Minutes

Q1/Q2 goals update

The right page is: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Jetpack/Goals/2012Q2. Should we nuke the old page? Ask the Daves when they get back.

  • Module sharing: at risk
  • landing the loader in Firefox: waiting review from mossop, may land in time
  • cfx-js: some of this will get done, but probably not all of it
  • add-ons UX: current status is unclear

Add-on static analysis and repacking

Alex has written a jetpack-repacker to get dependencies, check xpi against official md5sums, unpack and repack SDK addons. (Need this file in same folder in order to work.)

  • given a xpi, it gives you the list of modules it uses
  • unpack an add-on to source code, and repack
  • checks md5 sums, so we can figure out whether it's using a patched version of the SDK

Can we use it for repacks?

No breaking changes in 1.8 (there were going to be, but they were backed out). Therefore people's add-ons will not get broken if they don't repack.

However, add-ons predating 1.6.1 potentially leak memory and should repack, especially if they use context-menu.

We'll look into repacking add-ons hosted on AMO. Some add-ons can be easily repacked, some can't. Alex will get the numbers on this, and Jeff will coordinate with AMO to get a repack going.

Anything for the 1.8 beta?

HTML localization documentation - Will will send Wes a link to the commit.
