13:49:25 <clokep_work> That's not the error we were seeing, right?
13:52:29 <flo-retina> that's windows only errors
13:52:37 <flo-retina> I haven't tried to build Ib on Windows in a long while :-/
13:53:07 <clokep_work> Oh der.
13:53:11 <clokep_work> Sorry I thought itw ason Mac.

14:49:25 <qheaden> Hello all.
15:57:01 --> gerv has joined #instantbird
15:57:13 <gerv> Hello, Instantbird people.
15:57:27 <gerv> Is it really true that www.instantbird.org is still serving up the 32-bit version to all Linux users,
15:57:37 <gerv> meaning that a massive percentage of Linux users get a download which simply doesn't work?
15:57:39 <gerv> :-|

16:01:12 * ChanServ sets mode +qo flo-retina flo-retina 
16:07:50 <clokep_work> gerv: Probably. We haven't released in a really long time. I usually recommend people use the nightlies (which is *only* 64-bit :-D).
16:08:05 <clokep_work> http://ftp.instantbird.com/instantbird/nightly/latest-trunk/instantbird-1.6a1pre.en-US.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2
16:08:21 <gerv> That's really not good, though, to have 50% of people downloading your product getting something which doesn't work.
16:18:02 <flo-retina> gerv: I don't think linux users are a large proportion of people downloading from the site.
16:18:23 <gerv> Where else would they get IB?
16:18:28 <flo-retina> especially as it's usually easier on linux to just use a package manager, and get software that has been downloaded.
16:18:52 <flo-retina> gerv: there's unfortunately no good easy way :(.
16:18:55 <gerv> But IB is not packaged in the Ubuntu repos, is it?
16:19:02 <flo-retina> I was just pointing out that it's not "50% of people"
16:19:06 <flo-retina> right :(
16:22:23 <gerv> Can't you at least put a note pointing to the 64-bit nightlies?
16:28:44 <flo-retina> I would rather put effort into pushing a new release out the door
16:29:02 <flo-retina> and it'll likely be 64bit only for Linux, because building 32bit became more difficult lately
16:58:26 <-- gerard-majax has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
17:01:11 <gerv> flo-retina: Adding a sentence to a website is (or surely should be) a couple of orders of magnitude easier than shipping a new stable release...
17:01:48 <flo-retina> should be, yes.
17:02:23 <flo-retina> but we've historically updated the website only when releasing, because of l10n that needs to happen, and is easier to get done for both the site changes and the release at about the same time
17:02:27 <flo-retina> (not a good reason; I know)
17:03:19 --> bgmCoder has joined #instantbird
17:10:33 <flo-retina> apparently whatcanIdoformozilla still points to https://wiki.instantbird.org/Main_Page
17:10:43 <flo-retina> is there a page on wiki.mo that we can use instead?
17:11:38 <flo-retina> https://www.whatcanidoformozilla.org/#!/progornoprog/proglang/js/instantbird
17:12:24 <clokep_work> flo-retina: Not that I know of.
17:12:27 <clokep_work> https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Instantbird exists?
17:24:36 <flo-retina> ah, yes that's what we need :)
17:24:56 <flo-retina> should we get whatcanIdoformozilla to point there then?

18:37:32 <flo-retina> that's changed with issues/PRs on github, right?
18:37:44 <clokep_work> I have no idea where that's hosted.
18:37:50 <clokep_work> But probably?

20:51:59 <matrixisreal> clokep_work: nhnt11 :  So after the discussion in this bug 1105660, what is the desired funtcionality of /mode command?
20:52:01 <instantbot> Bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1105660 nor, --, ---, nobody, NEW, /mode command fails in some cases
20:56:20 <clokep_work> matrixisreal: I cannot summarize. I have no idea what wI wrote in 2015.
20:57:21 <matrixisreal> clokep_work: I tried reading it, but it was not clear, and I dont see any conclusion in it
20:58:46 <clokep_work> matrixisreal: So honestly I wonder if we added the /umode command?
20:58:50 <clokep_work> Instead of doing that.
20:58:54 <clokep_work> But I don't know for sure.
20:59:43 <matrixisreal> clokep_work: I dont get the point :/
21:01:30 <clokep_work> https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1105660#c5 seems OK to me?
21:01:32 <instantbot> Bug 1105660 nor, --, ---, nobody, NEW, /mode command fails in some cases
21:09:04 <matrixisreal> clokep_work: thanks :) .
21:09:04 <matrixisreal> And if possible give just comment on the patch on 1225468 if its okay to do that in way or not?
21:09:20 <matrixisreal> Had to change dome idl files, not sure if its required .
21:12:08 <clokep_work> matrixisreal: Is it required, yes.
21:12:13 <clokep_work> I haven't gotten to it yet, sorry.
21:12:56 <matrixisreal> clokep_work: If yes, think I got what u said ;)
21:30:26 <clokep_work> OK! :)
