Merging dev-gaia and dev-b2g into dev-fxos
--001a113ce93ebce35d051e4c0c73 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Hello people of Firefox OS, After a discussion we have decided that the distinction between dev-gaia and dev-b2g mailing lists is not enough to warrant maintaining two lists. So we are deprecating both in favor of dev-fxos. So if you are subscribed to one of the aforementioned lists, you will be subscribed to the new dev-fxos list and we will shortly be decommissioning dev-gaia and dev-b2g. Thanks!

dev.b2g and dev.gaia redundancy?
I'm relatively new to the project but I see more overlap than not lately in the dev.b2g and dev.gaia newsgroups. Are the original motivations for having distinct groups still still applicable? Would things be easier for more people if we collapsed down to one group? Is that an awful idea? - A +1, half the emails are sent to both lists to take it further I am sitting alone in #fxos on irc On 4 December 2013 00:22, Asa Dotzler <asa@mozilla.com> wrote: > I'm relatively new to the project but I see more overlap than not lately > in the dev.b2g and dev....

mailman config changed; text/html should now show up in dev-gaia and dev-b2g and links should not be corrupted

What this means is that if you use the gmail web UI to talk on the list and your hyperlinks have ended up messed up, that should stop happening. (This, by definition, is/was a bug in gmail'...

Gaia testing for devs
Hey all, To make life a bit easier, we've added a 'make marionette' command to the gaia repository. This will run the gaia marionette tests for you. By default, it assumes a b2g instance is running and will run tests against that instance, but you can also have this command run a b2g instance for you, and test against that. For more information, please read: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Marionette/Running_Tests#From_Gaia For this to work, you'll need to have a marionette-enabled build of B2G or B2G Desktop. Please follow the instructions here: https://de...

Gaia: string changed between Gaia 1.1 and Gaia 1.2
Hi, Pascal put together a very useful view on Transvision (for now only available on Beta). Unfortunately there are strings that changed between 1.1 and 1.2, without getting new IDs. Sometimes changes are minor (like removing an article), in other cases they're substantial. If your locale was shipped in 1.1, you probably want to check this page to see if your localization has already been updated for 1.2. For example this is the page for Italian (just replace the locale code in the URL) http://transvision-beta.mozfr.org/gaia/?locale=it#englishchanges Personally I fin...

Fast dev/debug cycles for gaia apps on desktop
Goal: fast dev/debug cycles for gaia apps built from a local gaia checkout. I want to edit email app files, then either just close the app in simulator or desktop something, or be able to trigger a refresh not using the cache and see the changes. Previously I was able to do this for email using desktop Firefox Nightly. That changed a while back, and then I switched to using Mulet a couple months ago. However, I heard that Mulet may not continue, so I am looking for pointers on how to still accomplish the above goal. What I use now: * DEBUG=1 make * Launch Mulet giving it the pr...

[PATCH] File::Path::mkpath, /dev, /dev/dir and /dev/000000 changes
While fetching GD with CPAN.PM, I ran into some problems with File::Path::mkpath, in particular with rooted logicals: $ define/job/trans=conceal root_abcd_1 disk:[perl.cpan.build.id.blah.] mkpath('/root_abcd_1/lds') fails with a "invalid parameter" error when it tries to mkdir('/root_abcd_1'). There's a test in the code for a '000000' directory, but not for the lack of a directory....I suspect that the test was put in to prevent endless loops, prior to a modification of the File::Basename code. So here's a change that does the...

*.dev = docs/dev/*.pod ??
Hi all, I've been reading through some of the pdd's and have noticed mention of *.dev files for actual implementation of features. I'm fairly sure these are actually the pod files under docs/dev, but I just wanted to make sure of this before I make the pdd's point to the files in this directory instead of the *.dev files. Thanks! Paul Paul Cochrane wrote: > Hi all, > > I've been reading through some of the pdd's and have noticed mention > of *.dev files for actual implementation of features.

Proposal: Stage based app bootstrap process (cross-post from dev.gaia)
Hi guys, that's a cross-post from dev.gaia - guys there pointed out that th= ere may be more work for Gecko here than I anticipate. :) =3D=3D=3D Problem =3D=3D=3D FirefoxOS apps bootstrap code is quite messy and incoherent. Lack of API that would enable an App to control the System's behavior (like= firstPaint) results in a lot of dirty hacks intended to provide decent app= startup user experience. Preventing FOUC's, flickering, on-screen layout composition, both for apps = and for the System itself (think - runtime localization) requires a lot of = trickery and...
