frg_Away: is there a reason beyond haven't got to it yet that comm on top is being maintained in build config?
-
frg_Away
nsITobin no mostly just leftovers I think. No longer works
-
nsITobin
mind if I clean it out?
-
frg_Away
nsITobin I think I did in suite. Wanted to check TB patches for the remaining parts.

-
nsITobin
it seems
-
nsITobin
really none of this is required
-
nsITobin
i am surprised thunderbird didn't remove all of it
-
nsITobin
but they kept the commtopsrcdir part
-
nsITobin
there must be a tooling advantage cause basic release enginering would not matter
-
frg_Away
Happy if you backport relevant parts and we will then see what is left.
-
nsITobin
well my instinct is to just take a push broom and shove it all out the door but following the bug first is a better idea because I need to get the TB parts as well and why search when the patch is here.. I know where the files are.. least I should lol
-
nsITobin
patch..es
-
nsITobin
lol
-
frg_Away
I alo wondered some time ago why there were leftovers. But they didn't break anything so just abstained doing something
-
nsITobin
I honestly don't know why comm isn't just remerged into mozilla-central and maybe that's why .. if they get merged back in for being good little boys and girls it would make it easier to resume being /mail
-
nsITobin
the fantasy of "the firefox codebase by mozilla" remains laughable as long as Thunderbird exists and is building right along side
-
nsITobin
I predict the following will happen (oh joy predictions) that once suite is out of cc and mailnews calendar et all is merged into mail/ then mail/ will be merged into mozilla-central as a reunified mozilla to prove they never caused any division in the first place.
-
nsITobin
if it doesn't bankrupt first
-
nsITobin
that is
-
nsITobin
ugh i wish they had desinated part numbers to these patches cause some of it removes rdfs we need
-
frg_Away
I usually enter the bbug number in thg for multipart patches in the filter field. Then I just export them all into the reight patches directory and dd them to the series manually. Makes sure I gt the latet versions and pretty easy to do.
-
frg_Away
^right patches directory
-
nsITobin
how do you resolve conflicts?
-
nsITobin
doesn't it generate a bunch of rejection files and such
-
frg_Away
hg qpush -v -> edit rejects -> hg qrefresh Now and then compare now and then with the original.
-
nsITobin
on git rejects are a nightmare
-
frg_Away
pretty easy with mq
-
frg_Away
Only renames or copies with changes to the file are problematic.
-
nsITobin
mozilla does a lot of that tho lol
-
frg_Away
If too many rejects I just do hg qpop and try to find missing prerequisites
-
nsITobin
well after diving in for weeks tangibly.. i see a million things that can be done and that is not including the more practical bits like build system, rust, and webcompat
-
nsITobin
this is not a bad thing btw.. just helps prove there is still something in all this
-
frg_Away
yeah I "juggle" around these things too.
-
nsITobin
well now that I have regained vmware virtualization on linux and my windows vm is running acceptably well.. as long as that stays working my capabilities are only limited by time and energy
-
nsITobin
well composer has issues
-
nsITobin
it is not disabling inline spellchecking in most modes
-
nsITobin
ok now it is
-
nsITobin
oh that's funny domi messes up composer
-
nsITobin
somehow
-
nsITobin
so someone felt it very important to one, get access to an amazon box two navigate to binaryoutcast.com three hit the link to irc, and four type in the nickname "tobin_is_a_fat" and join and then close the page. Meanwhile I am doing a private --disable-mailnews patch because its some psycological obsession i guess
-
nsITobin
which may explain them lol
-
nsITobin
speaking of frg_Away have you attempted managing multiple patchqueues?
-
nsITobin
i mean on the same repo
-
frg_Away
no. Not supported and would mean a qpop qpush --all when renaming the ptches directory.
-
frg_Away
^patches directory

tomman: LibreOffice? no. there's nothing that compares to MSWord, I'd say
-
njsg
I think the StarOffice codebase actually outputs sane-looking code compared to Word
-
njsg
Which is amazing, because it's not like Office lacked a web page editor...
-
njsg
nsITobin: how is DOMi having trouble with composer?
-
tomman
As someone that used to model webapp reports in OpenOffice.org/LibreOffice, then exporting them to HTML, I had to spend quite a lot of time cleaning CSS junk
-
tomman
but yeah, MS Office is far worse with its proprietary IE-only VML crap
-
tomman
not to mention outright broken CSS
-
tomman
and a lot of Office-specific junk because the Office team decided to figure out how to encode Excel metadata (formulas, etc) in HTML, should nobody want to edit the generated file as a Excel book again
-
njsg
maybe they're just not cleaning up, as it nowadays is XML. I really have not much of an idea
-
njsg
last I used MS Office, the main format was still CDF (which I still rank as the most widely supported one)
-
njsg
last I used MS office, you could have a cat in the screen
-
» njsg goes look for photos of said cat in the screen with cats on the screen too
-
nsITobin
njsg: I dunno exactly
-
nsITobin
i was inspecting how the editor widget worked and somehow it stopped responding to commands and such being dispatched like disable spellchecker
-
nsITobin
closed it opened it seems fine (without domi focused on it)
-
nsITobin
the second time i couldn't even switch views
-
njsg
hm, if you ever get in that situation again, make sure the editor has focus, and a blinking cursor
-
njsg
and check the error console for any errors
-
nsITobin
it stopped producing errors the second time things would just not do anythinh the first time a slew of errors happened but i didn't catch them properly
-
njsg
there is an issue with how commands are handled, they're "bound", I think, to the editor, not the window, so some commands don't work if the editor is not selected
-
nsITobin
i will be on the lookout for it doing it again tho
-
nsITobin
njsg: being nearly still xpfe in design and all that?
-
njsg
-
njsg
so it's possible that was the command problem, unless you're sure it had focus
-
njsg
not switching views, I'd expect it to be an error in the mode change code, but that's just a guess
-
nsITobin
sorry njsg tacos happened
-
nsITobin
i am back now

someone tried to serve HTML there... why?!
-
tomman
but it gets better: <title>Flood damage at Noah’s Ark attraction in Kentucky | <span class="tnt-section-tag no-link">Kentucky News</span> | WPSD Local 6</title>
-
tomman
how considerate of them, they escaped it :P
-
tomman
no, wait, WHY THERE IS HTML-LIKE CODE INSIDE A <title> TAG!?

wonder if such a markup can be exploitable on specific *nix desktop environments
-
tomman
or cellphone junk
-
njsg
tomman: I'm guessing some rule grabbed the in-content title to make the title, and then the markup was updated to have more spans....
-
njsg
uh, funny
-
njsg
metadata doesn't show the same for other title-like fields (Page info dialog, first tab)
-
njsg
I was wondering if this could maybe be "it works for facebook etc"
