely (i.e., with Fennec).
      • Need a decision on https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=798580; so we can alter the way that mochitests are run on B2G in order to support tests for security checks (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=780955).
      • Investigating ways to get Gaia tests in CI.
    • Last 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.
  • <QA team> (Geo, Jason, Tony)

BLOCKERS:

STATUS:

    • https://github.com/geoelectric/webapi-smoke-sprint code complete, need to be able to run on current codebase (can't now because of mochitest) then can put up for review
    • https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=780955 being used as defacto tracking bug for Perms testing.
    • Working on porting existing mochitests to B2G over from several areas: alarm, device storage, power management, contacts, screen orientation
    • Apps - Nothing new to call out, but I'm planning on doing another state of the world pass on apps and investigating the new install and update api for apps. Starting payment use case analysis too to understand testing scope.
    • David clarke will be organizing a discussion with some folks on tackling performance and stability requirements. Ping him if you'd like to be involved.
    • Last week:

BLOCKERS:

Mochitest Dependencies (fixes in progress, need to make their way to aurora)

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

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
  • <product team> (Chris Lee)
    • This week:
      • User story audits happening this week.
      • We are meeting with TEF next week to review the overall program (Product, Engineering, UX, Marketing, Apps, BD, etc.)
      • Working with release management to prioritize all dogfood blockers to kick off the program asap
      • Coordinating with OEM partners on software updates
      • Working with the team on prioritizing remaining feature work
    • Last week:

      • Prepping for London meetup with TEF
      • Helping with user-story functionality audits
      • Dashboarding for the greater glory
    • Last week:
  • <Release Management> (Alex Keybl, Lukas Blakk, Bhavana Bajaj)
    • This week:
    • Dogfooding:
      • Blockers: http://mzl.la/dogfood-blockers -- ONLY 3 LEFT!
      • If/when the blockers are cleared up (hopefully in the morning PT) and signed off by QA we will start an initial round of deploying phones in MV tomorrow, and start large-scale flashing with stable build & preparing device shipments for TO and SF
      • EDGE only in the US/Canada, not a blocker
      • Not blocking but affects testers' experience: http://bugzil.la/802214 – Unagi phones are using an unrepresentative amount of memory, affecting testing
    • Convergence:
      • Full blocking-basecamp+ triage is continuing
      • You all should have received team emails with your basecamp blockers - it'll include instructions for priorities/landing/load balancing
        • Reply-to is accidentally b2g-release-drivers@mozilla.com instead of b2g-release-drivers@mozilla.org
      • Meeting with carriers & OEMs to start finalizing update plans for v1 this week
      • Discussing ways of unblocking crash reporting with catlee in RelEng
    • Last Week:
    • Dogfooding:

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)
      • QA to finish vetting the Unagi hardware with B2G stable builds and shaking out any blockers (currently there is nothing that we'd block on) (tchung)
      • Updater Bugs (Marshall) http://bugzil.la/798948, http://bugzil.la/794211
      • Dogfooding Unique ID Setup Script testing (lukas)
      • Feedback App testing (lukas)
    • 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
  • 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

    • 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.

  • Camera (Mike Habicher) - Updated on 10/26 - unable to attend tonight
    • This Week:
      • bug 795379: expose recorder profiles to JS (currently only records at 352x288) -- REVIEWED, need to update patch for check-in
        • gal was wondering if we need this feature, since we're a month past feature-freeze -- can project management comment? (the bug is marked blocking-basecamp+)
      • bug 795202: expose container type to JS (currently JS must supply ".3gp" extension)
        • subsumed into patch for bug 795379
      • bug 801693: NEW - need to plumb in support for reporting recorder status/error updates
      • bug 795090: limit maximum size of recorded file (current video recorder will fill your uSD card) -- blocked on bug 801693

        • 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
    • In The Queue:
      • bug 795332: "record-size" option may be deprecated in favour of "video-size"
        • not a big issue for Otoro, since the camera hw only supports one video stream, and its properties come from "preview-size"
      • bug 789067: clean up extraneous abstract ICameraControl class
        • patch posted to bug, waiting on review
      • bug 791711: camera preview doesn't start when you open the camera from the gallery
