Hi all,
here are the minutes of the LibreOffice QA call on 2012-07-27 14:00 UTC.
Additions and corrections welcome.
attendance: Petr, Rainer, Norbert, Bjoern
completed action items:
+ - Invite active bugwranglers to next call/QA list, CC Rainer (Bjoern)
- authorative close of bugzilla versioning thread (Rainer/Petr)
- adapt scripts for new versioning (Markus)
pending action items:
- write update scenario testcase in Litmus/MozTrap (Kendy)
- Set Cor up with the Community/Forum maintainers at the distros
to better propagate Hackfests, Bug Hunting Sessions etc.
RedHat, Debian, Gentoo still missing
+ - Invite active bugwranglers to next call/QA list, CC Rainer (Bjoern)
- merge 3.5 and 3.6 in one big bibisect repo (Bjoern)
- recheck and tweak bibisect details (Bjoern)
- research how it is done on SUSE/if there is a ready-to-use-extension
for bugzilla email search improvements
- Ping cloph if we can make that switchable to say "Bug" instead of
"EasyHack" when explcitly requested (Bjoern)
- new Bug Hunting Sessions (Cor)
- betas for Fedora (Caolan)
structured manual testing (Yifan/Petr?)
bug wrangling (Rainer):
- bugzilla contract improvements (Rainer):
- while there is some inital latency in a query, results are much quier
and reliably to browse now
- next up: OpenID for Bugzilla
community building/communication:
AI - send list of active wranglers (Rainer) (already done)
bibisect for tinderboxes (Norbert):
- basically works on Linux, OSX. Windows is WiP
- early tests encouraging:
- 100 builds at ~400MB
- Linux a bit smaller, OSX a bit bigger
- at current growth would mean:
- 60MB/day 300MB/week or 15GB/year
- not blocking daily incremental uploads at that size
- even smaller than uploading a full daily build
- 'sampling out' with git rewrite should solve that
- release branch builds still need solving
- possible tweaks:
- sdk generates quite big diffs by having timestamps
- python seems to generate a diff contribution everytime too
- fixing these would make the delta even smaller
- l10n builds would be huge
- OTOH does l10n change that often? (Bjoern)
- builds with symbols are only plus 30MB, might be well worth it
- we still need to have an upload location
- clarify with Thorsten: can we do that on gimli (Norbert)
- bytemark machine is waiting for use
- should continue Bjoerns bibisect series (Norbert)
The next call is on 2012-08-10 1400 UTC.
