nsITobin
well i think we will see our Ted Cruz spanner again.. he just won re-election by the dumbasses in this state
-
WG9s
frg_Away: Ilandedd 2 just no clue what to do with the tobin crp
-
nsITobin
delete it
-
nsITobin
doesn't matter anymore
-
WG9s
OK are you sure?
-
frg_Away
nsITobin central stuff?
-
WG9s
central stuff is what I was asking about.
-
nsITobin
I am giving strong consideration to shutting down everything and just vanishing.. and focusing soley on my own survival
-
WG9s
nsITobin: reason not sure was i had said would need patches and you did not seem to submit any
-
WG9s
so with aptches expaloning the issue and how the patch fixes it woudl be just a great thing
-
MattATobin
those patches weren't developed that way
-
MattATobin
they were focused on fixing things not satisfing proceedure
-
MattATobin
they need redone and I am not likely to do them
-
MattATobin
because I have to figure out how I am gonna survive as a MAGA Traitor on disability when trump is gonna gut social security so excuse me for not being all about mozilla's nonsense today
-
MattATobin
with btw no friends and my family is dead
-
WG9s
MattATobin: I kind of feel same way today about election results. but not sure that sould alster what we try to do for SeaMonkey
-
MattATobin
so yeah
-
MattATobin
is the seamonkey counsel gonna pay me a living wage when social security gets screwed over?
-
WG9s
i wil ask again in af ew days. give you time to figure out how you are dealing with this. Actually I have the same issue so my idea was to just do SeaMonkey things I guess you are on the opposite approach.
-
WG9s
so I have 4 of your pending patches listed here
wg9s.com/comm-central
-
WG9s
i did take one of your patches adn land the mozilla part sithout it being dependent on the comm part so just an #ifdef MOZ_SUITE rahter than depending on a no where documented definition
-
frg_Away
MattATobin sorry to hear. Lets first see how things pan out.
-
MattATobin
i don't even remember how many patches I had before I had to stop six months ago so you can try and figure them out
-
MattATobin
i would have to start again from scratch
-
frg_Away
wrt patches I did thre same with the library and while I think it was the right thing to do then I would avoid it now. Trying now to get places to 60 without the functionality loss mozilla added. Have no idea what is really in so need to go thru the mizilla patch queue.
-
WG9s
MattATobin: so are you saying I should ditch the 4 patches for you I am still carrying in my builds?
-
MattATobin
do you get a working buoy window in your builds?
-
MattATobin
because if not it needs redone because I obviously made a mistake somewhere and it needs redone
-
MattATobin
either in explaining or impl
-
WG9s
MattATobin: it was only yesterday that I relaized that to get a buoy i needed to add a mozconfig option so just a day trying to get a buoy window
-
MattATobin
-
MattATobin
If I had focused on it at the time I likely would have navigator.xhtml SOMEWHAT working by now cause I'd just do it like the toolkit transition and just modify it with Firefox crap and make it look like netscape
-
MattATobin
that is literally this project's core mo
-
WG9s
MattATobin: so for some readon I missed that form a month ago so build going now is first one where I am building sith the buoy enabled
-
WG9s
enabled that a few days ago but no sucdessful build with that. the pending wone would be the first one
-
MattATobin
its what i was so excited about when I got SOME sort of window and was able to spawn and even adhoc fudge in overlay support using that former-jsm
-
MattATobin
but that was months ago things have changed
-
WG9s
let's see what happens tonight this is actualy the fist build acter I added the mozconfig line that might actually be successful
-
MattATobin
this is what you should be able to get assuming my patches weren't busted by platform changes
storage.binaryoutcast.com/pub/labs/pipedreams/screenshot-2.127a1.png
-
MattATobin
if it works for you WG9s I will see if I can clean up my patches and file bugs for them that is what I been LARGELY waiting for.. that and central is so devoid of joy
-
WG9s
no have net yest got it to work. I will let ou know. I think a better name that developement buoy might be emercgency UI
-
MattATobin
I just dunno how much it will matter.. I spent a decade doing Pale Moon and way more than any project including this one (yet) and it fell apart for me for reasons the american public JUST deemed invalid.
-
WG9s
so like a UI that works if it ails before brining up the real ui
-
MattATobin
Ah i was just sticking to the nautical theme
-
WG9s
;-)
-
MattATobin
you know I like naming schemes right?
-
WG9s
but then called it a lifeboat
-
MattATobin
well i didn't want to freak tb devs out given their lack luster response
-
MattATobin
might have backfired
-
frg_Away
MattaATobin well if it wasn't fro SeaMonkey I would quit IT.
-
MattATobin
if seamonkey made a bold central statement with an emergency component for disaster recovery
-
MattATobin
could have accelerated their plans to kick us out
-
MattATobin
or look like a desperate attempt to stay latched onto mozinfra
-
frg_Away
My money is still on 2.53 99% and I still think it can evolve alone.
-
WG9s
frg_Away: so then why do you ask me to do these central builds nightly?
-
MattATobin
I understood it as compairitive analysis and testing LARGELY and translation
-
MattATobin
which is what motivated how I approched it
-
frg_Away
because we still need them for l10n and as a last insure policy among other things.
-
MattATobin
cause PARTS are coming down to 2.53 regardless
-
MattATobin
right?
-
frg_Away
yes
-
frg_Away
Lately mozilla cleaned up confvars.sh and this is something I would like to 2.53 too.
-
MattATobin
they moved to moz.configure
-
frg_Away
yes.
-
frg_Away
If I like moz.configure is another case but stuff scattered all over different configs s*cks.
-
MattATobin
still hate how moz.configure is done internally but the app moz.configure does save some time cause you don't have to split between confvars and configure.in
-
MattATobin
and has logic
-
MattATobin
.. after a fasion
-
MattATobin
:P
-
MattATobin
they treated it like mozbuild files and not configure.in is all once you get that and know the tree you know where to look.. besides we have cross-referece ;)
-
MattATobin
BTW while I was doing the dishes between 0835 and 0844 I reviewed my options.. and I .. got nothing.. So sure working on seamonkey is better than not working on seamonkey while reviewing options beyond my reach.
-
frg_Away
When it comes to software these days you can open a bottole and crawl in. But I rather enhance SeaMonkey than to do nothing.
-
frg_Away
^bottle
-
nsITobin
but what does this really mean.. actually not a lot if you igore the Social Security timebomb.. i am still autistic.. still Tobin more or less and a massive abusive corrupt group of people are taking power.. its NOT ACTUALLY THAT DIFFERENT save for the timebomb
-
nsITobin
and I have managed so far so WHY can't I now?
-
nsITobin
I think I can.. so let's do that.
-
nsITobin
Sorry its a lot to deal with cause I have worked so hard to break my self out of that nonsense and the moment it seems I have ACTUALLY succeeded Trump somehow slurs and screams his way back into president
-
nsITobin
its quite a whiplash actually
-
nsITobin
anyway seamonkey
-
nsITobin
the issue i have with moz.configure is it is based on some decorator syntax that seems to async resolve values all at the same time but async so you can't just have a small function and access some vars and call it you have to jump through many many hoops
-
nsITobin
if it worked like moz.build i think it would be a better configure system but how they did it.. its net-worse than autohell if you have to dive into the guts of it
-
nsITobin
frg_Away:
-
frg_Away
nsITobin you can't change the world. Just wait for now and sees what goes.
-
nsITobin
I just don't understand this modified decorator syntax in python let alone mozbuild
-
nsITobin
err moz.configure
-
nsITobin
the GOOD NEWS IS that the result of moz.configure is in a sandbox environment where only the final results matter so if worse came to worse i could reverse engineer it to something else based on outputs
-
nsITobin
i was experimenting with that in 2023
-
nsITobin
so for me moz.configure is not some tech-moral blocker for me like it used to be but of course it must serve its purpose ;)
-
nsITobin
as for the non-2.53 extra curricular activities .. i still am trying to get 71 to build.. my cbindgen is too new and none of the patches that fix it seem to apply to 71
-
nsITobin
rust is still terrible.. that's reassuring in a depressing way
-
frg_Away
I am on a good way with esr 68 js but juggle around too many items so nothing done in the last week here. But dynamic imports and bigint work and private fields is on the way in.
-
nsITobin
what about shadowdom and customelements
-
nsITobin
one thing I always wanted to try and get them to pursue was trying to do customelements api just hooked into XBL
-
nsITobin
instead of a seperate system
-
nsITobin
and give XBL more capabilities as well
-
nsITobin
basically consume shadowdom and customelements and map it to an xbl binding and just insert it as XBL for content has always been done
-
frg_Away
If it wern't for the missing needed rebases of regexp and optional chaning wip would be great right now.
-
nsITobin
yeah
-
frg_Away
nsITobin shadow dom and custom elements needs more stylo . No time at the moment .Bindings generation is broken.
-
frg_Away
First need to address js and then I will continue with stylo. IanN and I are the only ones working on this from time to time. Glad that Myckel does python patches.
-
nsITobin
Well I am gonna redouble my efforts to complete everything i have pending for seamonkey before the end of the year. Prioritize primary bugs we been chatting about I am attached to then the stuff on my queue .. Central needs a fresh evaluation of exactly what you want it to do to facilitate the testing of stuff and any experimentation.. so I can plan new patches with .. descreet bits to prioritize those bits important to the project.. 2.53 i just
-
nsITobin
think its gonna be more fe and cleaning and conforming stuff to either SM's standard or the standard of the patches being ported..
-
nsITobin
unless I magic up an updated mozilla build system with all the current SM code conformed to it.. cause it pisses me off one too many times and I just might...
-
nsITobin
frg_Away: here is a question: Would you ever be willing to remerge comm and mozilla so there is just one patchqueue and one massive hg bundle to deal with?
-
nsITobin
not just the comm subdir added but at topsrcdir
-
frg_Away
nsITobin currently I can just take the patches fro backports and apply. It is a real timesaver. Depending on the patch I have very minor fallout. Couldn't do it with a merged repo. One of the reason I prefer straight backports. Would be different if more devs were there but I don't see this. We 4-5 could do it for years and not succeed in the end I fear. The current option is not optimal but...
-
frg_Away
...the best I can think off.
-
nsITobin
deja vu
-
nsITobin
anyway
-
nsITobin
yeah was just a thought to reduce complexity for contributors
-
nsITobin
what really needs done is I just have to try a simple cut and paste and see what conflicts cause that's the real complexity where patches hit comm files that are reletive to repo root for both
-
nsITobin
but even then there is all that scripting to make comm work under mozilla
-
frg_Away
nsITobin the build system is not the real problem. Its now emerging ok and Myckel takes care of more backports. I think when we are at around 102 iwe should stop for the most part. Current central build system is horrible at lest for Windows. Downloads gigabytes and then chokes on locally installed VS2019 for example.. Backend js and css are now. Frontend could use some work but mostly...
-
frg_Away
...independent from backend.
-
nsITobin
102 is basically the stopping point for anything not explicitly bent to Mozilla-as-we-knew-it so yeah..
-
nsITobin
err remove "not"
-
nsITobin
frg_Away: can you build 102?
-
nsITobin
cause if you have SOME artifacts I could experiment with that build system
-
frg_Away
nsITobin didn't try in a long time. Now and then only central. Needs at least oder rust I think.
-
nsITobin
hopefully cbindgen isn't too new for 102 or if it is patches actually apply lol
-
nsITobin
I'd still like to next year look at what cna be done to simply add USEFUL embedding back to Modern Mozilla and then just embed and control it from a xul platform
-
nsITobin
oh wow
-
nsITobin
THAT'S WHY EASY EMBEDDING WAS KILLED
-
nsITobin
because of xulrunner
-
nsITobin
EmbedLite aka XULRunner API replaced the 1.9.x and earlier style of embedding
-
nsITobin
wonder why this didn't come up sooner in my searches
-
WG9s
nsITobin: because the code is sort of spaghetti and not at all following any normal build direction.
-
WG9s
vot those who do not get it spaghetti code is you throw something against the wall and if it sticks you keep it.
-
nsITobin
WG9s: did I tell you because mozilla removed global history the embedcomps history idl when I changed the build order because I redefined the tree took precidence over the places version and fucked up dev for a few weeks.. I guess they left the IDL there for extension compat but xpidl interfaces seem to be newest takes presidence embedcomps became primary and history busted
-
nsITobin
if seamonkey has not removed the globalhistory2 idl i suggest you do it just so this doesn't crop up and confuse the lot of us for months
-
WG9s
I am on the idea that we jst got with 2.53 and ignore anyting that has happened after that
-
nsITobin
that takes a lot of coordination to accomplish
-
WG9s
seems like we are on the waanr to stay with 2.53 but want to backport after crap patches. seems to me that will never work going forward
-
WG9s
either we stay at 2.53 or give up on backproting future patches
-
WG9s
backporting
-
WG9s
the 2 ideas are completely incompatible
-
nsITobin
if you were closer to 56 i'd agree with that wholeheartedly but frg has said that an ESR68 equiv should be reached and we are close to it.. from there maybe something else maybe more backports but after 68 if we come up against the XBL removal its gonna be difficult for the project
-
nsITobin
either in keeping it or converting to XUL WebComponents
-
nsITobin
I can't for the life of me understand why there are literally no resources or artifacts save for broken website for already converted and removed bindings
-
nsITobin
and why no one at mozilla for six fuckin months would help me learn dick about em
-
tomman
I heard Mozilla was too busy this week imploding as usual
-
WG9s
so sad that mozilla pwople when you ask have zero interest in helping you learn.
-
nsITobin
i put emillio through the ringer for it so don't worry.. one of my last vengeful acts
-
nsITobin
that snuck into 2024
-
frg_Away
Proctically everything but DOMi in 2.53 goes upstream. Downstram too or we could forget 2.53.
-
nsITobin
my earliest memories of being in #seamonkey are the comm split and ratty helping me learn.
-
WG9s
nsITobin: and Emilio is one of those who is actually trying to help.
-
WG9s
I thnk he is as frustrated as the rest of us
-
nsITobin
well maybe i owe him and appology and if i ever climb and scratch my way to being a kind of person someone like him would accept an appology for I will attempt to make it.
-
nsITobin
from*
-
WG9s
he gets a bad rap because the diactricts in his name make it hard to apply his patches.
-
nsITobin
and maybe Standard8 shouldn't have shoved me into an off-topic channel with no one there and assigned emilio to watch over me while still not really attempting to help.. he was kinda agast at the UXP turned SeaMonkey nsStyle patches
-
nsITobin
i showed it to him cause he wrote the stuff in stylo i wanted his opinion on it and I had hoped to understand more of rust
-
nsITobin
or at least the rust system
-
nsITobin
to deal
-
nsITobin
cause even if i was to be contributing to Firefox i'd still have to learn that..
-
nsITobin
I don't want to learn rust I want to learn C
-
nsITobin
with C i can do anything
-
nsITobin
but i was at that time willing to start learning some stuff about rust to help like I did with python
-
WG9s
well standard8 is great for getting old code to work emilo is what is going on now on the mozilla front i have similar issues
-
WG9s
but i try to dea with emilio but with a trying to keep it working as before.
-
therube
-
nsITobin
I am gonna be pissed of Mozilla goes MAGA
-
nsITobin
because in any universe if I ain't running that MAGAzilla it will be a fucking disaster of epic proportions
-
WG9s
seems to have people who want it like it worked like years before and others who want it to work like emilio wants. i think perhaps needs a compromise view.
-
nsITobin
but its likely just becoming google adcompany
-
nsITobin
so i will settle down about it
-
nsITobin
ut oh
-
nsITobin
WG9s: Hi I am tobin from 2014.. this is gonna be fucked.. now back to present me.
-
WG9s
not everyone has al the bad ideas nor does anyone have all the good ideas. that is why we should all work together.
-
nsITobin
we SHOULD
-
nsITobin
cause a part of what is driving me remains this mozilla fractured division
-
nsITobin
its what started all this for me
-
WG9s
-
nsITobin
As long as each one of us especially me remembers not everything labled "Unified" means it is good
-
nsITobin
well to me SeaMonkey and whatever i can manage to ACTUALLY GET OUT THE DOOR at BinOC are the most important things right now along with each and every one of you and those few that remain on my irc server
-
nsITobin
... I was seriously supposed to be FAR MORE POWERFUL than this by now.. its not realistic but I believed it and it is so hard to come to terms with that
-
nsITobin
WG9s: you might know this.. how large is the releases archive?
-
nsITobin
of all the releases SM still has and hosts
-
WG9s
no idea
-
WG9s
nsITobin: nos i am back on one of my sons fav really stuip jokes. what do you call a deer with no deer?
-
WG9s
nsITobin: nos i am back on one of my sons fav really stuip jokes. what do you call a deer with no eyes?
-
nsITobin
no clue
-
WG9s
ok then what do you call a deer with not eyes and no legs?
-
WG9s
and the really lame answer is "Still no idea"
-
nsITobin
no eyes and no legs.. i doubt it is a pun
-
nsITobin
well its a pun but not an obvious one
-
nsITobin
i still have no idea.. so i guess I am lame but so was this MP3 encoder i used once
-
nsITobin
WG9s: I guess I am just not as creative as I normally am today not in abstract concepts
-
WG9s
no eye dear
-
WG9s
no eye deer
-
WG9s
i knw i could get it
-
WG9s
so a deer with no eyes is no deer i deer but a deer with no eyes and no leggs is a still no i deer.
-
WG9s
the lack of legs kept the deer still (as in non mobile)
-
nsITobin
well my terrible LAME pun should explain it.. puns operate on a more abstract similarity and word play rather than a direct compare/contrast. Verbally I would have got it even drained as I kinda am
-
nsITobin
I am gonna go relax.. I'll save the world tomorrow.
-
nsITobin
