Administrative

Ecosystem

  • <ateam> (mdas, jgriffin, ahal) - updated 9/25
    • This week:
      • Update server producing nightly updates; stable updates coming as soon as we determine a url and a mechanism for promoting nightly updates to stable
      • Marionette broken by a remote debugger change; working on fixing; https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=793760
      • We're very close to having Marionette in TBPL which will prevent this problem in the future
      • Continuing work on getting emulator tests in TBPL, adapting our automation to pandas, and getting automated Eideticker runs
    • Last week:
      • Working on a problem in Marionette affecting OOP frames.
      • Working on some B2G changes for Eideticker.
      • Working on adapting automation to pandas.
      • Marionette is currently on TBPL for desktop Firefox, only on try and hidden while we work out a few issues. This should help prevent Marionette breakage in the future, which has been the source of some B2G automation downtime.
    • Current priorities: builder/update server support > emulator unittests in TBPL > panda work
  • <QA team> (Geo, John)
    • Gaia QA updates at: https://etherpad.mozilla.org/gaia-meeting-notes
    • BLOCKED:
      • Payments story is in flux although subsiding soon, QA testing has been put on a halt for "real" payment providers. Don't feel confident either that were on track for feature freeze for payments.
      • Camera is busted - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=793973
    • This week:
      • Cleaning up iteration 1 of sanity smoketest suite produced by sprint. Have sanity checks for ~10 areas. Looking to have suite working in B2G CI and up for review by EOW.
      • Taking a second 1.5 week iteration to add any other automatable APIs to sanity suite.
      • Working on getting existing mochitests vetted for failures in B2G CI and ported.
      • Conversation between perms project and WebAPI devs revealed more complexity to the testing: need to test APIs w/ a range of different appStatus and with four different perms manager responses. Reworking existing approach to account.
    • QUESTION: when can QA get a dogfood device and a build to vet prior to wider distribution?
    • Apps - Looking to some work on testing web activities, but holding my testing on payments for now
    • Last week:
      • Finished content-based perms test prototypes for priority APIs. dchan has rough code for setting up app-based fixture. Working with ptheriault and dchan to get existing code all together and finalize approach.
      • WebAPI Smoketest sprint wrapping up. Uncovered a lot of questions regarding setting up and working with APIs, particularly working around permissions. Working through solving these now to unblock further progress.
      • MozTrap->Jira export script finished. http://people.mozilla.com/~gmealer/moz2jira/ First samples sent to TEF.
      • mozPay end to end flow at a proof of concept level has been seen working
      • Mostly focused on adding test cases at the Gaia level, not platform level this week

Note:

  • <product team> (Chris Lee)
    • This week:
    • Last week:
  • <PMO team> (Kevin Hu, Dietrich, Michael)
    • This week:
      • ensuring all gaia blockers have feature label
      • generating projects from LOE estimates
      • driving remaining feature work to zero
    • Last week:
  • <Release Management> (Alex Keybl, Lukas Blakk, Bhavana Bajaj)
    • This week:
      • Sign ups being collected for B2G Test Drivers (over 200 MV/TO/SF already signed up)
      • Working on sign off for SIM card/phone plan expensing, getting SD cards to eb able to test music/camera/video
      • OTA working!!!
        • Jgriffin working on creating the stable channel, we'll need an update channel (stable or nightly) for B2G Test Drivers using unagi builds [also Jgriffin?]
      • To get the devices to people we only need the following:
        • Michael Wu to test initializing a device from the shipment that arrives this week to make sure the update script is working properly on these devices -- then we can start having IT and Desktop Support unboxing/preparing devices
        • QA -- Test plan to run on a newly installed device from this shipment before starting full deployment plan [Geo]
        • Confim ability and instructions for setting a config pref on the device as dogfood.prerelease.id so we can get this hooked into update pings and crash reports as soon as possible
        • Feedback app still needs to be part of a default unagi build and tested with the API - this app will be included by default in all B2G builds until we ship - people who are not in B2G Test Drivers can still submit to our app [Vivien]
    • Last Week:
      • Preparations for B2G Test Drivers (stub: https://wiki.mozilla.org/B2G_Test_Drivers)
      • Tomorrow an announcement will go out to MV/SF/TO to get signups for phones
      • A concurrent announcement will go to everyone@ explaining what B2G TD is, and what they can do to help in the meantime - desktop builds/ServiceNow/Developer Outreach signup/survey
      • There should be 600 devices (400 for B2G TD) arriving in MV office this weekend
      • Early next week we will start having IT/Desktop Support flash them and do the custom adjustments for B2G TD (config pref setting, config of Feedback app)
        • [BLOCKING] Micheal Wu's flashing instructions/scripts in a wiki (and tested to be as user-friendly as possible)
        • [BLOCKING] Vivien's feedback app from https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia/issues/1819 installed on the 400 devices we will deploy (can this be a part of the default apps during dogfooding period? - Yes, Vivien can do this as well as creating the app)
        • [BLOCKING] stable OTA updates
          • bug 791829 - [OTA update] No way of resuming a stopped/partial update
          • bug 791836 - [OTA update] Updates can just stall without uninterrupted reasons
          • bug 791902 - [OTA update] After restart, update shows a busted homescreen with no apps
        • [NEEDED BUT NOT BLOCKING] bug 789466 – Report crashes with prerelease.dogfood.id if available
          • Blocked by bug 777145 but looks to be finished this week
        • We're going to talk with Annie from metrics team this week (Thurs channel meeting) about bug 791053 – Provide a 'daily grep' of the update logs for B2G update pings/downloads where custom token is specifed
      • Once we have devices flashed/deployed we'll start having weekly meetings to look at update/crash/feedback collection from this pool of early users. a) expect lots of new bugs filed and b) anyone welcome to join the meetings
      • Continuing meetings about the building/hosting of images/updates
      • Sent email to dev.gaia about gaia (blocking) bugs being tracked in Bugzilla
        • speak now or forever hold your peace
      • Will follow up on:
  • Developer Documentation (sheppy)
    • This week:
      • Have been asked by the partner relations folks to write docs about overall architecture, security, and performance, so that's what I'm working on.
    • As always:
    • Don't forget to add the dev-doc-needed keyword to any bugs that even might affect developer docs (whether device integration developers, Gecko developers, or web developers). You don't have to wait until the bug is fixed. We have tools to track this, and using it will get things done faster.
    • Feel free to ping me on IRC (sheppy) or by email (eshepherd@mozilla.com) with questions, requests, or suggestions.
  • On Github, use devDocNeeded label (current open issues: http://j.mp/NTBybM )
    • For example, make sure everything API-related you talk about in these meetings have the keyword.
  • <Release Engineering> (Joduinn) - Updated on 9/25
    • This week:
      • contractual details of how-to-do-updates (continued)
      • repo replicating from github->hg - question for cjones
      • aki/jgriffin: b2g builds in emulator; note: aki on vacation next week.
      • once we have builds-in-emulator, do we still need armv7-noion on tegras? yes, per cjones
    • Last week:
      • progress on contractual details of how-to-do-updates
    • gonk vs gecko vs moz-gaia vs other-gaia updates (and who changes source)
