DXR

  • Made the test runner not suck so much. Ported tests to the new runner so we have lots of good examples and no bad ones. Deleted 10 files. Rewrote testing documentation. Folks are using it. We received a real nice patch afterward with 6 new tests, all decoupled from the rest of the suite. We have the beginnings of a patches-with-tests culture!
  • Bugs
    • Ignore non-directories when looking for plugins.
    • Don't crash when doing negated phrase matching.
  • Refactor search() controller to make it more comprehensible and ferret out bugs.
    • Don't crash when limit and offset query string params aren't parseable ints.
    • Don't crash when format=json and we're using the error.html template.
    • Deal with negative limits and offsets. Hey, why not?
    • Don't HTML-escape the query text manually anymore. Do urlencode it when using it in a URL.
  • Got mozilla-central to build and spit out a DXR index locally.
  • Got Schalk's Vagrant set up. That was harder than it should have been.
  • Redesigned URLs for parity with MXR and future extensibility.
  • Benchmarked Python vs. Apache for browser() at length. Wrote a blog article about it.
  • Fixed an old XSS in prod. Really need to get a modern version pushed.
  • Newsworthy merges
    • Merged non-root-URL deployments of DXR fix.
    • Merged Mook's patch to make it draw from Stackato-style process env vars. So now it works really nicely on Stackato.
    • Merged fix for UnionFilter bugs (ORs being too liberal and source lines duplicating themselves).
    • Reviewed and merged abbeyj's Query refactoring. Now profiling works properly under WSGI.
  • Tried and failed to get LLVM 3.2 to build on RHEL 5.5. Ugh.

Community

  • Gave ES talk at ConFoo and PyCon, API Poetry talk at ConFoo
  • Named jcranmer, abbeyj, and mook as friends of the tree.

  • Rescued django-haystack, which had broken.

Good things:

  • attended PyCon and talked django-browserid and elasticutils with other folks -- there's interest in django-browserid especially after Dan's talk
  • worked on elasticutils: robhudson landed a middleware, hanno fixed some testing issues, I fixed the ElasticSearchTestCase (though I think I'm going to change how that works), I fixed the django tasks code, I thought about extending the query API, ...
  • worked on updating kitsune search to the latest elasticutils
  • helped MDN get elasticsearch working
  • finished up a bunch of last-minute fjord fixes for the production rollout for Input (tomorrow!)

Bad things:

  • made many promises about working on jingo-minify, django-browserid, tower, django-tidings, and other things, but have yet to do the work
