387198 - Update Gecko tree schedule on p.m.o

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Websites :: planet.mozilla.org, defect)

Description

[Simon Paquet [:sipaq]]

The Gecko tree schedule currently shows this:

Gecko 1.9 alpha 5 Freeze
    now
Gecko 1.9 alpha 5
    now
Gecko 1.9 alpha 6 Freeze
    now
Gecko 1.9 alpha 6
    now

Both 1.9a5 and 1.9a6 have been released. It would be good, if the Gecko schedule could be updated to show the relevant dates for the b1 and b2 releases.

a7 has also been released. Could I please get a reaction (mark this as WONTFIX if it doesn't bother you, remove the tree schedule or fix the bug)?

Comment 2

[Asa Dotzler [:asa]]

Sorry, we had a brief discussion in email and I proposed deleting the tree information from planet. There are much better places to find that information where it will be more up to date and more relevant.

I added M8/M9 as a stopgap for now.  Might be best to replace the box with a link to the Developer Google Calendar.

Don't they have a widget (yea, I hate widgets too).  Perhaps it would be best to just nest that in there.

Robert, could it be that the M8/M9 dates that you added are off by a month or so? Or is the schedule on http://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox3/Schedule (that is linked from the planet page) outdated?

They do, see http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?answer=41207 or the tinderbox page http://tinderbox.mozilla.org/showbuilds.cgi?tree=Firefox, which shows the Sheriff Schedule.
But the dev calendar contains all the meetings as well, so we might have to split those into a freeze/release calendar and a meeting calendar.

Mozilla Developer's Calendar in an iframe

asa,dria,preed: any objections to replacing it with dev calendar iframe (we can adjust the height a little).

Comment 8

[Asa Dotzler [:asa]]

sounds fine to me. just as long as it's not something we have to manually update.

Comment 9

[Robert Accettura [:raccettura]]

Only the calendar gods.  But that's not "we".

Comment 10

I gave that a quick run, but reverted... it's pretty bad looking in the box.  Maybe we try without a box (though it's a diff color).  Need to think about best way to do this.

Until you decide how to handle it in a better way, could you please fix the dates on the planet page? As I already tried to tell you in comment 4 the planet page shows rubbish currently:

    Gecko M8 Freeze
    44 days, 10 hours, 38 minutes
    Fri 5 Oct 08:08:00 CEST 2007

Comparing to the Moz Developer Calendar at

http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=pdighgf028nmbjbrno8oed8vsg%40group.calendar.google.com&dates=20070901%2F20071001

I think the correct entries would be
   calcDiff(Date.UTC(2007, 8, 5, 18, 59))
   calcDiff(Date.UTC(2007, 9, 17, 18, 59))
(note that months start at 0 and UTC is PDT-7).

[I guess that toLocaleString() is broken in some way because then it shows    Wed 5 Sep 20:20:00 CEST 2007
instead of
   Wed 5 Sep 20:59:00 CEST 2007
but that's another matter.]
