gnomefreaklol i googled wizz_rss_news_reader and my .upstream branch is the first result11:04
asacfta: update server most likely11:04
gnomefreakasac: what format are we using for MOZ_XPI_EMID? the extension ID number or extension@extension.team11:15
gnomefreakasac: also can i shorten the name of the extension from wizz_rss_news_reader to wizz-rss (not stuck on it but i think name is a bit long.11:18
gnomefreakJazzva: if you have thoughts on the 2 above questions let me know11:20
asacgnomefreak: you have to use whatever is in install.rdf11:26
gnomefreakok11:27
gnomefreaks/./.)11:34
gnomefreakbrb need to restart irssi for new script11:47
gnomefreakSUNWjoejaxx: are you still lead dev on fluxbuntu? i sent someone to #fluxbuntu not even sure if it was still maintained11:50
gnomefreakasac: im guessing that the full name of extension is ok? full name is wizz_rss_news_reader11:51
asacgnomefreak: full name for what?11:52
gnomefreakfor wizz_rss_news_reader extension11:52
gnomefreaki was leaning towards wizz-rss but not sure what is best way11:53
pmatulisasac: hi, any news on the NFS/sqlite issue?  a 2nd support case in this morning on it12:02
asacpmatulis: i am sorry, but there are highest-prio issues on my plate these days which prevent me from looking closer into this :(12:11
asaccannot yet say for sure when i get back out of this12:11
pmatulisasac: ack12:13
asacpmatulis: but once thats done that issue will be back on my plate12:14
pmatulisasac: just wondering, what is your view on the profile locks?  should that be something users should see after a cold boot?12:16
asacpmatulis: no12:21
asacpmatulis: the files dont matter12:21
asacbut they shouldnt lock firefox12:21
pmatulisasac: must be a bug on that12:22
asacpmatulis: on what?12:22
asacpmatulis: this is all related12:22
asacnfs doesnt release locks properly12:22
asacthats it12:22
asacthats the problem with places and thats the problem with parentlock and .lock12:22
pmatulisasac: i thought they were separate issues12:23
asaceverything else doesnt make sense12:23
asacpmatulis: no ... try on a real system. i am sure that you can start firefox after cold boot12:23
pmatulisasac: right12:23
asacpmatulis: if that is broken then it would be a separate issue12:23
asacotherwise its all nfs ;)12:23
asacpmatulis: and my guts feeling is that those users have a nfs setup which lacks support for posix locks12:24
asacwhich is strange12:24
asacbut maybe they just have a misconfiguration12:24
asacon client/server side12:24
* gnomefreak goes for breakfast12:24
pmatuliswell a standard nfs setup displays the issue12:25
pmatulishow to force posix locks support?12:26
asacpmatulis: not sure ... i cant know everything ;)12:27
pmatulisasac: ahhh12:28
asacmaybe its also not the problem. maybe our nfs client is _really_ outdated (because its supposed to support flock since 2.6.12)12:28
=== mcasadevall is now known as NCommander
pmatulisasac: there are some server team members floating around the montreal office, maybe i'll inquire12:29
asacpmatulis: ask them yes. maybe there are nfs tweaks or something.12:30
asaclet me know what you find ;)12:30
pmatulisasac: will do12:30
SUNWjoejaxxgnomefreak: yeap i am12:44
gnomefreakMozilla dropped the EULA on first run?13:16
pmatulisasac: possible to use ff3 without sqlite?  didn't think so13:49
asacpmatulis: no13:55
asacfta: NSS_3_12_1_RC214:13
asacfta: we need to bump our hardy branches for that i guess14:13
fta2told you earlier, didn't i ?14:14
asacfta: right. i just had to sort things14:14
asacfta: especially what to do with old nss14:15
fta2you wanted us drop the sonames14:22
fta2+to14:22
asacfta: yeah. can i push that somewhere and you review?14:44
asaci am somewhat not sure if or if not the dh_shlibs works somehow still14:44
fta2asac, after the upgrade of prism, i get the following error:14:45
fta2XML Parsing Error: undefined entity14:45
fta2Location: chrome://mozapps/content/extensions/update.xul14:45
fta2Line Number 14, Column 1:<wizard id="updateWizard"14:45
fta2^14:45
fta2but only once14:45
Jazzvagnomefreak, I suppose you can name the package wizz-rss. I think that name is ok.14:46
asacfta2: but soname changes are not ment to enter hardy (for now)14:47
asacso we can bump those branches ... e.g. just version14:47
fta2indeed14:47
fta2the error above is on "<wizard>"14:53
asacfta2: well. that means that a translation string is msissing14:59
asacor even a "base" string15:00
gnomefreakthanks Jazzva ill finish it tomorrow morning15:02

Volansasac: for the version comparison I have found on MDC install.rdf documentation this phrase:16:13
Volans"For addons hosted on addons.mozilla.org - Mozilla's update website may repackage your addon and correct or reject malformed version strings."16:13
Volanshave you some way to know what characters are allowed in AMO extension's version? I have already searched in AMO without success16:13
pmatulisasac: i confirmed that the NFS/sqlite issue does *not* exist with NFSv417:32
asacgreat17:35
fta2guiness time, cu18:11
=== asac_ is now known as asac
pmatulisasac: again on the NFS issue, would it be feasible to patch firefox so that it looks for the broken scenario upon startup and does the magic required to fix it (essentially remove and move around small files)?18:32
asacpmatulis: no18:41
asacpmatulis: firefox has no chance to figure out when its ok and when its broken due to NFS18:41
pmatulisasac: that's surprising18:42
asacat least so far i cannot see what might identify that scenario18:42
pmatulisasac: no way to programatically determine whether it's database is available?18:42
asacpmatulis: of course not. thats why there is the lock18:42
asacthe lock is the way to determine that18:42
pmatuliswell right now it can't access any data.  that's one crude way of looking at it.  no?18:43
asacpmatulis: no its not. if parentlock is broken we dont even get to the sqlite lock18:44
asacso we have to fix parentlock .lock18:44
pmatuliswhy not just remove them?  clearly the user wants his own profile18:45
pmatulisto be available to himself18:45
pmatulis(sorry if this is crude thinking, i'm not a dev)18:45
asacpmatulis: those locks only exist for one purpose: to prevent access to the profile from _multiple_ processes18:50
asacpmatulis: e.g. user starts firefox on host A ... then goes to a second system starts firefox on host B18:50
asacboth access the same profile18:50
pmatulisasac: right18:51
asacif there were no locks, once host A writes  host B is out of sync ... this means when host B writes you have data loss18:51
asaceven worse: when bost write at the same time you get corruption ... which would be similar to wiping your profile or parts of it18:51
pmatulislooks like FF nor NFS can be changed.  server team suggests NFSv2 locking is not something that can be modified18:52
asacwhat version is it that you are testing?18:52
asaclocking is only supported after nfs client 2.6.1218:52
asacthats a minimum requirement for firefox i would guess18:53
asac(and for sqlite of course)18:53
pmatulishmm, how to tell?  nfs-common package?18:53
asacpmatulis: please find that out ... i dont know. the nfs-common packag version looks to small. otherwise i could tell. but at least we should verify if our nfs client has that minimum version requirement ... but i have no time19:00
asacpmatulis: there should be others in ubuntu that know about that ,)19:00
asacpmatulis: i have no time because here are really high-fires going on19:00
=== mcasadevall is now known as NCommander

asacthere are two kinds: ~SOMETHING ... and ~ubuntu-dev23:54

asac~SOMETHING are either actively developed, suggested for merging or old not properly abandoned branches ;)23:55

asacits ~ubuntu-dev mostly23:55
