MoMo All-Hands: Day 1

A Delicious Flight

After waking up, cleaning up, and eating, I was more or less ready to go.  Blake was stopping by around 11:30AM with the airport taxi, and I had about an hour to myself.  I decided that now would be a wonderful opportunity to purchase some flying snacks from the nearby convenience store.

Moments later, I was browsing the shelves.  I grabbed some granola bars, and some raisins.  On my way out, I saw some flatbread, and was immediately reminded of the time that my friend Doug offered me some flatbread with roasted red pepper hummus on it.  And I remembered that it was delicious.  Immediately, I was hit by a craving, grabbed the flatbread, and went to go find the hummus.

Eventually, I zeroed in on the hummus section.  Unfortunately, the tub of roasted red pepper hummus that I found was about the right size for a whole family, and I thought that’d be a bit of a waste (since I wasn’t sure I’d be able to refridgerate it upon landing).  So I dug around in the shelves until I found a smaller tub, grabbed it, paid, and left.

Now, I know what you’re thinking:  “Mike – this minutia is really of no interest to me.  Am I really going to have to hear about the food you bought and ate?  Is this how these posts are going to go?”.  Just rest assured, I’m bringing this up for a reason.  The hummus comes into play later.

Blake arrived, I hopped into the car, and we were off.  We compared snacks:  Blake was packing some awesome-looking homemade banana bread with chocolate chips.

It was going to be a delicious flight.

A Newbie Goes Through Security

It’d been a little while since I’d been through airport security, and I had forgotten some of the moves.  I did my best to follow Blake’s example – I pulled out my laptop to be screened independently.  I tossed down my jacket.  I lined it all up all neat and tidy for the little luggage car-wash to scan it.

Soon, it was my turn to walk through the metal detector.  In front of me, Blake had sailed through and was already getting his stuff off of the conveyer belt.

I walked through the gate.  BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP.

“Sir, do you have anything in your pockets?”

Oh yeah.  I had everything in my pockets.  Wallet, keys, cell-phone, belt, watch, I’d forgotten all of it.  So there I am, scrambling to void my pockets of their contents, and tossing them into a little bowl to be scanned.

Security was not impressed.

After an extremely thorough wand-scanning, I was eventually let through.  I gathered my stuff up, and hurried over to Blake.

The Storage Seat

We reached our terminal without incident.  We had an hour to kill before boarding, and chatted about the upcoming meeting, science fiction, Ricky Gervais, video games.  Boarding was a piece of cake.

Although we had booked our tickets seperately, somehow, our seats were in the same row.  There was a lone seat in between us.  The plane filled up…and filled up…and the seat remained empty.  Suddenly it dawned on me:  Blake and I were probably about to get a free storage seat between us.  Awesome-sauce.

I became so excited about the middle seat that I was starting to sweat everytime someone else came onto the plane.  One or two stragglers would saunter on, and I was sure the jig was up.  But somehow, someway, it didn’t happen.  The storage seat was saved.  It immediately became home to a host of overflow items.

Take-off

It was at this point that the captain came on the horn to tell us that there was a problem.  During the safety check, he found out his oxygen mask wasn’t working.  Maintenance would be sending a part over, and it’d take somewhere around 30 minutes to get it all sorted.

30 minutes later, we were underway, and hurtling down the tarmac.  Eventually, the seatbelt sign was turned off.  I reached for my book.  It was going to be a long flight (approx 6 hours).

That’s when the flight attendant announced that the water wasn’t running in the front bathroom.  So we were down to one bathroom.  The girl across the aisle from me groaned audibly.

Moments later, we found out that our in-flight movies were not working.  The same girl groaned even louder, whipped out her cellphone, and began texting furiously.  I was reminded of this Louis C.K. bit on Conan…

It was an uneventful flight.  Blake and I chatted a bit, and then I read, and he listened to music.  There was a Mythbusters marathon on the on-board television, so that was entertaining.  I learned today that if a diver in one of those old-school scuba suits is down 300 feet, and suddenly has his air supply cut off…the waterpressure is strong enough to compress all of his organs into his helmet like a human meatball.  Gross. Thanks Mythbusters.

Landing, and the Hummus Incident

Landing was no biggie.  The captain came on the horn again to tell us that they had to cut power the plane in order to get the bridge attached to us.  As the lights went out, I could see the light of a cellphone illuminate the face of the girl across the aisle.  Texting commenced at a furious pace.  I don’t think she was very happy with the flight.

Next, Blake and I meandered our way to U.S. security and customs.  Along the way, we helped a mother and daughter find their New Zealand flight.  While in the line-up, I realized that I was still carrying a bottle of water that I’d purchased in the Toronto airport.  And it was still more or less full.

To avoid embarrassment, I chugged it back.  The whole half-litre.  Dazed from over-hydration, I tossed all of my gear, pockets and all, upon the security conveyor belt like a boss.  I was determined to do this like a pro, and gave Blake the “I know what I’m doing this time” eyebrows.

Shoeless, beltless, pockets emptied, I passed through the metal detector like a marathon runner at the end of a race.  Not a sound from the machine.  It was glorious.

“Step over this way, sir”.

I was suddenly redirected to security, and told to empty my backpack.

As the security guard rummaged, my hummus fell out, and wobbled onto the table.

Suddenly, all eyes went to the hummus.

“Sir, what is this?”

“It’s hummus.”

“No, it’s not.”  I looked closer.  Damn it, I’d been duped by similar packaging.  It was full-blown dip, not hummus.  So much for healthy snacking.

“Oh, sorry, it’s dip.  Not hummus.  Dip.”

Pause.

“Sir, I’m going to have to ask you to stay right here.”

I had started to sweat a little.  Meanwhile, Blake was getting his shoes on, and was eyeing me curiously.

“It’s the hummus,” I said.  He mouthed “Oh”.

3 or 4 minutes later, I was shuttled over to an official looking desk, where an official looking guard was presiding over my very fraudulant hummus.

“I thought it was hummus.  You can keep the dip.  I don’t want to the dip.  You can have the dip.”  I kept saying.  I was worried that they thought I’d lied to them while calling it hummus.  Or was there some sort of dip embargo?  What the hell was going on?

“I don’t want the dip,” the tired looking employee said to me.  He had a thousand-yard stare going on.  This guy was not a fan of his job – at least not today.

“Your boarding pass says that you came in from Toronto.  They should have stopped it at security over there”.  He jabbed a finger at the dip.  “This is over 50 millilitres of liquid.  They shouldn’t have let it through.”

I made a weak attempt at humor by mentioning that the dip wasn’t exactly a liquid, and was more like handcream.  He didn’t seem amused.  I cut the crap and shut my mouth.

He then spent 5 minutes collecting all of my personal identification, and taking photos of me with the security camera.  He assured me that I wasn’t in trouble, and that, in fact, Toronto airport security was in trouble.  I remarked that I hoped nobody was going to lose their job over this.  He grunted, handed me my boarding pass, and wished me a good day.

Dip-less, I walked back to Blake, gathered up all of my stuff, and we started walking towards our departure gate.

A Chance Encounter

We had stopped by a Tim Hortons to grab some food, when Blake nudged me.

“Come this way,” he said.  I followed him back to the Tim Hortons line-up

“Mike Conley, meet David Ascher.  David Ascher, meet Mike Conley.”

So it turned out that David Ascher, CEO of Mozilla Messaging, and my new boss, was taking the same flight with his wife.  We said hello, and chatted a bit, and then headed towards our gate.

Huh.  What were the chances?

We boarded without incident.  Blake and I weren’t sitting together on this flight – I was sitting next to some charming older ladies who were slamming back the in-flight alcohol like it was going out of style.

In Hawaii

It was a hard leg of the flight.  After approximately forever, we landed.  This was at about 10PM Hawaii time, or 3AM Toronto time.  At this point, I’d been awake for about 19 hours.  I was exhausted, groggy, and probably dehydrated.

A section of the airport terminal had no windows.  It was warm out, but not uncomfortably so.  It was a bit humid.  I saw palm trees in the shadows.

Eventually, David, his wife, Blake and myself were able to hail a cab.  We whisked through the Hawaiian night.  I remember thinking that the outside part Hawaii we were driving through seemed like an interesting mix of industrial and tourist.  Kind of like if Niagara Falls and Hamilton were smashed together.

Finally, we pulled up to our hotel.  After checking in, my body had pretty much given up.

It’s funny how 19 hours of just sitting still in a chair will exhaust you.

Before reaching the elevators, we ran into a few more members of the team who’d arrived before us.  There were quick introductions (too quick – I’d have to ask for names again later on), and then we were up to our rooms.

Inside my room, I dumped by bag, plugged in my laptop, and sent a few e-mails to let people know I had arrived safely.  I prepared for bed.

As I rummaged through my luggage, something was bugging me…

“Hm…let’s see…shorts, pants, underwear, shirts…”

My eyes went wide.

No socks.

I hadn’t brought socks.

MoMo All-Hands. In Hawaii.

It’s been a little while since I posted.  Well, I’ve been busy.

In Hawaii.

That’s right.  Hawaii.  Mozilla Messaging just sent the entire team to Hawaii for an all-hands meeting.  And, believe it or not, we got a hell of a lot done.  It’s amazing how productive people can be in shorts, Hawaiian shirts, and sandals!  No joke!

It was also an opportunity for me to meet my new teammates.  It’s a fantastic group, and a very warm welcome.  They’re smart, committed, quirky, and hilarious.  I think I’m really going to enjoy working with this team.

Anyhow, I had a great time, and learned a lot.

And I took notes.

Here’s part 1…

This is my last “goodbye school” post, I swear.

So a few days ago, my official grades for my M. Sc. rolled in.  That same day, I went to the Bahen Centre, turned in my desk keys, got my keycard authorization revoked, and scheduled my computer for erasure.

It felt like some pretty big steps.  There was a palpable sense of finality.  I was out.  It was over.

The University has played a big role in my development, and despite all of my moaning and complaining over the years, I’m glad I went, and I’d do it again.

But not right now.

Graduate school almost didn’t happen for me, and I have two very important people to thank for making that happen:  Karen Reid and Greg Wilson.

I still fondly remember when you cornered me during that codesprint in 2009, and convinced me to try graduate school.  I don’t regret it.  It was the right decision.  So thank you both so much for convincing me, and giving me the chance, and thank you Greg for supervising, and guiding me through.

I learned lots.  I had fun.  🙂

Shakespeare wrote that brevity is the soul of wit.  Well, I

Day 3: Stream of consciousness

So, I just started my day off with a big bowl of Apple Cinnamon Cheerios and some fresh orange juice, c/o Mozilla Messaging.  Thanks, team.  😀

Another great thing about Mozilla is that, since its spread out around the world, somebody is awake and working pretty much 24 hours a day.  That means if I write a bunch of code and go to bed, there’s a chance that when I wake up the next morning, the code review is done and I have some feedback on my next steps.

And that’s more or less what’s happened at the start of today.  That add-ons manager grouping feature I was working on for Firefox got looked at in the night, and I got some feedback on some changes I can make.  Awesome.

So here’s the scoop:

First off, a conversation got started regarding where add-ons with pending installs or uninstalls go.  The answer:  pending installs should go into the group they’ll be in once the install is complete, and pending uninstalls should stay in the group that they were in when the install happened (in order to prevent the add-on from jumping around in the list).  That’s good – that makes my job easier, I think.

With regards to implementation, I don’t think my nifty Shwarzian Transform is gonna fly:

I don’t think that this is the right approach to take here. Instead the more straightforward way is to just make sortElements accept an array for aSortBy (and update all callers to pass one) of fields to sort by in order of preference. If the elements match by the first field then move onto the second and so on. For the non-search list views use a specially named field “uiState” and then use your function as the comparison function for that field.

(from one of my reviewers)

So this approach involves me changing a bit more code.  See, my original approach was to try to change as little as possible.  I guess that’s just me being the “new guy”, and trying not to rock the boat.  But clearly, they want me to go deeper.  I’m happy to oblige!

But there’s a bit more complication.  According to the Bugzilla page, this bug I’m working on depends on this other bug, where somebody else is also tinkering with the sorting functions.  That means I have to be uuber careful, and make sure to base my work off of their patches.

In particular, it looks like this patch is going to be altering the sorting tests, and removing the ability for Firefox users to sort add-ons by anything besides the add-on name.

So what I’m going to do is download and apply this patch, and then start basing my work off of it.  Each time the patch is updated in Bug 623207, I’ll just re-base my work off of it.  Nice.

Ok, so first of all, I wipe out my old work using hg strip (using Blake’s handy script to find the HEAD revision number of that branch).  Next, I grab the patch for 623207, and use patch to apply it.  Then, I use pnew to create a new pbranch with that change, and then create another pbranch on top of that.  That second pbranch is where I’ll do my work.  If/when the patch to 623207 gets updated, I’ll update the first pbranch, and then merge it into the second.  Awesome-sauce.

Argh.  It seems I have to recompile in order to get that 623207 patch to work.  And not an incremental compile either, since “make” doesn’t seem to do much in toolkit/mozapps/extensions.  *sigh*…compiling

Just stopped by UofT to drop off my old keys, and get my old computer wiped.  Stopped by and talked to Karen, and helped two new MarkUs students.  Kind of bitter sweet moment.  Goodbye school.  It was a long battle.  Well played.

I’ve finished a draft of my add-on grouper/stratifier.  Now I’m going to check out these tests.  Without my change, the tests in browser_sorting.js all pass.  With my patch, 3 fail.  Ok, so I think I’ve found the right tests.  Lets see whats up…

Ok, it looks like the tests were trying to call my new sorter, and didn’t know that it had to pass an Array instead of a string.  Fixed that, and all tests are passing.  Sweet.

Now let me try all of the extension tests…ok, without my patch, 10 fail.  With my patch… OH SHIT.  194 failures.  That’s a big deal.

Ok, I think I’ve fixed those tests.  But now when I run the extension tests, one of the tests seems to take forever…what’s the deal?  Turns out, this test does this periodically, even without my patch.  Hrm. So I guess I don’t have to worry about it.

After a few runs, I’ve got the same number of passing tests as there were before my patch:  only 10 fail.  Nice.

So now I have to try to write some new tests.

Suite!  Tests written.

It takes me a while to run the Firefox Mochitests on my machine.  If I were to do them all, it’d probably take at least an hour.  Running the add-ons manager tests takes about 5 minutes.  And in either case, I can’t use my machine, because Mochitest needs me to keep focus on Firefox while its running the tests.  Basically, this means if I want to run the tests, I give up my machine, and go snack on something in the kitchen.  That was cool at first, but after a while, giving up my machine for 5 minutes seemed pretty lame.

So, luckily, there’s a machine in the office called TheFlash, and, as its name suggests, it’s SUPER fast.  Like, lightning speed.  Compiling Thunderbird from scratch?  7 minutes flat.  Jeebus.  Anyhow, Blake got me an account on TheFlash, and I’ve pushed my changes to a Firefox instance over there.  Firefox is compiling, and then I’ll try out my tests over there.  Awesome.

Tests pass!  Lovely.  And Blake just took a look at my code and showed me a neat trick:

So I’ve got an Array of uiState’s, like so:

const UISTATE_ORDER = ["enabled", "incompatible", "disabled", "blocked"]

And I wanted to sort a collection of these values in order that they appear in that Array. So something like:

["disabled", "disabled", "blocked", "incompatible", "disabled", "enabled", "enabled", "blocked", "disabled"]

# Would become

["enabled", "enabled", "incompatible", "disabled", "disabled", "disabled", "disabled", "blocked", "blocked"]

(this sort of thing is useful if each of those original entries is associated with something like, I don’t know, a Firefox add-on…)

In Javascript, we use a sort command, and we pass a function to do comparisons.  Normally, I’d do something like:

function uiStateCompare(a, b) {
 if(UISTATE_ORDER.indexOf(a) < UISTATE_ORDER.indexOf(b))
   return -1;
 if(UISTATE_ORDER.indexOf(a) > UISTATE_ORDER.indexOf(b))
   return 1;
 return 0;
}

But there’s a more concise way to say this:

function uiStateCompare(a, b) {
  return (UISTATE_ORDER.indexOf(a) - UISTATE_ORDER.indexOf(b));
}

Which makes total sense.  If UISTATE_ORDER.indexOf(a) < UISTATE_ORDER.indexOf(b), then of course the difference is less than 1.  Anyhow, I thought this was a pretty neat trick.  Thanks Blake.

Alright, patch is scrubbed and ready for posting on Bugzilla….here goes!

Ok, patch posted.  Home time.

Day 2 at Mozilla Messaging: pbranch, testing, teleconferencing, intranet, and more testing

Ok, today was my second day at Mozilla Messaging.  Another good day.  Here are some highlights:

Today, I started off my day by wanting to learn a few things:

  1. How to use pbranch to locally commit my Firefox patch from yesterday
  2. How to write tests for my patch using Mochitest

I started with the first one.

So, for the most part, Mozilla uses Mercurial as its distributed version control system.  I’ve been using Git (arguably Mercurial’s main competitor) since last summer with both MarkUs and Review Board.  Mercurial is something quite different.  Quite different indeed.

pbranch is a tool that lets me have a patch queue.  Basically, organization, and re-organization of any changes I make to the Mozilla code-base is a lot easier using something like pbranch.

So I spent a few minutes going through the pbranch tutorial.  Eventually, I think I got the hang of it – basically, for my extension changes-sets, I create a new branch using hg pnew, and commit to that branch.  I’ll keep committing to that, and when I’m all done, I’ll dump my patch to a Bugzilla attachment.  After I pass code review, someone will merge my patch.  Then I’ll remove my local branch and pull in my changes.  Sweet!

Ok, so at this point, I think I got the workflow.  Next, I needed to figure out how to write a Mochitest.  Thankfully, there’s this tutorial.

Looking through the documentation, I was reminded of Selenium a little bit.  I think it’s sort of the same idea.

So how do I write a test for my changes?  Unfortunately, the documentation on how to write a Mochitest is a little thin.  So I started hunting around, looking for examples to extrapolate from.

At some point, I found myself staring at this code.  Wow!  A full-blown API for manipulating the add-ons manager!  Great!  But it turns out that this is for Mozmill tests, and not Mochitests.  But a quick search through MXR showed that nobody was using that add-on manager API.  Argh.

Was I barking up the wrong tree here?  Where the hell were the add-on manager tests?

I quickly swallowed my pride, and decided to talk to an expert.  I used Mercurial’s log function to determine who had changed extensions.js the most.  The name Dave Townsend came up.  According to his site, he’s “Mossop” on IRC, but he wasn’t online.  The log function also mentioned the name Blair McBride.  On IRC, he’s “Unfocused”.  He was online, but unavailable.

Argh.

It was at this point that Blake told me that the Mozilla Messaging weekly meeting was going to take place.  Apparently this happens every Tuesday at 9:30AM PST.  So we marched over to a conference room, hooked up this super-advanced phone (the phone had a boot-up screen, and then showed the Mozilla logo…whoa!).  A little while later, the meeting began.  The meeting was super fast, and super efficient – especially considering the teams are spread out across the globe.  One person led the meeting, and called the different teams up to give their weekly status.  I also got to introduce myself to the team.  I rambled off something about Thunderbird+Unity and code review, and then stumbled back to my chair.  Cool times.  Anyhow, teleconferencing is going to take some getting used to.

So, with the meeting over, and still no word from Unfocused, I decided to clean up my code a bit, and then posted my patch up on Bugzilla.  I asked Dave Townsend for a code review, and said that if testing needs to happen, hopefully he’d let me know and advise me.

It didn’t take long for a response to come back.  Apparently, there are indeed tests for the add-ons manager, and they’re right here in front of my face.  Crap, I should have known.  :/

So I dove into those tests…wow, there were a lot of them.  And I didn’t have a clue as to how to run any of them.

Following the Mochitest instructions, I eventually tried this:

TEST_PATH=toolkit/mozapps/extensions/test/ make -C $OBJDIR mochitest-plain

(where the TEST_PATH is set to the folder of tests I want to run, and $OBJDIR is an environment variable that points to the objdir compilation folder for Firefox.)

But this only ran a single test out of the bunch, and there were hundreds in there.  So what was the deal?

It turned out that the tests I wanted to run were with higher privileges than your average Mochitest test.  A basic Mochitest test is run using mochitest-plain.  Apparently, I needed to use mochitest-browser-chrome.  Took me a good half-hour to figure that one out.  :/

Anyhow, BAM, I had it – the tests were running.  The bad news:  I had a bunch of failing tests.  The good news:  the same tests failed without any of my changes.  So…great…I guess.

It was at this point in the day that I was given access to the Mozilla Messaging Intranet (the internal wiki).  There was plenty to read there, including something along the lines of “So you’re a new Mozilla Messaging hire”…I gave that a read.  Very interesting.

After that, I subscribed to a few internal mailing lists, and submitted my Mozilla-centric blog feed to be added to Planet Mozilla and Planet Mozilla Messaging.  Woop!

Finally, I got back to testing.  After digging through those add-ons manager tests, I finally found this:  PAYDIRT.

Sweet!  Tons of stuff for free in there:  MockProvider, createAddons… writing tests in there looked like it’d be cake.

But then it was home time.  More tomorrow.

Today, I want to learn a few things:

  1. How to use pbranch to locally commit my Firefox patch from last night
  2. How to write tests for my patch using Mochitest

Lets start with 1:

So Mozilla uses Mercurial as its distributed version control system.  I’ve been using Git since last summer with both MarkUs and Review Board.  Mercurial is something quite different.

Started going through pbranch tutorial.

So for my extension changes, here’s what I’m going to do.  I create a new branch using pnew, and commit to that.  I’ll keep committing to that.  When I’m all done, dump my patch to a Bugzilla attachment.  Someone will merge my patch.  Then I’ll remove my local branch and pull in my changes.  Sweet!

Ok, so I’ve got the workflow (I think).  Next, I need to figure out how to write a Mochitest.  Thankfully, there’s this:  https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Mochitest

I’m reminded of Selenium a little bit.  I think it’s sort of the same idea.

So how do I write a test for my changes?  Unfortunately, the documentation on how to write a Mochitest is a little thin.  So I guess I’ll be looking at examples, and extrapolating from there.  Let’s see if I can find a similar test written elsewhere.

This is promising:  http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/testing/mozmill/tests/shared-modules/testAddonsAPI.js

Hm…but this is for Mozmill, and not Mochitest.

Yep, Mozilla uses a lot of different testing frameworks.  It’s a little confusing.  Mozmill is also like Selenium

So who is using testAddonsAPI.js?  Argh.  It looks like nobody.

I’m having a hard time finding tests for any of the stuff in extensions.js.  So I guess it’s time to talk to the expert.  I use hg log to see who the most frequent committer is to extensions.js.  The name Dave Townsend comes up.  http://www.oxymoronical.com/ .  He’s Mossop on IRC, and not online.  So who else is listed in hg log?  Blair McBride.

Had my first Mozilla Messaging weekly meeting.  It’s on a phone.  Interesting how its organized…really not like any phone conversation I’ve been a part of.  People mute themselves…unmute when its time to talk.  Awkward pauses are rampant…pretty cool though.  Coordinating around the world.  Nice!

Ok, back to Blair McBride…after a little hunting around, it turns out his IRC nickname is Unfocused.  I’ve found him in a few of the Mozilla IRC channels, and am waiting to hear back from him.

No word.  So, after some scrubbing, I posted my patch up on Bugzilla, and asked Dave Townsend for a review.  If testing needs to happen, hopefully he’ll let me know and advise me.

Whoop, just got a message.  The tests are here:  http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/mozapps/extensions/test/.  Crap, I should have known.  :/

Ok, lets examine those tests… hold up.  How do I run these?  Trying to run that directory with Mochitest, I only get 1 test to run…wtf?

Success!  TEST_PATH=toolkit/mozapps/extensions/test/ make -C . mochitest-browser-chrome

Sweet, so all those tests run.  Bad news though – a bunch of failing tests.  Going to see if it was my patch.  Ok, looks like a bunch of tests were failing before I even committed anything.  That’s good, I guess.

So, I have to compare them in order to ensure that there aren’t MORE failing tests after my patch goes in.

I now have access to the Intranet.  Sweet – lots of stuff to read here.  “So you’re a new Mozilla Messaging hire…”

Just subscribed to a few internal mailing lists, and submitted by Mozilla feed to be added to Planet Mozilla and Planet Mozilla Messaging.  Woop!

Ok, back to testing, I’ve found this:  http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/mozapps/extensions/test/browser/browser_sorting.js  This looks like paydirt.

The CEO of Mozilla Messaging (David Ascher) just welcomed me to MoMo:

mconley: welcome to the madhouse

Awesome. [WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE]

Sweet!  Tons of stuff for free:  MockProvider, createAddons – I think this’ll be cake tomorrow.

Ooops – Dave Townsend just asked a good question:  what about extensions that are to-be-installed?  to-be-uninstalled?  Where do they go?

I’ll have to check that out tomorrow.

But right now, it’s home time.
