The update plans have relevance to how the first release is perceived, though.

[signin][b2g] - B2G->dev merge
We 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-ps
Dear 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 update
Quick 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 Looking at the Gaia dashboard, there are some locales that are behind the rest: https://l10n.mozilla.org/shipping/dashboard?tree=gaia Th...
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!

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.

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 live
Hi 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...
