Current Status - Posted on 2010-05-10

Done:

Working on bugs/enhancement requests on the topfails website.

Tried [ unsuccessfully ] to create a backPort tracking application for changeset landings. The idea is to ask for a release branch and check if all the relevant landings on the branch are ported appropriately to all the current & active named-branches. Unfortunately, the logic of deciphering what are current active named branches on a given release is not trivial.

Next:

May 21st is my last working day with Mozilla.

Coordination:

Working on winding down and hand-off of the tools/scripts I develop/maintain to A-Team.

Done:

  • Finished up bug 584175 to the point where the ETW probes gave MSR what they wanted, though I don't know the outcome from their side.
  • Split 588537 (ETW implementation) out of 584175 (probe unification). 584175 is r+'ed, NPOTB. Currently trying to land.
  • PTO
  • Acquired new desktop system. Set up as distcc server, VM host. (Windows 7 only so far.) My laptop is useful again! (Had to dedicate it to Windows 7 build stuff; now back to Linux.)
  • Acquired Mac laptop for repairing dtrace support.

Next:

bhsieh

Done:

  • Fixed Ts regression by writing on shutdown. Relanded.
  • Did some investigation on allHUDServiceTests.js ,I think that the issue is some timing problem (not really caused by startupcache).
  • Got talos Ts numbers for scache + mozJSCmpLdr + xulPrototypeCache. Doesn't show any perf win, this is bad/confusing.

Next:

  • Investigate talos Ts more, see why / if it differs from vlad / joelr's script which showed a perf win earlier.
  • Do work on cache invalidation stuff, looks like mwu is really close to finishing his part. (bug 533038)
  • Heard this morning that make may not invalidate on OSX. zpao is filing the bug.

  • Find things to put in startupcache or take some beta blockers?

Bug 499904 - after exploring adding DBus handling directly into Fennec as part of the phone support component, I'm instead writing a small proxy utility that will intercept Maemo browser requests and use them to launch Fennec.
