- Unknowns in the release process
- Issues about compatibility
- Too much on our Build and QA plate
- Dan- over joyed - but need to raise visibility
- Need game plan so we are not in same boat for 1.5.0.3
- Automated updates. If there are two different things out there. Lots of different variables. What is currently running out there; how do we detect this? Current platform, emulated PPC, PPC, Intel, etc.
- Actions:
- For 1.5.0.2 Release <<== AI: TR/Preed/Rafael. Decide on how to release. What page, how to explain. Keep in mind: not official, not upgradeable.
- Ensure UB Release is in good shape for 1.5.0.3 - <<== AI: Mike morgan/Josh/Davel/Darin
- Josh will blog about tinderbox release of UB
- Bugs
- Blocker Noms:
- bug 331898 - Prebinding not working on Universal Binary Builds?
- bug 331511 - Running PPC profile on the Intel Mac UB causes
- Blocking
- bug 331869 - Mac Universal Binaries Don't have an update channel on them
- Waiting to land - none
- Blocker Noms:
- UB and extensions <<== big issue!!
- currently ext are 1.5.0.*
- if you upgrade from 1.5.0.1 extentions with binary objects - need full install
- Things stop working
- Will break ext with binary code
- Like Google Toolbar [Darin]
- Need to call UB: 1.5.1
- Options
- 1) Break all extensions
- 2) Release it seperately
- Get top ext - enigmail, google toolbag fixed for 1.5.0.x and then officially support.
- Release seperately
- 3) release note it BIG!
- 4) Cannot ship two different versions of mac [marcia/josh]
- Next steps
- Try google toolbar - probably wont find any native components; degraded functionality. Ex: spellcheck
- currently ext are 1.5.0.*
- We don't have the TBird UB issues resolved (bug 331511). We need to punt on UB for 1.5.0.2 TB.
- Build
- FF
- Completed the universal binary build, with the Talkback fix included. UB Build location
- Next: Once Davel tests, respin to include the fix in the release tag, and respin the Universal Binaries based on that tag (currently, they just pulled from HEAD on the branch, which isn't what we want).
- Make sure update channel is set to "release". Bug Number??
- Currently set to "default"
- Compile time change!
- Make sure update channel is set to "release". Bug Number??
- Start l10n for 1.5.0.2, since we'll have all the platforms, and hopefully no more respins!
- Can we take Lt and gu-IN?
- TB
- Final tag set, respins, UBs worked out (possibly)
- From Preed on 3/28/06: Don't use this [UB] build. I just saw in the log that Talkback did not build correctly. I shall fix this.
