Activities last week:
Fixed bustage, release activities for TB 57, looked and fixed regressions, various reviews, misc. bug fixes, sheriffing. List below. Notable:
- A Saturday(!) with nine bustages. 1) Port bug 1373258 - 2) Port bug 1413675 - 3)4) ">" crashes (bug 1414513, bug 1414544) - 5) bug 1414521 (XBL causing test failures) - 6) Mozmill failures (bug 1414533) caused by the - 7) prefs issue (bug 1414398) - 8) bug 1414507 (Win32 busted) and after midnight 9) bug 1414579. A day in the life of a sheriff/developer :-(:'( - I fixed 4, Aceman 1, Richard 2, FRG 1, one still open.

Obstacles and impediments: Slow reviews as noted below (one, two and three month delay), aka, the Mailnews Crisis. Little support by peers (unless mentioned above).
Lack of response from M-C in some M-C bustages (NSPR)

General remarks: C-C tree status:  Deteriorating (details below), no manpower to investigate various intermittent test failures.

Jörg.


Tree status classification: Green, Normal (some failures), Deteriorating (many failures, opt builds still green, some switched-off tests), Critical (opt builds with failures), Blocked (less than two platforms), Doomed.
