We're about to land an update to our WebKit code that contains about 4 months worth of changes. This will make the tree unreleasable. We need to get the tree healthy again so that we can get back to releasing new stuff to users.
Until we resolve all of the post-WebKit-merge issues, nothing's going out the door (well, maybe a few important patches to 154), so you're effectively blocked on this anyway. In the short term (a couple of days?), I expect that the tree will be red, so you shouldn't even be checking in new code. *** Please make it a priority to help fix the issues in any way you can. *** *** I want to get the tree back to a releasable state by 15 October (2 weeks). *** Things you can help fix: 1. Layout test failures and regressions. There are ~1000 tests that need to be fixed or rebaselined. Sometimes just getting a bug on file with accurate root-cause analysis is a huge help. 2. Other test failures. There will be failures in other test areas, such as UI tests and the page cycler tests. 3. Crashes. I'm sure we have crashes that reliability tests and the page cyclers will shake out. Getting all the layout tests passing is the largest amount of work and where we need the most help. I've asked Jon to coordinate the layout test fixing. He'll have more details in the next day or so.
