Sorry guys for not updating sooner, was working on my extension most of weekend. The crashing on start has been fixed...if you couldnt tell already

by a bug that I'm not allowed to view so I couldn't copy the bug info to post and didn't see anything in bonsai that gave any hints to fixing the crashing.

Today's nightly build for branch was about 700 kbytes big... what's new or fixed?

Posted May 9th, 2006, 2:42 pm

335540 continuing patches? There's other stuff in the bonsai listing, too.

Check the tinderbox page, the tree is closed.

"hence lack of fixes" why? there are still so many bugs...

Posted May 10th, 2006, 4:21 am

Well I'm sure patches are still being created...just not checked in.

Don't worry there will be a lot of chickens once the tree opens.

I'm unfamiliar with the term "The tree is closed" what exactly does that mean?

Posted May 10th, 2006, 10:07 am

"The tree" refers to the repository in which the source code for the application is held. It's a tree in the same way a filesystem is a tree - folders and sub-folders.

Usually, a longish list of people are allowed to change anything in the tree. When the tree is closed, only certain super-beings are allowed to make changes. This means changes are made in a much more controlled fashion, which means the effects of individual changes can be more readily assessed.

That doesn't stop anyone working on fixes, as they'll be working on a local copy. It just means that when they're ready to "check in" their changes, they have to wait.

What's with the recent 'check for updates' non-functionality (nightly builds) on the 1.5.0.4 builds? It was working fine until a few days ago. (Just like 1.5.0.4 has been working fine, for me, at least...). But I'm having to run full replacement installs from ftp site

With the tree closed, should we bother worrying about nightly 'check for updates'
and just simply pull a build from the standard location
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/ ... illa1.8.0/ periodically?

Posted May 11th, 2006, 4:21 am

Yes you should still update to make sure nothing gets broken by one of the patches that may be checked in. There have been quite a few things checked in that are firefox only but some other checkins also affect TB.

Great, thanks supernova_00

Anyone know why Enigmail broke between 0510 and 0511 trunk nightlies? (Using Enigmail 0508 to 0510 trunk nightlies.)

=edit=
Okay, okay, I just realised... mamoth change hit trunk...
