week’s status:
couple of bug fixes.
Bug 507339 [Toolkit:Application Update] – Test more files in the complete / partial mar files and check file permissions
Bug 509161 [Toolkit:Application Update] – Remove support for XRE_UPDATE_ROOT_DIR on WinCE
Bug 507481 [Toolkit:Download Manager] – Check for Windows version in download manager shouldn’t be done for Windows CE
The 4.8.1 Beta of NSPR landed on 8/7 which included fixes for bugs that allows us to get the OS and version on WinCE as well as a configure change so we now have an ABI for WinCE which is needed for blocklisting, extension manager components, and app update. The following are the related bugs for this from the previous week.,br>
Bug 504437 [Toolkit:Build Config] – blocklist and update requests have bogus information on WinCE
Bug 507513 [Core:Build Config] – Need ABI defined for WinCE / WinMo [Win]
Bug 507506 [NSPR] – ntmisc.c _MD_WindowsGetSysInfo needs to handle Windows CE
updater ui is now displayed when applying a mar file on trunk. Will land on branch as soon as it is approved.
Bug 507338 [Toolkit:Application Update] – updater.exe update in progress dialog isn’t displayed
successfully applied a 11.5 MB complete test mar file on the nv device numerous times without failures.
met with Madhava about updater ui for WinMo Fennec since I am touching that code atm and I have a patch in progress. The bug will probably make it obvious why it must be different on WinMo.
Bug 510162 [Toolkit:Application Update] – Updater dialog should size itself appropriately on mobile devices [Win]
Bug 510836 – I believe this is the last remaining showstopper for getting updates working on WinCE / WinMo.
loose threads:
dolske and I were discussing the NO_EM_RESTART env var which is used to prevent restarting indefinitely. Since WinCE doesn’t support this I suspect it doesn’t work on WinCE.
will we need to support smaller screens than the nv screen on WinCE (not asking about WinCE / WinMo)?
the update wizard is way too large on small devices though it seems fine on the nv device… Fennec is in pretty bad shape for this ui.
next targets:
Bug 315278 [Toolkit:Application Update] – Update process produces a broken application when disk space is low
finish the updater ui for WinMo Fennec
Bug 510162 [Toolkit:Application Update] – Updater dialog should size itself appropriately on mobile devices
other work not applicable to WinCE:
Bug 504911 [Toolkit:Application Update] – Failed partial doesn’t show ui for complete update for Firefox 3.0/3.5 partner builds from Yandex
Bug 407875 [Toolkit:Application Update] – Unprivileged users are not notified of security updates
Installer work
Bug 508684 [Firefox:Installer] – Add Ability to Change “Firefox as your default browser” and inform of upgrade on Summary step
Bug 496207 [Firefox:Installer] – Workaround zombie firefox.exe process during install
