Hotfix policy?

[Piotr Zalewa <pz...@mozilla.com>]

Hi,

I'd like to know if we've got any hotfix policy. There was a bug in 
plugman which was stopping FirefoxOS devs from using Cordova for weeks.

What should we do if such a critical bug is shipped to public?

Thanks

I don't believe we have any docs around writing tests. For now, the best
thing to do is checkout the spec directories for plugman + cli and mimic
tests other platforms have.

@ Michal Mocny
The fix was ready pretty soon after the bug was released/noticed. It 
just waited few weeks until 3.4.1-xxx was shipped.
I haven't seen this right on, as I updated to new Cordova when it was 
still 3.4.0-0.1.0, the bug was introdcued after that.

@ Steven Gill
Is there any doc about writing needed tests?
That'd be my next important thing to do on this project.

The issue was fixed in the latest release. It was the one before that it
was broken.

I think generally we can get tooling releases out fairly quickly. We have
been slowed down as we figure out our new process though. I expect this to
speed up.

Tests for FFOS would also go a long way!

It was in for weeks, unnoticed?  I think we should fix that problem going
forward.

Regarding releases, we have weekly tooling releases these days, so if we
patch the issue today it will be released fairly soon.  Unfortunately we
*just* released plugman, so it will take the full week.  (though nothing
stops us from bumping up the release schedule, as long as someone is
willing to build and test the artifacts).
