Re: API review agenda (10/31) - XPI dialogs

[Doug Turner]

While adding signing support to XPInstall, I found that i needed to pass the cert name that signed the xpi file to the UI. This is so that the user can see who we think signed the xpi file. This name fits nicely in the packageList paramter of the methods on nsXPIDialogService. Before we freeze this interface, I would like to change the nsXPIDialogService interface such that the organization name of the signer is one of the string in the "packageList" parameter. If we don't do this, I am going to have to create a new interface that embedders are going to have to implement inorder to support signed xpi's.

We'll try to go over the APIs listed below this Thursday the 31st
starting at 11:00am, Pacific time. If you're in Mountain View,
we'll be in the Ironsides (B21-1) conference room. Dial in info:

Scheduled Meeting ID: 1212

The list is a simple enumeration of the APIs that we know are being
used by some of our clients. It does not intend to imply that freezing
of that API is the motivation, but rather that we need to understand why
its use was necessary and whether other interfaces exist now/should be
created to handle the needs, where necessary.

If you're on the 'to' list of this mail, your attendance is requested
(though anyone is always welcome). Handouts will not be provided, so if
you're not familiar w/ the interfaces being discussed, please bring your
own printout via printing the idl links below. The living notes document
for the API Review is available at
