Actions

Hot Bugs

(Important bugs for which we need to find owners or additional help. If known, please include suggested team or knowledge needed to advance the bug.)

Orange Factor
Stability
Other

The Need To Know

(Release and system issues that may impact engineering this week.)

Notices/Schedule (akeybl/lsblakk/bajaj)

  • 24.0b2 with QA, desktop will ship this afternoon
    • Will have l10n updates for Windows users (24.0b1 did not)
  • 23.0.1 goes to build this afternoon as well - shipping Friday if no issues
28 bugs (33 bugs last week)
60 bugs (62 bugs last week)
Unresolved Aurora 54 Trackers (non-security, not tracked for Beta) Unresolved Beta 126 Trackers (non-security)

Build Changes (gps)

(Build changes of which engineers should be aware.)

Read only

  • WebIDL Windows dependencies are hopefully fixed now (bug 890744).
  • If you export the environment variable REBUILD_BUILD=1 when building, you'll see which dependencies are triggering rebuilds.
  • External projects imported into the tree are now built as part of the "external" tier rather than the "platform" tier. You may notice some directories not being built when they used to be built. This is why.

Upcoming Outages/Upgrades

(System outages/upgrades and tree closures that impact engineering.)

Tree closure August 24th. Times TBD.

Key Issues

(Non team specific issues that impact engineering.)
