Is dev-platform for platform users or platform developers?
So since dev-tech-xpcom closed, there's been an awful lot of traffic on dev-platform from platform users. I don't really have time to read this, and it probably means I'll be paying less attention to the platform developer traffic on dev-platform (if any at all; I'd long since unsubscribed to dev-tech-xpcom until told to resubscribe to follow the XPCOM memory management discussion). Does this discussion belong on dev-platform, or should it be redirected elsewhere? -David -- L. David Baron http://dbaron.org/ Mozilla Corporation ...

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!

Consolidating dev-webapi into dev-platform after Friday (2015-06-19)
Unless you have serious objections, I'm going to request that dev-webapi redirects to dev-platform as of this coming Saturday at 00:00. A few people have pointed out that having the split mailing list is causing confusion about where to send emails and the traffic level doesn't seem to me to justify its continued existence. ...

[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.

/dev/hda vs /dev/hdb
Before I go and delete a bunch more files, this is right, right? Primary IDE channel: 2 HDDs Secondary IDE channel: 1 CD-DVD The HDD on the primary channel with the master jumper is /dev/hda The HDD on the primary channel jumpered to slave is /dev/hdb Gonna try this: dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdb Wanting to clone HDD. Going the wrong direction would not be pretty. :) Greg wrote: > Before I go and delete a bunch more files, this is right, right? > > Primary IDE channel: 2 HDDs > > Secondary IDE channel: 1 CD-DVD > > The HDD on the primary channe...

Calendar:Dev Guide -- dev support
Hi calendar team! During todays telco you proposed to get more helpers for LG. Sounds good .... but maybe you can make life a bit easier? Calendar:Dev Guide gives a good overview about the code structure and pointing to a lot points. But how about a CVS link? And how to build a "Lightning.xpi" for testing any changes before going to post a change? I'm using eclispe with ANT (and XULbooster) which is doing very well for CVS as well as to build the XPI. Any help/links for that? G�nter Hello G=FCnter! The Dev_Guide is a bit out of date. Some things have c...

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....

Communication by Firefox devs to add-on devs
The time has come for the developers of Firefox to start communicating with the developers of add-ons. As a case in point: Recently the classic.manifest file in fx3 has had a large number of override codes added to it that reassigned filenames from example.png to example-aero.png. Suddenly, all third-party themes in Vista are now missing buttons in a number of places - some of them not easy to spot (e.g. - the wrap icon that shows up only when you reach the bottom of a page in a page search). If one of the themers had not had a user using Vista who communicated with him, and if the t...

Macbook for cross platform dev.?
I'm pondering retiring my laptop and sort of considering a Macbook. Why? - I do web/linux stuff which can be done on anything, and for XEx to compile OSX/iOS versions. I don't currently have any cross platform work, but maybe it will happen! One way to do this is to run Windows in a VM on the Mac. I have access to but don't own a Mac Mini, but this isn't very portable anyway. Which leads me to the question - I'm used to a 4GB/320GB SSD laptop. RAM and SSD seems pricey for the Apple stuff, so would a Macbook be faster than Windows in a way that a HDD wouldn't be...
