[signin][b2g] - B2G->dev mergeWe have been discussing forceAuthentication, but there are other B2G
features that must be merged into dev. So that JedP and I can
prioritize, bisect, and tackle, can we get a list of features and any
dependencies they have on other features?
Off the top of my head I know of:
* forceAuthentication
* forceIssuer
* allowUnverified
* special TOS/PP handling - in B2G, TOS/PP links must be opened in an
IFRAME instead of in a new tab.
* A way of indicating experimental features
Are there other new features that I am missing?
We are actively discussing forceAuthentication, but t...
b2g-info now subsumes b2g-procrank and b2g-psDear all,
I just merged b2g-info, a tool which gives you information about b2g
processes running on a device, into gonk-misc. You can get this new
tool by running ./repo sync and then rebuilding with ./build.sh.
b2g-info is meant to subsume b2g-procrank and b2g-ps. It (hopefully)
outputs all of the useful information from b2g-ps, b2g-procrank,
b2g-procrank --nice, and b2g-procrank --oom plus some additional data
in a (hopefully) easier-to-digest format.
b2g-info is also faster than b2g-procrank, which makes a difference if
you're running b2g-info repeatedly from a script. ...
[b2g] v1.1 localization updateQuick update about l10n and l10n QA for b2g (v1.1):
we'll be finished testing l10n on firefoxOS by *Tuesday July 16th*. So don't be surprised if you see the number of l10n and l12y bugs rise by then.
In fact, there are a LOT of truncated / overlapping text issues, which
is why we're going to see if UX team can do anything about this. I've
opened a meta bug to track them here
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=892075

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!
Michael

Proposal to change B2G branch names in gecko.git to include "b2g"Hi, everyone.
I'd like to ask the group if anyone has an objection to naming our b2g
branches something like "b2g-vX_Y_Z" in gecko.git [1]. I think the
simplest thing to do is probably to copy the name from the hg
repository, but I don't feel strongly about the specifics, so long as
the name has "b2g" in it.
Right now, the b2g relbranches are being named "vX_Y_Z". I am
strongly opposed to this: The repository is called "gecko.git", so I
don't think it makes sense to have a "v1_0_0" branch which does not
correspond to ...
Settings App (was: Re: [b2g] Module Owners Wiki Update)First of all, we still have two module peers active on the app: Evelyn
Hung and Fred Lin, so we are not at the point of assigning people to
take over.
For the purpose of getting day-to-day work done, I have asked Fred
("gasolin" on the list) to be the go-to person to handle at least the
current blockers and yet-to-finish items.
I will leave Evelyn and Fred to work out how to growing the module
contributors. I have already talked to Yura and Evelyn will follow-up
soon.
Thanks,
Tim

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

easier for more people if we collapsed down to one group? Is that an

Current recovery plan for gecko-dev and git (Was: Re: gecko-dev and Git replication will be broken for a little while)Here is an update on our plans and status.
= Overview =
gps and hwine will implement the plan, which is, in summary, manually
playing back the problematic merges one by one to ensure both systems are
in agreement.
gps has point and hwine is online for peer review of the work.
No further tree closures are needed for this plan.
= Procedure in detail =
1) Make backup copy of SHA-1 mapfiles on both systems (in progress)
2) Manually iterate through Mercurial commits starting at 8991b10184de and
run gexport on that commit
3) Compare resulting SHA-1s in Git across conversion system...
Gaia repository modularization (was Re: [b2g] Move Gaia to the same repository as Gecko)sounds like we put Xorg + GNOME + openoffice + a lot of apps into a huge
repository in Linux.
gecko is a platform and gaia is a mobile environment + core apps, I even
want to split gaia to gaia-essential + apps in different repositores and
then we can develop gaia app just like a normal web app.
actually Greg and I are discussing this in sereral days and we try to
figure our idea here:
https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1gO6NLhYHRmscJF14MezfP9BDZIVRJ6Mw_o1ZqWhvbf4/edit
and we are doing some experiment to verify our idea.

Armv7a Gingerbread-based B2G Gecko debug builds now liveHi Everyone,
A few weeks ago armv7a Gingerbread-based B2G Gecko *opt* builds started
running on most branches. As of a few hours ago we are now generating
debug versions of these builds. We now have "Armv7a GB" rows for opt and
debug with "Bg" (B2G Gecko Build) cells in them, and we'll add more
build & test cells and platform rows as they arrive.
We know there's more B2G build requests coming, so as part of this, we
also reworked our configs to make it easier to add additional B2G
platforms and build types in the future.
For now, we've left th...
