chrisccoulsonasac - when was firefox-2 installed by default?01:52
bobby_Firefox 4.0 Beta - Will it include the updated Java engine, or will that be in later beta releases?02:26
kylehuffanybody know if the firefox extension subsystem has a mechanism for packing an NPAPI plugin with the extension? (preferably isolated/private ala chromium)02:37
bobby_Okay, anybody know when 4.0Build 1 is going to be in the daily PPA?03:13
kylehufftoolkit bundle is the answer the first part of my question.. don't know how I missed that on the developer center..03:30
micahgchrisccoulson_: firefox-2 as that package was never a default AFAIK, was firefox before hardy04:28
micahg[reed]: around?04:28
micahgchrisccoulson_: I think we need a Breaks: firefox-2 in hardy, now that I think about it, I agree we shouldn't transition people automatically as some people have certain apps that only work with firefox-205:54
ddecatoraw, i can't connect to the sb servers..06:28
micahgwfm06:29
ddecatorreally?06:29
* ddecator tries again06:29
micahgddecator: which connection?06:29
ddecatormicahg: svn, trying to get-orig-source06:30
ddecatorah, now it's working06:30
* micahg thinks firefox and thunderbird have memory leaks :(06:58
ddecatorthe only time i have a problem with FF is when i have a lot of LP surfing to do06:59
ddecatorit gradually gets slower, but only after using LP a lot..07:00
micahgddecator: it was 2.2GB and when I reopened it, it was 890MB07:02
ddecatormicahg: whoa..07:04
vishmicahg: hehe , and i get angry when firefox reaches ~180MiB  ;p07:06
micahgvish: I have about 15 tabs and 20 extensiosn07:06

micahgugh07:06
micahgtoo late to type :P07:06
vishmicahg: woah! 15tabs , is my regular usage. there is some problem there then07:07
ddecatoronly 1am for you :p07:07
* vish wonders how much memory micahg's sys has07:07
vishi often end up leaving FF open for 1-2days and end up having 30-40 tabs , thats when it starts getting crazy and i restart07:08
vish14 extensions here , but they may be the good ones ;p07:09
vishoh just noticed comment here >  http://www.conceivablytech.com/1572/products/mozilla-posts-firefox-4-0-beta-1/07:15
vishI've had up to 40 tabs open in Firefox with 200 MB of memory used07:15

vishah ha , i have only 2GB :)07:18
vishddecator: you've been hiding the goodies :/07:18
vish;p07:18
ddecatorvish: i'm using it right now, but it's the same as 3.7 so far, just the version changed (and it's supposedly a little more stable)07:19
vishddecator: you should have that up and running in a ppa ;)07:22
ddecatorvish: that's what the daily ppa is for :p07:22
vishddecator: apparently you are quicker that the dailies  :D07:24
vishthan*07:24
ddecatorvish: my fix was for the dailies :p07:24
ddecatorvish: i'm helping to keep them maintained, so micah asked me to get things ready for the version bump07:24
vishddecator: ooh , goody07:25
ddecatorhuh, the pic on lifehacker shows that the beta is referred to as Minefield still on the Windows version...guess my little temporary workaround for the lack of a codename may be alright afterall :p07:26
vishddecator: i'v always been confused about one thing. if i want to use the current [distro stock]stable FF and use the daily ppa for FF3.7 , how do i not have it update other stable stuff? like xul..07:37
=== Lanta is now known as Lantizia
* micahg does that with apt-pinning07:38
ddecatorvish: like keeping FF for lucid untouched, but just having FF 3.7?07:38
vishi'v pinned the mozilla-daily to 40007:38
vishme checks the match07:39
vishddecator: yeah07:39
ddecatorvish: not sure, i like all of my mozilla stuff to be daily, so i've never looked into that :)07:39
vish:)07:40
vishmicahg: i'v set the apt-pinning , > http://paste.ubuntu.com/457219/ , but still i see the xul update from the ppa, what am i doing wrong?08:06
vishi get offered the xul 1.9.11~hg08:07
vish1.9.1.11~hg08:08
micahgvish: on lucid you shouldn't have xulrunner-1.9.1 installed08:10
vishmicahg: oh , i think its a remnant from the pre-alpha lucid!08:11
vishmicahg: so , i should be safe , if i can remove 1.9.1 and leave xul 1.9.2?08:13
micahgvish: yes, just watch your first upgrade to make sure you don't get anything else08:13
vishcool! ..08:14
vishmicahg: neat , thanks.. but out of curiosity , why isnt xulrunner-1.9.1  not being removed when FF3.5 was installed in alpha-Lucid?08:21
vishwhich i guess installed xulrunner-1.9.208:22
micahgvish: we never transitioned away from ti08:24
micahg*it08:25
* vish now confused.. 08:26
vishanyway.. removed xulrunner-1.9.1  :D08:27
micahgvish: I'll explain later when I'm awake ;)08:30
vishmicahg: yeah sure, knowing its late for you now, i didnt probe now :)08:31

jdstrandchrisccoulson: hi!13:31
chrisccoulsonhi jdstrand13:31
jdstrandchrisccoulson: did you happen to see bug #600158 ?13:31

chrisccoulsonjdstrand, not yet. i'm working on bug 60002213:32
ubot2Launchpad bug 600022 in firefox-3.0 (Ubuntu Hardy) (and 1 other project) "package firefox 3.0.19 nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1 failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite `/usr/share/bug/firefox/presubj', which is also in package firefox-2 (affects: 2) (dups: 1) (heat: 18)" [High,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/60002213:32
jdstrandchrisccoulson: sure. curious on the progress on that one to (that was my next question)13:32
jdstrandchrisccoulson: btw, that first can't be that widespread cause, again, can't reproduce and these are things we specifically tested for13:33
chrisccoulsonjdstrand, i'm almost ready to upload a fix. the conffile handling is getting quite complicated though, so it's taking a little while to get right13:33
chrisccoulsoni want to ensure we don't end up with conffile prompts during the upgrade really13:34
jdstrandchrisccoulson: cool. would you mind if I cleaned out the appropriate hardy bits from the ppa (including webkit)?13:34
jdstrandchrisccoulson: oh yes, that is tantamount13:34
chrisccoulsonyeah, i think we can do that now13:34
jdstrandalright, I do it13:34
jdstrandI'll13:34
chrisccoulsonfor the person with the flash issue, we should maybe ask him to try a longer timeout13:34
chrisccoulsonjdstrand - i will create a wiki page with a list of test sequences we should test to make sure the conffile handling works correctly13:51
chrisccoulsoni'm going to upload the updated package now anyway13:51

chrisccoulsonif you get bored ;)15:03
chrisccoulsonmicahg - seems the flash issue is not unique to hardy15:06
chrisccoulsondie flash die15:07
Dimmuxxwhat flash issue?15:07
chrisccoulsonjdstrand, is there much we can do when third party packages break our security updates?15:17
chrisccoulsoni've seen 2 bugs now which are caused by ubuntuzilla15:17
jdstrandchrisccoulson: no, not really. not unless upstream has a patch we can apply15:18
jdstrandchrisccoulson: you might ask asac how he would handle that15:18
jdstrandchrisccoulson: and I'll test the new package in a bit15:18
chrisccoulsonthanks15:19
micahgchrisccoulson: we should do a similar test on Jaunty for FF3.6.6 since there are 2 versions on the system15:58
micahgs/are/might be/15:59
chrisccoulsonmicahg - yeah, we should (although firefox-2 was removed from those)15:59
micahgchrisccoulson: yeah, but there's firefox-3.0 and firefox-3.515:59
chrisccoulsonjdstrand - we'll need to do a corresponding upload of apturl btw16:06
chrisccoulson(as i've moved the preferences back to /etc/firefox-3.0)16:06
jdstrandchrisccoulson: ok16:12
chrisccoulsoni don't think i'm going to work very late tonight16:15
chrisccoulsoni only got 2 hours sleep last night ;)16:15
jdstrandchrisccoulson: you should totally leave early! you did a great job :)17:00
jdstrandchrisccoulson: after I verify ff and apturl on hardy, you ok with me publishing them?17:00
chrisccoulsonjdstrand, yes please, they should be good to go now :)17:01
jdstrandchrisccoulson: fyi, I am on vacation tomorrow through monday. please ask mdeslaur or kees to handle any emergency fixes before I am back17:02
chrisccoulsonjdstrand, thanks. hopefully there won't be any more ;)17:03
jdstrandchrisccoulson: but I'll get these out today17:03
jdstrandchrisccoulson: no, I don't think so. and the one issue was really pretty minor imo17:03
jdstrandchrisccoulson, micahg: awesome job guys :)17:03
chrisccoulsonjdstrand, thanks to you too :)17:03
micahgjdstrand: can we publish Seamonkey in Lucid without the rest or should they all go out at once?17:03
chrisccoulsonand thanks to micahg for helping out too17:04
micahgchrisccoulson: np, wish I could've helped more17:04
micahgjdstrand: yeah, thanks for all the help with this transition17:04
jdstrandmicahg: sure. it's universe. you tell me what to publish and I'll push it (mind you, I don't typically do testing for universe stuff, so I rely on you guys)17:04
jdstrandoh sure17:05
jdstrand:)17:05
micahgchrisccoulson: what do you think, if I get the changelog for Lucid, should we push that out today?17:05
micahgoh wait, it probably won't build until EOD17:05
chrisccoulsonmicahg - re bug 512937 - as kees pointed out to me on a similar report last night, these bugs are actually breakage caused by people using ubuntuzilla. i'm going to close it for now unless you think there's anything we should be doing to work around it17:06
ubot2Launchpad bug 512937 in firefox (Ubuntu) "[MASTER] package firefox 3.6+nobinonly-0ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: update-alternatives: error: alternative path /usr/bin/firefox doesn't exist. (affects: 26) (dups: 5) (heat: 119)" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/51293717:06
chrisccoulsoni don't mind if we publish seamonkey in lucid first - the other releases haven't seen an update for a long time anyway, so it doesn't make much difference17:07
micahgchrisccoulson: yeah , it does seem to be because of Ubuntuzilla17:07
chrisccoulsonmicahg - we could probably work around it in the postinst by checking if the symlink is diverted before creating the alternative17:08
micahgchrisccoulson: I'll see if I can push the Lucid branch up soon17:08
chrisccoulsonand then logging a big warning to the console ;)17:08
micahgchrisccoulson: indeed, but do we want to?17:08
chrisccoulsoni'm not sure. it probably wouldn't be difficult to check, but then having the installation fail gives users a way of knowing that they've done something which has broken their firefox install17:09
chrisccoulsonso it might be ok as it is17:09
jdstrandchrisccoulson: what is the trick with apturl? it used to work sproadically on hardy, but now I am having problems. apturl.js is getting pulled in, cause I see it in about:config. do I need another package installed or something?18:08
micahgchrisccoulson: Seamonkey will have to be tomorrow, I have to get some other stuff done today18:13
jdstrandmicahg: feel free to ping mdeslaur or kess on seamonkey18:20
chrisccoulsonjdstrand - hmm, i'm not too sure about apturl18:31
micahgjdstrand: k, thanks18:31
jdstrandchrisccoulson: does 'firefox apt:dpkg' work for you?18:32
jdstrandchrisccoulson: I get the 'I don't have a protocol handler for (apt)' type message...18:32
chrisccoulsonjdstrand, i just don't get any error message when i try that18:34
jdstrandchrisccoulson: it is goofy I tell you. if I install the one in hardy release, it works, then if I upgrade to what is in the ppa now, it works. if I just install from the ppa, it didn't work18:35
jdstrandchrisccoulson: I'm publishing as is18:35
jdstrandif people want to file a bug, they can...18:36
chrisccoulsonthanks18:36
chrisccoulsoni'm not sure why it behaves like that :/18:36
jdstrandno-- it has always been flaky on hardy. I thought you might know. thanks anyway18:36
micahgchrisccoulson: why did you change the version to 6b18-1.8-0ubuntu1~9.04.1?19:38
chrisccoulsonmicahg - i thought that is what we agreed last week19:45
micahgchrisccoulson: well, it's actually ubuntu2 backported, not ubuntu1, that's why I did 1.09.04.119:55
chrisccoulsonmicahg - yeah, but ubuntu2 is still in -proposed. we can always bump the version number later on if it is copied to -updates before we release19:57
chrisccoulsonit's a bit awkward ;)19:58
micahgchrisccoulson: k19:58
chrisccoulsonreally, we just need some builds though so we can start the TCK :)19:58
micahgchrisccoulson: k19:58
chrisccoulsonthe bug traffic is still quite low after the upgrade19:59
micahgchrisccoulson: indeed, I hope that's a good sign :)19:59
chrisccoulsonbut i've been reading threads on ubuntuforums from users complaining that 3.6.6 is really slow :/19:59
micahgchrisccoulson: I also seem to have a memory leak in 3.6.x20:00
micahgchrisccoulson: I'll have to dig deeper later this month...there's just so much to do :)20:00
chrisccoulsonyeah, there is. a few people have mentioned that performance is really bad on maverick too, but i've not tried that yet20:01
* micahg is out for a bit20:01
micahgchrisccoulson: would it be ok for jdstrand to publish thunderbird 3.0.5 to lucid if he has time?21:08
chrisccoulsonyeah, we should do that21:09
micahgchrisccoulson: i'll finish up my thunderbird fixes for maverick for upload on Friday21:09
jdstrandmicahg: I do not have time. I have not tested them at all and have other updates I am publishing today. if it can't wait til next week, ask mdeslaur or kees21:31
micahgjdstrand: no, there's just 1, Lucid21:31
micahgjdstrand: k, I'll ping someone tomorrow then21:31
jdstrandthanks21:31
jdstrandmicahg, chrisccoulson: fyi, I let the security team know you may ask to publish thunderbird. However, we typically won't publish on Friday, so if they are unable to get to it tomorrow, I will get to it early next week21:54
chrisccoulsonjdstrand - thanks. yeah, i'm reluctant to do a friday release, especially after already having a panic once this week ;)21:54
jdstrandmicahg, chrisccoulson: in other words, they will prioritize based on severity of CVEs and the work they are currently doing (like normal)21:54
jdstrandchrisccoulson: heh. you did great man :)21:55
chrisccoulsonthanks :)21:55
micahgthanks jdstrand22:03
* micahg never likes the idea of releasing production stuff on Friday 22:03
Dimmuxxmicahg: will you put 4.0b1 build 1 here https://edge.launchpad.net/~micahg/+archive/mozilla-beta? Or will it be a more official beta ppa?23:13
micahgDimmuxx: more official probably23:14
