Bugzilla Meetings
When and where?
We hold meetings on the 4th Wednesday of every month at 14:00 UTC.
The next meeting will be on Wednesday, 24 September 2014, at 14:00 UTC (click for time in your timezone).
You can participate in the following ways:
Via IRC: server: irc.mozilla.org channel: #bugzilla
Mozilla Vidyo: in the Bugzilla room; if you don't have Mozilla LDAP access, use this guest link: https://v.mozilla.com/flex.html?roomdirect.html&key=kCjGNHjpT8sj
Air Mozilla: https://air.mozilla.org/bugzilla-development-meeting-20140723/
Telephone: +1 650 903 0800, x92 98008 or +1 800 707 2533, pin 369 - conf 98008
Minutes will be taken at https://etherpad.mozilla.org/bugzilla-meeting and transcribed to the wiki shortly after the meeting ends.
We will try to have someone acting as a moderator on the IRC channel to summarize the discussion on IRC for those who can't watch the stream and also to relay questions from IRC to the video call.
Who can attend?
Everyone interested in being actively involved in the Bugzilla project can attend. Project leads and core developers will be there, but we welcome anyone interested in contributing, whether it be to development, testing, planning, the website, or anything else. This is not a forum for support questions, however.
What will be discussed during our next meeting (agenda)?
Wednesday, 24 September 2014
- Summary of the last meeting.
- [dkl] Ideas on how to do upgrade automated testing using Travis CI. Hosting landfill dumps for Travis CI workers to download and import turned out be a bad idea and is no longer possible and so we need a new method.
- Maybe generate the test data systematically using a script for each version of the database being upgraded?
- Just use the blank database created by checksetup.pl, upgrade to new version and run checksetup.pl and just test schema updates and not worry about data migration?
- [mcote] Disable landfill accounts after X days (where X << 1 year)?
- Landfill is a test instance. If you play with it for a few days and then don't touch it for months, well, you can just create a new account. Nothing's guaranteed to stay stable there, and we have ancient accounts that we still try to email.
- Clean up landfill instances.
- [sgreen] What is the problem we are trying to solve? I see no advantage is expiring passwords on a test instance.
- [mcote] Mozilla really wants to shut down bzr.mozilla.org. What are our options here?
- [sgreen] Two options I can think of: (1) Move bzr.mozilla.org to landfill (or other Mozilla owned hardware) and keep it until we EOL 4.4 (should be 1½ years) (2) Provide very clear and detailed instructions with the next Bugzilla release (4.0.15, 4.2.11, 4.4.6 and 5.0) on how to change from bzr to git, including keeping customisations.
