dfarningjhnjwng how are you?01:17
jhnjwnggood, got your email, let me know what I should do to join the team.01:18
asacdfarning: you want to setup some clue files for bughelper? I haven't used it so far ... what can we do?01:18
dfarningcool is there an area you are interested in01:18
dfarningasac I haven't used it either.  I spent much of the afternoon managling the bug mail;(01:19
jhnjwngI'd like to start with general bug triage. also interested in jvm related stuff.01:20
asachehe ... yeah some activity lately :)01:20
dfarningjhnjwng meet asac01:21
dfarningasac meet jhnjwng01:21
jhnjwnghi asac.how r u.01:21
dfarningasac is our new developer and jhnjwng is interested in joinin the team01:22
asacjhnjwng: hello hello ... to start bug triage there are quite some options :)01:22
dfarningare you familaer with triaging01:22
jhnjwngI just started learning.01:23
jhnjwngI have read the document and  triaged couple,01:23
dfarningJust jump in by reading the mozillteam wiki01:24
dfarningsome should be hear to answer any of your questions01:24
dfarningsome one should be here01:24
asaca good thing is to subscribe to the bug system and follow how others process bugs01:24
jhnjwngI did watched for some time.01:25
asacgootd ... then there are lots of options ... getting initial info if bugs get post, trying to reproduce, trying to verify if there are already duplicates, trying to find upstream bugs (quite important)01:26
jhnjwngwhen you say upstream, do you mean bugzilla.mozilla.org?01:28
asacyes ... thats our main upstream bugtracker01:28
dfarningasac do you have a contact at mozilla?01:29
asacmaybe important to know that we have to find a common understanding of how to use bug states and tags to better coordinate the workflow we need in order to process the quite huge amounts ob bug submissions we get01:29
asacdfarning: some ... what do you want?01:29
asacfor the definition on how to use bug states and bug tags I started to setup wiki pages01:30
jhnjwngI also have a little of confusution of how workflow would be.01:30
asacrather incomplete :)01:30
asacdfarning: jump in if you disagree01:30
dfarningjust following along;)  I've been gone for a while01:31
jhnjwngdo we(or somebody) need to response to bug within 1 hour ?01:31
asacthe idea is to allow people to select tasks as they like ...01:31
asacwe try to categorize bugs in such a way that someone who has the will to help can go to the wiki page, read how he can get a list of bugs that need work which he finds suitable for the time and skills he can contribute01:33
asaca bug usually runs through the states we currently have in our bug tracker01:33
dfarningI would like to have a pretty short time for initial response01:33
jhnjwngIs there a coordinator that will dispatch the new bug to interested person?01:34
asacactually imo there should be some skilled team members that do the initial screening01:35
jhnjwngor we all need to look into it .01:35
jhnjwngthat what I mean.01:35
asacand add tags so people can better see what bugs need what kind and skill of work01:35
jhnjwngsounds good to me.01:35
asacthe initial categorization is maybe not the place to start for new comers ...01:35
asacits more the needs info state01:36
asacand the confirmed state where you can help01:36
asacthe initial bug screener will add additional information to needs info ... currently we have01:36
asaconly definitions for crashers01:36
asacneedreport01:36
asacretrace (might go away)01:36
asactraced01:36
asacneedreport is pretty simple ... people should look if the reporter already did submit a proper crash report ... and ping him from time to time01:37
asacas soon as proper crash report is attached he can set tag to retrace ...01:37
asacretrace (might go away, as this will hopefully automized)01:37
asacneeds someone to download crash report01:37
asacand run a retrace on it, so we get a symbolized crash reports, that allows us to take a look what the crash is about01:38
asacif a bug is traced someone properly more skilled has to take a look if the trace is sufficient for further processing and then try to find duplicates based on the stacktrace01:39
asacif that is done the bug can go to confirmed state where all the actual bug evaluation and upstream triage will happen01:39
asacthen if we know how to fix it on our own or we submitted upstream ... we go to "in progress" ... and so forth :)01:40
asacanyway, for bugs other than crashers we still have no procedure01:40
dfarningGot to go home for dinner I am looking forward to reading the log of this discussion01:40
asacyeah ... not much left.01:41
asac:)01:41
asacjhnjwng: hope that was not too much01:41
asac:)01:41
jhnjwngno, asac. thanks for the education.01:41
asacanyway ... now what you could do :)01:41
asacif you want to get started to the mechanisms ... you could go through the mozilla-thunderbird bugs01:42
asac:)01:42
asacand look for bugs that have a wrong debian upstream bug01:42
asacthere should be quite a good bunch :)01:42
asacactually its always the same01:42
asaceither the bug is right01:42
asacor the bug is wrong, because it was cloned upstream01:43
asacyou can easily see this01:43
asacif we have a bug that has a debian upstream url01:43
asacand is in state fix released01:43
asacthis is probably wrong01:43
asac:=01:43
asacyou understood what I mean?01:43
asachttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mozilla-thunderbird/+bugs?field.searchtext=&orderby=-importance&field.status%3Alist=Unconfirmed&field.status%3Alist=Needs+Info&field.status%3Alist=Confirmed&field.status%3Alist=In+Progress&field.status%3Alist=Fix+Committed&assignee_option=any&field.assignee=&field.owner=&field.status_upstream=only_resolved_upstream&field.status_upstream-empty-marker=1&field.omit_dupes.used=&field.omit_dupes=on&field.h01:44
asacthat list might be the ones01:44
asacyou can do that searc01:44
jhnjwnglet me open it.01:44
asacby advanced search and then selecting the "bugs that are resolve upstream" radio button in the lower end01:44
asachttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mozilla-thunderbird/+bug/4947801:46
asacthats one example01:46
UbugtuMalone bug 49478 in mozilla-thunderbird "thunderbird warning on installation (breezy)" [Low,Confirmed] 01:46
asacit has a debbugs upstream bug01:46
asacwhich is resolved01:46
asacif you look at the bug01:46
asacthere is a message "Cloned bug xxx as xxxx" somehwere in it01:46
asacyou would have to change the referend bug to the new one01:46
asacanyway, looks like that there are not so many :/ ... some of the list above are bugzilla bugs... those are properly right ... only debbugs are of interest01:47
asac:)01:47
asacthere should be 3-4  such bugs01:48
jhnjwngI see the "cloned .." in debian bug system. so I will start with this one. I will let you know If I have problems.01:50
jhnjwngthanks again. have to goto dinner and will join a litter bit later.01:51
asacsure ... thx a lot ... we will definitly come up with more tags with better documentation how to perform that task so if you visit wiki and find something interesting, feel free to go ahead01:51
asaci will usually read bug mails and if you really do something wrong, I will let you know ... so just go ahead ;)01:51
asaclearning by doing :)01:51

=== gnomefreak thinks the GTK crashes on Firefox are related to flash 9 :(
gnomefreaksomething needs to be worked out with the list. everytime someone comments on a bug its gonna ask us for aproval?03:29
gnomefreakhjmf: you have an edgy 64bit chroot?03:48
hjmfhi03:55
gnomefreakhi03:56
hjmfno i'm not, and I'm pretty sure that stacktrace (if you are asking for bug 82601) is notk ok03:56
UbugtuMalone bug 82601 in firefox "Firfox shuts down occassionally when switching tabs or to open an URL in a new tab." [Undecided,Needs info]  https://launchpad.net/bugs/8260103:56
gnomefreaki think let me look03:56
gnomefreakthat would be the one03:57
hjmfnot sure, I was playing a bit.03:57
gnomefreakyou got the symbols but i didnt think you could run 64bit retraces on 32bit but seeing as you got all symbols its strange to me03:57
hjmfI'm using the right deps, but on 32bit03:58
gnomefreakah03:58
hjmfAs I've said im playing, I'll keep that bug assigned to me until I'll be sure03:59
gnomefreakok was just wondering if it was possible ;)03:59
hjmfAny how I've posted the stacktrace to get your feed back, Just beginnig to learn04:00
hjmfs/Any how/anyhow04:00
gnomefreaki have a few other questions for asac so i might ask him to check that stack to make sure its good | that way maybe i wont need another chroot to run 64s04:01
hjmfplease do it :)04:02
gnomefreakthis frigging mailing llist is gonna kill me today04:02
hjmfI'm leaving that issue for tomorrow (evolution is getting mad today) :(04:02
gnomefreakyou would think you click remind me (of password it would send it to me :(04:03
gnomefreaki think i won :)04:26
asacgnomefreak: what?04:54
asacwhich stack? :)04:54
asachello!04:54
gnomefreakhi04:54
gnomefreakok let me find it04:54
gnomefreakbug 8260104:55
UbugtuMalone bug 82601 in firefox "Firfox shuts down occassionally when switching tabs or to open an URL in a new tab." [Undecided,Needs info]  https://launchpad.net/bugs/8260104:55
gnomefreakthat stack04:55
gnomefreakhe used 32bit to debug 64bit and it looks good but wanted to cjeck with you04:56
asacyeah its good04:56
asacyet another theme switch bug :)04:56
gnomefreakcool :)04:56
asacapparently those happen not only if the you explicitly update theme04:56
gnomefreakasac: im thinking its related to flash04:56
asacmight be that flash triggers restyling more often ... but the stack looks like restyling, aka retheme bug :)04:57
gnomefreakone of the bugs someone said he changed to flash 9 and it stopped crashing04:57
asacbut if its traced I will take a closer look sure :)04:57
gnomefreaki will find out what he did to get that trace and try to see if i cant get it to work :)04:59
asaci don't think we have *no* flash crashes ... but I think that this one is not about flash :)05:00
asacwhich is the bug where he told us that using flash 9 fixes it?05:00
asaci saw that too, but can't remeber the bug number of course :)05:00
gnomefreaki will look for it tomorrow05:00
