Meeting Notes

Quick Status Updates

  • [ahal] automation.py.in now reads prefs from testing/profiles/prefs_general.js (bug 830430)
  • [ahal] working on moving b2g mochitests on top mozrunner, making progress (bug 865349)

Issues of the Two Weeks (since you looked at me)

  • A couple of instances of changes devs had checked into m-c but not github, e.g https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=860110
    • [wlach] one interesting thing to note about this bug is that the changes checked into the tree would break things like mozregression, which depend on being able to work with profiles from a bunch of different versions of mozilla. how can we communicate that making changes to mozbase which break compatibility with old versions of mozilla/fennec/b2g is not "ok"?
    • need to figure out module owners/review process/how to educate developers about this
    • TODO: Make dev.platform post
    • TODO: How can we be notified of unexpected changes? <- mcote to do it
