Agenda
- Last meeting: DSDP/TM/Committer Phone Meeting 23-Jan-2008
Current Work
- Skype Call Quality
- M5 upcoming - Test and endgame plan?
- Want M5 finished by Friday Feb 15 --> Risky checkins to be complete by Friday Feb 8 --> Test run on Tuesday Feb 12
- First PII drop on Feb 25th, Deadline until end of M6; try to minimize any wholesale changes after Feb.25th
- PII Changes for UI/Non-UI Splitting e.g. bug 190231 SubSystem, bug 211067 SystemMessages in Services
- TM 2.0.3 upcoming Feb.29 -- 2.0.3 assigned bugs, any else?
- Planning - AI Martin to write up what we discussed in Toronto
- Think about assigning bugs to target milestones. What goes into 3.0 and what not?
- Eugene new committer
- TM Website
- bug 216197 Bugs link on the side nav bar is broken by that latest changes
- Kevin: Would like to change the TM website to be more like the Mylyn/RAP sites. Custom Nav bar, front page showing the product instead of a mission statement, etc. Is it okay to make changes in a new folder tm-new? Then can push it to the main site if everyone likes the changes?
- Martin: Would like to discuss the intended changes before going ahead. But sure you can create any new pages that are not linked from the main page at any time.
- Martin: Would like to get more dynamic information onto the homepage in an automated manner e.g. automated release notes with milestones
- Bug Fixing - Remember our 2-fix-per-week / 3 unittests-per-milestone plan
- Since our DSDP/TM/Face-to-face Meeting Toronto 17-Sep-2007 it's now 16 weeks / 4 milestones, so each committer is due 32 fixes / 8 unittests
- Current situation is on this bugzilla report
- Unittests: Xuan, DaveM, Javier added some; Martin 0; not sure about others; Martin working on Releng scripts next
- Next BugDay/February_2008 on Feb 29
- Javier busy until end of Feb; hoping to get time for hi-pri bugs (but not new features)
- DaveD's bugs are largely interrelated, currently working on bug 197036 - some impacts on teamview, nopefully get done today or tomorrow
- RDC people want to import/export connections rather than profiles - want to see filters self-contained in connection. Might want to solve this by treating connection as a profile with a single connection, and merge it into a different profile. Or store the stuff under the connection itself.
- This is maybe related to bug 160403 Filters should be connection-private by default
- DaveM: -
- bug 209703 - Can one property page affect the contents of another property page?
- EFS and encodings - DaveM to put Martin on CC of the bug(s) he filed against Platform
- (TPF) product teams extended SystemView in the past, which is now internal: provide a public Composite that wraps SystemView and that they can extend? E.g. they provided workspace objects along remote objects. AI file bugzilla items for concrete use cases and discuss them there.
- bug 207180 - Remove "Encoding" control from the Property Pages
- bug 209593 - UNIX permissions and ownership
- Martin finds it odd that IRemoteFile adapts to IFilePermissionsService... shouldn't the IFileService adapt to it? -
- Martin thinks that IHostFile objects should be immutable in order to make caching and threading safer - can we get rid of IHostFile#renameTo() ? Only the actual (Service) implementation should be able to create / change IHostFile objects. How to deal with "pending" permissions? Use a queue to avoid duplicate queries in dstore?
- unlike permissions, "name" identifies a file via getAbsoluteName() -- that led to problems in the past
- boils down to the question how reiably we think we understand the remote system
- similar to what we had with setReadOnly() -- need to know when we need to refresh
- Martin: The SERVICE should decide whether it wants to re-query or use the (locally modified) object
- Dave: But if it's delegated to the service, we need to make the UI aware of the changes
- Kevin: -
- Xuan: -
- Martin: - Need to put Project Plan on the Web; Update Releng scripts to automatically run unit tests at night
