Discussion was held publically in #mozdev
Discussed developer priorities
- improved bugzilla Mac OS X detection by adding more versions to OS list
- worked with ccaygill of Mycroft to get HTTP header problem fixed that prevented downloads in IE7
- started styling hg web interface; need some help from Mercurial devs to fix some problems w/ themeing
- some more sponsor work
- integrating cvs database logging and hg/svn database logging in various tools
- updated multi-VCS-capable RSS feed should go live today (ex: http://www.vebzom.org/feed/vcslog/)
- OSCon/Summit planning/prep
- found some bugs in both downloads.MD.o and the update.rdf generation that the Brief project ran into; helped them work-around the problem for now and put them on the back-burner
- agenda for this week includes styling the hg web interface and figuring out what can be done about the /source.html for projects that begin using hg
- we should start figuring out how to coordinate the deploy of hg to production; there's going to be a number of steps so it would be good to go over them in advance and work out any problems before we try it
- we should look more into mod_wsgi since the port should be available now; it'll save a lot of CPU compared to running as CGI
Discussed sysadmin priorities
- some bots were active on the site last week; configuration was changed several times to try to prevent them from affecting the site again
- some planning on a better shared-hosting setup
- helping a project troubleshoot their mailing list config
Web stats/Top 50 page
- no stats updating this week; other sysadmin projects are blocking getting it fixed
Staging server migration
handling low-level sysadmin tasks
- things like stats processing, cvs cleanup, are time-critical but low-level tasks
- in general, we should figure out how to handle these types of tasks so they don't eat up our sysadmin's time
open feedback requests - cvs management
- gjm will get the server setup so we can have a "cvs admin" and setup silfreed w/ the privs
handling feedback mails
- there's still an open bug for integrating feedback list and bugzilla
- silfreed will join the feedback list to do manual bug filing for sysadmin tasks for now
- update the feedback page to recommend filing bugs for common PO tasks (cvs cleanup, mailing list fixes, etc)
Next meeting June 3rd, 2008 @ 15:00 UTC in #mozdev
