17:16:23 <therube> I used Altos Xenix long before Windows.

21:39:34 <IanN_Away> MattATobin: hi, hope you are well. Do you know any issues with backporting bug 1453487?
21:40:03 <MattATobin> hey IanN_Away
21:40:06 <MattATobin> stand by
21:42:30 <MattATobin> IanN_Away: extensions i would guess doesn't look like change in functionality just making it not scriptable and builtin
21:43:48 <MattATobin> IanN_Away: http://xr.thereisonlyxul.org/seamonkey-2.53/ident?i=nsIDOMEventListener&strict=1
21:47:13 <MattATobin> yeah basically it generally cripples the useability of it and since no toolkit extensions makes it internal to mozilla.. more of the parts we need only for me never thee
21:47:45 <MattATobin> is it blocking other stuff?
21:48:30 <MattATobin> basically if it is an xpcom interface .. changing it breaks extensions and likely the fe
21:48:58 <MattATobin> but its widespread effect and utility in actual practice of existing.. seamonkey extensions.. i dunno
21:49:08 <MattATobin> would have to check em out scan for usage
21:49:32 <MattATobin> do i think the platfom has lost much no but extension wise perhaps
21:49:55 <IanN_Away> MattATobin: could probably skip the idl changes
21:50:39 <MattATobin> yeah idealy you can pull shit like the mozilla js modules where both is preserved
21:52:35 <MattATobin> i'd suggest trying to apply it just leave out removing scriptability and do a common older test case .. if it works ship it if it doesn't back to the drawing board IanN_Away
21:53:39 <IanN_Away> MattATobin: thanks
21:53:46 <MattATobin> cause obviously the codebase at large doesn't require it to be scriptable just some fe and extensions
21:53:50 <MattATobin> right?
21:56:46 <IanN_Away> MattATobin: yeah, just extensions I expect
21:57:21 <MattATobin> yeah if you just keep it scriptable it more than likely will Just Work
21:57:36 <MattATobin> i mean if it doesn't the fe will bust so there you go
21:59:13 <MattATobin> feel like I am missing a piece of info in xpidl.. if I come up with it I'll let you know.. btw if you want some linux testing I am capable of that now
21:59:28 <MattATobin> damn simpler building there than the mess windows is becoming
22:01:12 <MattATobin> heh handleEvent is used for preview of personas
22:01:20 <MattATobin> and to sniff for search engines
22:01:35 <MattATobin> two things firefox doesn't do anymore
22:03:20 <MattATobin> places.. DOMi of course love domi.. and the sdk which means extensions AND devtools (unless you got devtools off the sdk already) yeah i think it will be obvious if it works ot not no sneaky hidden edgecases here it works everything works it doesn't a bunchastuff breaks IanN_Away
22:06:55 <IanN_Away> MattATobin: well i've just kicked off a build with the patches minus removing scriptable to see what happens
22:07:52 <MattATobin> IanN_Away: one day you will have to inform me of this hg dark magic
22:08:04 <MattATobin> how you all accomplish it
22:08:22 <MattATobin> just being able to replay with excludes is facinating to me
22:09:28 <IanN_Away> MattATobin: I just make use of queues
22:23:39 <frg_Away> MattATobin mercurial queues is unique and well suited for this. You just export the patches and add them to a series files. Can move them arround and rebase/change until you decide it it permanent check-in time.
