App Update / Win Installer status – 2010-07-25
July 25th, 2010 by rstrong
Progress:
- Spent most of the week working on Bug 523410 [Core] – Disable LSPs in WinSock for Firefox [Windows]. I now have a pretty good understanding of the implications of implementing this and believe the benefits are worthwhile.
- Landed on trunk Bug 540537 [Firefox] – In China, set default browser does not work [Windows]. This might not fix all of the issues but it definitely fixes one of the issues.
- Landed on trunk Bug 580579 [Toolkit] – While creating services from category ‘profile-after-change’, service for entry ‘nsUpdateServiceStub’, contract ID ‘@mozilla.org/updates/update-service-stub;1′ does not implement nsIObserver. [All].
- Created builds using 1.9.1 and 1.9.2 for Thunderbird, SeaMonkey, and Sunbird just to be sure that landing Bug 367539 [Toolkit] – When upgrading an existing install use the uninstall.log to uninstall the previous version before install [Windows] on 1.9.1 and 1.9.2 won’t adversely affect them and all is clear to fix this bug on 1.9.1 and 1.9.2.
Future:
- Finish the patch for Bug 523410 [Core] – Disable LSPs in WinSock for Firefox [Windows].
- Fix Bug 544442 [Toolkit] – Add support for signed AUS update snippets [All]. I wanted to get this done last week but the first two items in the progress section got in the way.
- Land on 1.9.1 and 1.9.2 Bug 367539 [Toolkit] – When upgrading an existing install use the uninstall.log to uninstall the previous version before install [Windows].
- Fix Bug 577563 [Toolkit] – Consider renaming log files so they don’t have a .log file extension [Windows]. This bug breaks uninstalls after running a utility that removes log files… meh.
- Get review / land Bug 570689 [Toolkit] – Convert preprocess-locale.pl to a python script [Windows].
- Get review / land Bug 575838 [Toolkit] – Build scripts should be able to handle @BINPATH@/extensions/testpilot@labs.mozilla.com/* in package-manifest.in for the installer [Windows].
- Continue work on silent updates for windows.
