mirzmasterHi there... is there anyone here who can answer a few questions about some firefox-3.5 issues?03:50
mirzmasterI previously raised some issues on a Launchpad bug, but was directed here instead.03:50
micahgsure03:58
micahgmirzmaster: ??04:02
mirzmasteractually micah, we may have talked before, and I think you asked me to ask in channel04:02
mirzmasterbut in any case, I was wondering about the "shiretoko" branding.04:02
micahgsounds familiar :)04:02
micahgyes?04:02
mirzmasterWhy?  :)04:03
micahgIt'll be gone for Karmic04:03
micahg!ff3504:03
ubottuFirefox 3.5 Final is available for Jaunty by installing the package firefox-3.5 and firefox-3.5-gnome-support | FF3.5 is referred to as Shiretoko in your UI, see http://is.gd/1reB3 for an explanation | Hardy & Intrepid: http://is.gd/1jkNY04:03
mirzmasterokay, so the distinguishing btwn ff3 & 3.5 is understandable.04:05
mirzmasterAnother question:  Why shared extensions, searchplugins folders... etc.?04:05
mirzmasterThat actually makes shiretoko somewhat "broken".04:05
micahgwhat do you mean?04:06
micahgubuntu has a princple of one copy of libraries on a system04:06
micahgso shared extensions fit in04:06
mirzmasterRight... except extensions in Firefox can be specific to particular versions.04:06
micahgyes, but Firefox will flag what is not compatible04:07
mirzmasterIn the case of ff3.5, the dictionaries and searchplugins are shared with ff3.04:07
mirzmasterthis results in ff3.5 using the theme from ff304:07
micahgwell, they are provided by ff304:07
micahgthis will be fixed for karmic04:07
mirzmasterit's also using the google plugin for ff3 (old logo)04:07

micahgthose 2 are what you're looking for04:08
micahgyou can subscribe to find out when they are fixed04:09
mirzmasterIn the meantime, I have difficulty recommending ff35 for use to family/friends.  They don't know what "shiretoko" is, and if they look at the add-ons manager they see bunches of disabled addons (dictionaries included).04:09
micahgwell, there's no need ot really use it before karmic04:09
micahgit'll be supported at least until Jaunry04:10
micahgJanuary04:10
mirzmasteri think the need is for the user to determine!04:10
micahgsure04:10
micahgbut you're determining it's not good04:10
micahgff3.5 in jaunty has been a preview04:10
mirzmasterI believe ff35 should either conflict with ff3 or not share extensions/addons for a better user experience.04:11
mirzmasterTrue, it is a preview.04:11
micahgnah04:11
micahgthe extensions that work with 3.5 will work04:11
micahglike flash04:11
micahgthe ones that won't wont04:11
mirzmasterRight, but i could end up upgrading an extension to a version for ff35, and then when i switch back to ff3, it's gone.04:12
micahgnope04:12
mirzmasterwiat, you're right04:12
micahgit should still work with 304:12
mirzmasterinstalled in profile folder04:12
micahgunless it's just in the profile for ff3.404:12
micahgff3.504:12
mirzmastertrue04:12
mirzmasterso the user experience isn't horrible... just confusing.  :)04:12
micahgwell, only if the user isn't familiar with firefox04:13
micahgthe same thing would happen on windows if you have extensions that aren't compatible04:13
mirzmasterI consider myself an advanced user, and even I was perplexed about the ff3 theme in ff35... i thought the package didn't install correctly.  I kept looking at the build date for a clue.04:13
micahgwell, you stumbled on a nother bug :)04:14
micahgbug 39678604:15
ubottuLaunchpad bug 396786 in firefox-3.5 "Default theme missing in Firefox 3.5" [Low,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/39678604:15
mirzmasterThere's also the dictionaries... which i think is pretty bad.04:15
micahgdictionaries are separate actually04:15
mirzmasterreally?04:15
micahgyep in myspell and hunspell packages04:15
mirzmasterwhy does 35 think they are "not compatible"?04:16
micahgwhich ones?04:17
micahgah you mean the language packs?04:17
mirzmasteryeah04:17
mirzmasteri guess that's separate from dictionaries.04:17
micahgbug 40718004:17
ubottuLaunchpad bug 407180 in firefox-3.5 "Firefox 3.5 needs language packs" [Wishlist,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/40718004:17
mirzmasterA preview, indeed!  :)04:17
micahghttps://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-karmic-firefox-3.504:18
mirzmasterI sounds like the resolution for all these bugs is simply to wait for karmic.  Is that inaccurate?04:20
micahgthat's correct for the most part :)04:20
micahgwe will probably get some of the fixes that are specific to the firefox packages in jaunty04:21
mirzmasterBut none related to the shared library strategy?04:21
micahgwhat's wrong with shared libraries?04:21
mirzmasterJust that firefox doesn't seem to have been designed with shared libraries in mind.  And really these aren't libraries as much as version-specific modules/addons.04:22
mirzmasterThey're not meant for cross-version shared use.04:22
micahgsure they are04:22
micahgwe went through that already04:22
micahgthere's a min and max version for addons04:22
micahgthe jaunty addons, most of them only have 3.0.* versions04:23
micahgsome might have 3.5.*04:23
micahgbut the extensions will work on both like flash04:23
mirzmasterright... so sure things won't *break*, but that's to the credit of the robust addons architecture.  But i hardly think that was the intention when Mozilla was designing the plugin system... that addons be shared across multiple versions of firefox.04:24
mirzmasterand of course, i'm only referring to the dictionaries, extensions, plugins, searchplugins folder in /usr/lib/firefox-3.504:25
mirzmasternot the profile-specific ones.04:25
micahgtrue, but it does work04:26
micahgfirefox ships it's own gtk libs and others as well04:26
micahgbut debian/ubuntu have 1 set of shared libs for apps04:26
micahgit's a lot easier to maintain04:26
mirzmasterIs it really a debian/ubuntu maintenance issue to manage those non-profile specific firefox addons?04:27
micahgof course04:27
micahganything system installed falls under the policy04:27
micahgthat's why we're having so much trouble getting songbird into the repos04:28
mirzmasterWell, I can understand xulrunner being shared.  It was designed to be a shared runtime.  But addons, extensions and themes seem to have not been designed like so.04:29
mirzmasterIn the mozilla platform world, those are not shared components.04:29
mirzmasterimho, they shouldn't be in the lib location at all... but just because they are, doesn't mean they were designed to conform to the debian philosophy.04:30
micahgthere are separate versions of xulrunner04:30
micahgwhat harm does it cause?04:30
mirzmasteruser experience harm.  Now we have a 35 preview in jaunty, that while not broken, definitely appears to be a haphazard release.  It doesn't make sense for end-users, and it sounds like 30 and 35 can never really co-exist in jaunty due to a will to shoehorn mozilla into the debian philosophy.04:31
mirzmasterlike i said, sure it doesn't break... but not breaking isn't wonderful enough for end users.04:32
mirzmastersure i can tell friends/family to wait for karmic, but meanwhile they wonder why windows users are using 35 now, but ubuntu users have to deal with a "preview".04:32
micahgit's broken because things are missing from 35, not because of problems with the library storage04:32
micahgwe have bugs open for the issues and will address them04:33
mirzmasterJust looking at the google search icon issue alone... this clearly isn't a problem of something missing in 35.  The image binary data is in a shared location while clearly 35 was designed to have a different icon than 3004:35
mirzmasterthe problem is that we think that a search plugin is a "shared library"04:36
micahgno, that's not the case actually04:36
micahgthat's not a matter of a shared lib04:36
mirzmastersorry, am i mistaken?04:36
micahgand there is a bug open for it as I pointed out above04:36
micahgthe search plugins are only provided by 3.0 at this point04:36
micahgit was never updated04:36
mirzmasterso, were they provided by 3.5, the shared location would not be linked in /usr/lib/firefox-3.5?04:37
micahgwell04:37
micahga sac is still debating whether or not the search plugins should be shared or not04:37
micahgthe goal is to have all these things fixed for karmic04:38
micahgand what we can we'll apply to jaunty as well04:38
mirzmasterhmm04:39
mirzmasterwell, i do applaud the effort.  ubuntu is already great thanks to ppl like you.04:39
* micahg just triages bugs... :)04:40
micahgplease, if you notice anything missing, please bring it up04:40
mirzmasterwe each do what we can.  :)04:41
mirzmasterplease, I hope you can bring my concerns before other stakeholders and decision-makers.  At the end of the day, I'd like to see true ff3 and ff35 co-existance on jaunty.  :)04:42
micahgwell, as soon as the work is done, I can poke for it to be applied to jaunty as well04:42
mirzmasterthank you!04:42
mirzmasteri appreciate your time!04:42
mirzmasterhave a good night (depending on where you are)  :)04:43

asace-jat: hi. help me ... which translation did you represent/try to drive?09:10
gandiasac: png09:42
gandiping09:42
asacgandi: yeah.09:45
gandihey09:45
gandihow's it going?09:45
asacmorning ;)09:45
gandiasac: do you work on that upstreaming stuff?09:47
asacgandi: yes09:54
asacgandi: but progress is regularly disrupted :/09:54
asacgandi: if you have someone young and eager with scripting skills send him to me :/09:55
gandiasac: hmm, I'll ask pike :)09:55
asacjtv: for a while folks claim that we can export translation diffs nowadays ... what is true and what is a tale about it?09:58
jtvasac: not really "diffs" but there's an option to export just the translations that are different from upstream.09:59
asace.g. like .po files for just the changed strings09:59
jtvasac: it's hard-coded gettext.09:59
jtvasac: just take a look at an export page and you should see the option.09:59
jtvasac: although I couldn't swear that it's on all download pages; it may be only the per-pofile ones.09:59
asacjtv: there are two use cases for that: a) upstreaming improvements and b) identifying languages we need to specifically QA and talk to the group at10:00
jtvasac: it was meant for the former, but if it works for more, great.  :)10:00
asacjtv: for b) we would at best have a feature to export all changed strings for all languages at once (or scripted)10:00
jtvasac: well, go play with it.  :-)10:00
asacjtv: david planella says it would be too hard for him to export all languages manually10:00
asachmm10:01
asacjtv: so can i export for multiple languages at once or not?10:01
jtvasac: I don't know off the top of my head; try it!10:01
asac(yes, i will play with it ... just wanted to give him input how we could QA things)10:01
asachmm10:01
asacok10:01
asacthanks10:01
jtvasac: btw I don't know what would happen if you enabled automatic exports to a bzr branch on an XPI project, so better not try that for a while.  :-)10:02
e-jatasac: Malay ..10:03
sebnerasac: mighty asac .. how to eliminate this horrible ubuntu/google default search engine thing?10:03
asace-jat: ok thanks. thats what i thought!10:03
* asac remembers now10:04
asacsebner: tools -> addons -> disable multisearch10:04
e-jatasac: there will be a translation sprint when at global jam soon . we planning for the jam ..10:05
sebnerasac: you are my hero \o/ , don't forget to tell the archive admins to remove that thing from the archive :P10:05
asacfta: hardy ia32libs didnt have nss/nspr?10:43
asacfta: can you update your chromium-ia32libs package (if that has nss/nspr) ... or did you already do that?10:44
paulliu_asunahi. The daily built yesterday failed. Anyone is fixing that?10:47
paulliu_asunaIf not, I'm going to take a look inside it.10:48
paulliu_asunaI mean xulrunner.10:49
andvpaulliu_asuna, ask asac :)11:01
asacpaulliu_asuna: hi. thanks11:10
asacpaulliu_asuna: i removed the patch that failed from trunk ... but i couldnt check if there are any follow up patches that failed11:10
andvasac, anyway the ubutfox thing is really bad11:10
paulliu_asunaasac: hi. Just a simple hunk failed.11:10
andvasac, it would be nice to have a normal startup page11:11
andvasac, and not that one11:11
asacpaulliu_asuna: yeah. but it failed to often causing too much work and i dropped a rational for dropping it in the changelog11:11
asacpaulliu_asuna: but me and fta would be more than happy to have more eyes on dailies in future11:11
asacthere will still be patches that fail frequently11:11
paulliu_asunaasac: ok. Thank you..:)11:11
asacpaulliu_asuna: yo could check if the current patches now apply ...11:12
asacso we know that today dailies work well11:12
paulliu_asunaasac: I fix that hunk and things are working well now.11:12
asacpaulliu_asuna: yeah. thats the _gre_... patch right?11:12
paulliu_asunaasac: yes. bzXXX_gre_extension_plugin_support.patch11:13
asacyeah so lets keep that removed and see if there are any regressions. it was never upstreamed and upstream signalled that they dont want it that way11:13
asacso its good that i finally removed it (and i fought with myself for a while)11:13
asacpaulliu_asuna: can you check if all patches apply with that one removed?11:14
asacpaulliu_asuna: so in future, just drop a note here if you start to work on dailies and suggests merge when done11:14
paulliu_asunaasac: ok. wait.11:14
asacyeah i am here ;)11:14
asacandv: the search thing is NOT IN ubufox11:14
asacplease dont spread that false claim11:15
andvasac, I removed it and it disappeared11:15
asacits a separate extension like i described in my blog posted11:15
asacthe extension is called "multisearch"11:15
asacubufox only sets the homepage default11:15
andvasac, couldnt find it on my add/remove menu11:15
asacbut it does that for ages11:15
paulliu_asunaasac: bz467751_att351167_sysplugin_xre_part.patch failed if totally removed that patch11:16
andvasac, I removed ubufox and now everything looks cleaner11:16
andvasac, it's a bit faster as well11:16
andvasac, I gonna keep this all in extension installed11:17
andvit's a nice ext to have11:17
paulliu_asunaasac: Do you need the refreshed _reg_.patch?? I can send it to you.11:18
asacandv: i wont argue based on such vague claims. what is cleaner, etc.11:18
asacpaulliu_asuna: if its the one i just removed then no.11:19
paulliu_asunaasac: ah, then we have to refresh bz467751_att351167_sysplugin_xre_part.patch11:19
andvasac, yeah, don't get angry now, it was just my opinion11:19
asacandv: i dont get angry, but saying "erything looks cleaner" is just not true. ubufox doesnt change anything in the ui11:20
asaconly thing it adds is one menu entry in tools -> addons11:20
asacso you are definitly just wrong and confuse things here11:20
andvasac, looks cleaner for the fast it has no more that homepage11:21
andv* fact11:21
andvbut has an homepage you can choose11:21
andvfrom preferences menu11:21
asacthen dont say: "everything looks cleaner" ... say: "mozilla default homepage looks better than ubuntu startpage"11:21
andvyep, that's it11:21
asacok11:21
asacthats a valid opinion11:21
andvand that's what a lot of guys said on that bug report11:21
andvI saw some days ago11:22
andvthat's why you made that post on your blog11:22
andvI guess11:22
asacbut thats not going to change. and ndisabling ubufox is not the right answer. just change the homepage for you ;)11:22
asacandv: no. the blog post is about the chrome search and awesomebar search and newtab11:22
andvoh ok11:22
asacandv: and that is shipped in multisearch extension11:22
asacthe homepage has been like that since gutsy11:22
andvmaybe I was used to change it11:23
asacyeah11:23
paulliu_asunaasac: do you need the refreshed bz467751_att351167_sysplugin_xre_part.patch?? I've done it.11:23
asacbut the current ubuntu start page is better than the hardy one11:23
andvyep, that's true11:23
andvbut for a wider use of the google search thing I prefer keeping it at normal stage11:24
andvso without modifications11:24
andve.g changing where I have to search (ubuntu or web)11:24
andvI'm lazy11:24
andv:D11:24
asacyes. all those things are discusesd in the bugs about multisearch11:24
asacthe bug tag we use is "multisearch" ... just search for such bugs and add your input there11:25
andvok11:25
andvanyway asac didnt want to offend you or your work, just wanted to express my opinion about this search thing11:25
andvwhich seems bad for me but could be good for someone else11:26
andvjust different opinions11:26
asacthats ok. its just that this has been discussed for so long so i am tired of talkking about it atm11:26
asacjust check the bugs and read the blog entry11:26
andvfirst time I approach this argument sorry11:26
asacthere is all info you need11:27
asacno problem11:27
andvand anyway my answer to this is changing what is needed for my needs11:27
andvand that's all11:27

asaclet me know if you can do that12:13

asacorig is probably in ppa too14:45
asachehe14:45
asacfta: ok14:45
asacfta: 3.1.head14:45
ftaok14:45
asacyou can also add the firefox meta package there if you want14:45
asacnot sure if we had a firefox-gnome-support meta thing14:46
ftaasac, [Fri 07 01:01] <fta> FIREFOX_3_6a1_RELEASE14:46
asacseems like it ... so that too would be great14:46
asacfta: yeah14:46
asacread about it ... they seem to make a branch for 3.6 now14:46
ftaasac, ? 3.7?14:48
asacfta: not so sure ... they are just talking about it14:48
asacwe will see... i dont see a branch yet. but i guess its a mozilla-1.9.2 ... and the final ffox version is unknown14:48
asacfta: oh also: official branding for 3.1.head ;)14:48
asacbut at best not for dailies14:49
asacunless upstream uses official for dailies, but afaik they dont14:49
ftaasac, er.. 3.5 as default, you mean drop the profile patches, offer to migrate the profile, right? but what about hardy..jaunty?14:56
asacfta: i thought we discussed its ok to make ffox 3.5 default for all dailies15:09
asaci felt happy with that decision15:10
asacis there anything i am missing?15:10
ftajust people running both 3.0 and 3.5 at the same time (for addons)15:10
asacfta: and yes. drop profile patches, offer migration profile ... and make branding official for real releases15:10
asacfta: from what i know the profiles are similar enough that you can switch back and forth15:11
asacfta: and extensions would get disabled/enabled automatically15:11
asacfta: if you want we can make a temporary .head.stable branch used for the stable dailies and see if we get bugs on the profile back and forth thing15:11
asacactually i would like that. but wouldnt wnat to ask for that if its too much work on your behalf15:12
asacin the end i definitly want all dailies to come from same branch15:12
ftai'm just concerned about the "at the same time" part of my sentence15:12
asacfta: you can decide. if you want we can do the head.stable approach and see if we get some kind of complains like that in karmic15:13
asacbtw. nm trunk landed ;)15:13
ftaare you using the bot at all?15:13
asacfta: we have prepared the branches to be usable now i think15:16
asaci dropped the ball to setup it on my own. if you want that i can do that again, but i hoped you can run it for me  ;)15:16
asacfta: you dont need to adjust any patches ... its me and now tony that will do all the work ;)15:16
ftaok15:17
asacfta: i will cleanup the teams so noone not contributing is in there15:17
asacand let you know15:17
ftado you support LOCAL_BRANCH ?15:17
asacok have to talk with someone15:17
asacfta: is that preferred?15:17
asacfta: that should be easy. we have GIT_URL =?15:17
asacwe could map that to LOCAL_BREANCH if thats set15:18
ftano, LOCAL_BRANCH is a local directory, so you can just update instead of co/branch/clone15:18
asacso LOCAL_BRANCH also should do the update of that branch?15:19
ftayou have to create it, look at v815:19
asacnot only use a local git tree to produce tarballs?15:19
asacfta: ok. i will chec that15:19
asacNM branches are not that big though, but we will do it15:19

ftaasac, http://paste.ubuntu.com/249259/15:42
ftaasac, er.. http://paste.ubuntu.com/249262/15:48
=== ejat is now known as e-jat
ftaasac, what about /usr/bin ?16:18
ftaasac, hm, it doesn't work.16:59
ftaasac, if you start /usr/lib/firefox-3.5.2/firefox and update some addons, it restarts 3.0.x17:00
ftaasac, current state of the patch: http://paste.ubuntu.com/249296/17:02
asacfta: sorry had no connection because of knetworkmanager brekage17:18
asaclet me look17:18
asacfta: hmm. that restart thing basically runs /usr/bin/firefox17:19
asaci think its suppose dto run $017:19
ftais that one of our (other) patches?17:20
asacfta: yes.17:20
asacits a bug and we can certainly fix it.17:20
asacfta: is /usr/bin/firefox still 3.0 atm?17:21
asacproblem is that $0 is (because of our script) not the /usr/bin/firefox if you start it that way17:21
ftaasac, yes, am i supposed to change it too?17:21
asacso the restart doesnt work accrodss version upgrade17:21
asacfta: yes thtas part of making it default (actually i think it should be shipped in firefox meta package17:21
asacmaybe 3.0 already does that17:22
ftaasac, i didn't look at 3.0 but i assume it already provides that, so it means it will conflict17:22
asacso maybe in debian/firefox.links17:23
ftai mean, is 3.5 supposed to provide the meta package for *all* distros?17:23
asacok so lets do this. lets put it in firefox meta package (.links or something) now17:23
asacfta: yes17:23
asacwell unless you want to use stable.head for a while as you discussed17:24
ftalet me think about it a bit..17:24
asacyeah me too17:24
asacmaybe we need to dpkg-divert it and think about how we can get out of this trap for future upgrades in a more dilgent fashion17:24
ftafirefox meta will be provided by both 3.0 and 3.5, but 3.5 wins because of the version, right?17:25
asacyes17:25
asacfta: unfortunately the /usr/bin/firefox wasnt in firefox meta package in 3.017:25
asacso we need to divert if we dont do a SRU for that17:25
ftabut to divert it, it should be done both in 3.0 and 3.517:26
asachmm. we can also say Replaces: firefox-3.017:26
asacfirefox (in 3.5 source) replaces firefox-3.017:26
asacthat sonuds like it would work too17:26
ftaok, so my patch is incomplete17:26
asacfta: i think we should use head.stable until we have sorted those issues out17:27
asacin karmic17:27
ftaand it breaks abrowser too. definitely needs more work17:27
asacin karmic its not a problem beecause we can adjust the firefox-3.0 and easily do the veresioned replaces etc.17:27
asacyeah. i think we need to Replaces abrowser-3.0 and firefox-3.0 and move the thing into the firefox meta package in 3.517:28
asacthen we hope that replaces works well for links17:28
asacand that upgrading/reinstalling firefox-3.0 will not make the /usr/bin/firefox thing go back to firefox-3.917:28
asac017:28
ftawell, if we have 1 tester running hardy, that should do17:28
asacwe can ask bugabundo to setup a hardy VM ;)17:28
asaci/you can also check in chroot17:29
asachave a chroot at home ... but not here17:29
ftai also forgot the search/addons links..17:29
ftai need to run. i'll be back in 1~2h17:33
asacfta: yeah. i will try to get online in the lobby later tonight17:36
asacso we can talk about this and about new ideas that we might have17:37
* asac goes to wrapup session17:38
fta trying to overwrite `/usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop', which is also in package firefox-3.0-branding18:50
ftaasac, ^^18:51
ftaso replaces too...18:51
ftaasac, http://paste.ubuntu.com/249376/19:40
ftaasac, at the 1st run, it runs the migrator twice.. i guess it's the same bug, exec firefox from within firefox19:45
