frg_Away and all heads up: thereisonlyxul.org cross-reference will go down at some point today for a switch over to the larger server and all the Mozilla trees and 102 and 115 esrs will be added.
-
CoordinatorTobin
and brought back
-
CoordinatorTobin
are there any other comm trees besides comm-esr52 you guys want while I am doing it?
-
CoordinatorTobin
would 60 or 68 be of help?
-
frg_Away
thanks for the heads up.
-
frg_Away
CoordinatorTobin dxr... is ok for me here. I personally don't need these.
-
CoordinatorTobin
mozilla-central with comm will be back tho ;)
-
CoordinatorTobin
that should he halpful
-
frg_Away
Rarely need anthing less that 60 now. I usually check the files with tortoisehg then in central or older esr. But 2.53 is a lifesaver :)
-
CoordinatorTobin
dxr / searchfox still isn't as NICE to use but it does have some extra capabilities mxr didn't
-
CoordinatorTobin
come on.. green mozilla vs a light gray gradient searchbar
-
CoordinatorTobin
you know which is the better experience frg_Away ;)
-
CoordinatorTobin
That's beyond the nearly ∞ gigabytes worth of content that is indexed here.
-
frg_Away
I need the annotate and revisions functions most of the time which are only available in dxr unfortunately.
-
CoordinatorTobin
frg_Away: mxr can do HG revisions it still has hg specific features.. git not so much
-
CoordinatorTobin
But this was also why I orginally wanted to gradually fork it to php and add those features
-
frg_Away
It will be interesting what happen when they switch to shithub. I hope the old archives stay readyonly but do not have high hopes.
-
CoordinatorTobin
Mozilla says they are aiming for a pure full history repo
-
CoordinatorTobin
not just reusing gecko-dev as-is
-
CoordinatorTobin
as for the hg repos
-
CoordinatorTobin
well like cvs they will likely run it until they no longer have an internal need .. like svn too
-
CoordinatorTobin
well I figured out the goals for my xhtml xre example
-
CoordinatorTobin
Functional Feature Goals: Main Window with Menubar, Toolbar, Single Browser (not tabbed), and statusbar, a Preferences Window, Downloads Handling, and Places (History and Bookmarks).
-
CoordinatorTobin
menubars are still xul tho not xbl, thunderbird has solutions for customizable toolbars and a statusbar .. prefwindow has no ce equiv it's just dialog most of the time if not in-content so that will likely be unimpressive, thunderbird again has a solution for downloads but places can also host it.
-
CoordinatorTobin
waterfox has solutions for overlays and a bootstrap form of mozilla extensions
-
CoordinatorTobin
and some of it came from thunderbird too
-
CoordinatorTobin
the pieces or equiv or emulated are all there it just needs assembling in a way anyone can make use of
-
CoordinatorTobin
I wish all the conversion scripts were

therube
a decade old bug,
bugzilla.mozilla.org/966662, that someone bumped a year ago, that a bot happened to bump, today, that i, by pure coincidence happened to come across, & it took McCreight (whose post was not there when i looked at the bug) to say what should have been said, ages ago ;-)
-
CaptainTobin
So more stuff means more memory eh?
-
CaptainTobin
Let's remove composer
-
CaptainTobin
that will save memory
-
CaptainTobin
and honestly who the hell actually uses it practically speaking
-
CaptainTobin
if frg_Away up and said kill composer I'd drop everything I was doing and do it lol
-
frg_Away
CaptainTobin there are still people using it. Does not save much memory if you remove it I bet.
-
CaptainTobin
What if you split it out?
-
CaptainTobin
just pull a standalone composer job
-
frg_Away
Maintaing the status quo is not imuch work. If something breaks it is usually in the shared editor component with mailnews.
-
CaptainTobin
ah
-
frg_Away
What I would really like is Ctrl+3 to link to to the calendar and decouple it a bit from mailnews. One of these days which will probably never come...
-
CaptainTobin
make calendar able to open in its own winder, frg_Away?
-
CaptainTobin
i mean simplest way to fake it would be make a new window with sm's version of tabbed mail to a document and load up the mailtab
-
CaptainTobin
I mean except for linking mail contacts to events the calendar should not explicitly require mailnews ui functionality anymore than what overlays expect
-
CaptainTobin
which can be changed
-
CaptainTobin
and faking it first will be able to judge user response if they react poorly or don't care then dump it and its minimailtab window.. if they like it then do it for real
-
CaptainTobin
least that is how I would handle it
-
frg_Away
yes. Something like lightbird. I find the current ui confising. On the other hand invitations need to be managed so it still needs to interact with mail accounts. Suspect needs a redesign and much thought to make it happen in a good way.
-
CaptainTobin
not much of one
-
CaptainTobin
and that could be imported
-
CaptainTobin
remember sunbird was a standalone application
-
CaptainTobin
the real issue is newer calendar IS an integrated part of thunderbird since no mozilla extensions and no overlays
-
CaptainTobin
but the one you currently have
-
frg_Away
yes but if you have more than one email account and want to link to calendar events...
-
CaptainTobin
I see
-
CaptainTobin
yeah a bit of redesign may be warrented
-
frg_Away
nuking the extension would be not much of a problem.
-
CaptainTobin
but I am sure the mail BITS can be selectively called without all of mailnews ui being involved
-
CaptainTobin
maybe what SHOULD be done is ignore mail integration for the moment and work on cloning and adapting the calendar UI as a seamonkey component backend in comm/calendar and fe in comm/suite/components
-
CaptainTobin
or wherever you place top level components in the tree
-
CaptainTobin
the extension form just works as normal until mail integration is worked out and that is switched over
-
CaptainTobin
also avoids patchqueue until the switchover with mail integration
-
CaptainTobin
then we just either kill or ifdef calendar's extension ui off to MOZ_THUNDERBIRD
-
frg_Away
well currently one calendar is linked to one email addy so it might not need much redesign initially. But as I stated one of these times. Too much on the platter and need to fix web compatibility first :(
-
CaptainTobin
oh no doubt it is a longer term project
-
CaptainTobin
but sure a revamped seamonkey calendar UI that sounds fun
-
CaptainTobin
frg_Away: do you happen to know on linux would you imagine being able to build both UXP and Modern Mozilla likely means I have all the deps to build seamonkey lol
-
CaptainTobin
or just what the redhat deps are
-
frg_Away
Given that I am able to build in CentOS 7 and Rocky 8 it yes it should work. 9 was missing python 2 and I scrapped the vm but we are now py 3 so probably there too.
-
CaptainTobin
well i have python 2
-
CaptainTobin
so
-
CaptainTobin
this is fedora 39
-
CaptainTobin
frg_Away: I have this in my kickstart file
dpaste.org/o3Mtk/raw ALL the dev i need
-
CaptainTobin
so let's see that makes.. xref, weave, de-kinoization, and now calendar as a component I have basically promised lol least xref happened
-
CaptainTobin
kinto*
-
CaptainTobin
hello Hendikins
-
CaptainTobin
how goes it?
