gnomefreakthey have to change code anyway since rc1 should say that in help and on top panel00:00
gnomefreakso in theory the code is gonna change anyway00:00
gnomefreakweather they call it final or rc2 noone knows until they do it00:01
gnomefreakbut i agree 100% that bug is  a blocker00:01
gnomefreakok rc1 is gonna be blessed final as in it wont be branded as rc00:02
gnomefreaki think that is where the original post came from00:03
gnomefreakso they were just talking within the build being branded as final :)00:03
gnomefreakok back to work around here so i can get to sleep tonight00:05
danagehello! you will hate this question, but is there an ETA to fix flash?01:43
=== asac_ is now known as asac
futttamorning all07:26
futttaquick question: i noticed ff3b5 in hardy is faster then ff3rc1 from mozilla in the sunspider tests. is this because the hardy ff3b5 has been optimized?07:31
futttano-one awaky? :)07:34
futttaawake that is07:35
asacfuttta: it is?08:05
asacinteresting08:05
asacmaybe its because b5 still used jemalloc08:05
mconnorwe turned off jemalloc on Linux?08:13
futttaback08:13
futttaasac; yep, according to a quick-and-dirty test i did anyhow08:14
futttacfr. http://blog.futtta.be/2008/05/19/firefox-3rc1-shines-in-javascript-benchmark/08:14
mconnorhmm08:14
=== fta2 is now known as fta
mconnoroh08:14
mconnorasac: what' gcc are you guys shipping?08:14
mconnor4.3 is supposed to be about 10% faster than the 4.1 we're using08:15
mconnorfuttta: about:buildconfig in b5?08:16
asacmconnor: not sure if you turned jemalloc off ... at least its not linked statically into libxul anymore08:17
mconnoroh, didn't we fix that for you guys?08:17
asacright. but in b5 we still kept it enabled08:17
asacwell .. at that point it was still linked in08:17
asacin hardy we have gcc (GCC) 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu7)08:18
asacin intrepid (current development) its 4.308:18
mconnorhmm08:18
mconnorthat's still going to be faster08:18
mconnor4.1 kinda sucked08:18
asacyes. afaik ew somewhat skipped 4.108:19
asacfuttta: could you try the preview of RC1 we have in https://edge.launchpad.net/~fta/+archive to see if the performance gap is gone?08:21
futttamconnor: i'm at work now, but i'll reboot into ubuntu later today to check about:buildconfig08:21
futttaasac: same, i'll check that later today08:21
asacthanks08:21
asaclet us know08:22
ftawe have issues with mozilla tools built with gcc 4.3 in intrepid. See the bottom of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompilerFlags08:22
asacyeah .... but those compiler flags were added by ubuntu to improve security mostly08:23
mconnorfuttta: its ok, 4.2.3 would explain it08:24
ftaasac, yet it shows issues either in xul or in libc08:24
asacright08:24
asaci guess we should get a backtrace with debug symbols from it08:25
mconnorif there's an upstream bug, bsmedberg is pretty decent about fixing stuff like that08:25
ftathose are aborts, not crashes08:25
asacright08:26
asacbuffer overflow ;)08:26
mconnorand, really, one wonders if we should use those flags ourselves08:26
ftathe 1st abort has a decent trace, the other aborts had corrupted stacks08:26
mconnorbut I don't know how well supported they are08:26
asacmconnor: i can try to get our security guy in contact with you ... or with whoever is best suiteable to discuss this08:27
asacs/try//08:27
futttasome people seem to be arriving on my blog when searching for 'ubuntu firefox 3rc1' in google, what are the plans on pushing rc1 to hardy-users?08:44
asacfuttta: working on it .... takes quite a bit of QA to do this transition obviously08:44
futttathat makes sense :)08:46
asacfuttta: basically the ffox and xul bits are ready, but we still need to transition some rdepends as it breaks ABI and translations08:47
wgrantasac: Are fta's the most officially blessed packages? I might as well upgrade and try to break things.08:47
wgrantasac: Oh dear, please don't tell me xulrunner broke ABI....08:47
asacwgrant: we dont really encourage to use them if you are not a developer08:47
asacbut otherwise yes. those are more or less the most officially blessed packages we have from the mozillateam that track the trunk08:48
wgrantI was in ~motu last time I checked. Or do you mean Mozilla devs?08:48
asacwgrant: no thats fine. just remember to check here if you see wierd things08:51
asacok  moving to another room08:51
wgrantasac: Of course.08:52

wgrantThe AwesomeBar seems faster.09:03
mconnorwgrant: it probably is09:05
mconnoralso, breaking ABI between beta and final, well...09:06
