SeaMonkey Meeting Details

Agenda

  • Who's taking minutes? -> Ratty

Action Items

(who needs to do what that hasn't been recorded in a bug) We should assign people to the open items.

NEW

OPEN

  • Get permission from Google to use their geolocation JSON service [KaiRo]. Contact at Google says: "We don't have a good estimate for when GLS will be opening up more broadly, but I will be sure to let you know when we take that step. Sorry that I can not be more specific at this time." - We can only wait right now.

CLOSED

  • File bug on target milestone and flags for 2.1a1 [KaiRo]. Filed and already fixed as bug 512086 together with the 1.1.19 flags/keyword.

SeaMonkey 2.0 Beta 2

open blockers (4) blocker requests (0)

  • IanN has started triaging nominations, KaiRo finished them!
  • Code freeze: September 1 - string freeze August 27 (both 23:59 Pacific).
  • Targeted ship date: September 8 (Firefox 3.0.14/3.5.3 are targeted Sep 9).
    • Thunderbird is targeting Beta4 release on 22nd September with 11th September for code freeze.
    • We need to care that they keep shared code stable during the timeframe we need, and the strings in suite/ need to be frozen during our string freeze, which includes mailnews strings. The code freeze period for us should be fairly short, if we have no blockers left on Sep 1, we can do builds on Sep 2 and unfreeze immediately. The string freeze is the real impact.
  • Tabmail is the big missing feature.
    • Should be in final review stages, biggest part is probably IanN's review.
  • The API changes of bug 474701 would be nice to get, Lightning uses some part of it, filed bug 509324 for that.
  • This is our last beta, and that means that September 1st is also feature freeze for the 2.0 series! Exceptions will only be granted in rare and really-high-value cases.
  • Do we have to look for bugs that may need help making the string freeze?
    • If we have more features to land for the 2.0 cycle, we should really get them pushed into the tree now or wait for 2.1, unless they are really high reward and we think we really want them in 2.0.
    • Thunderbird can't guarantee that they can hold string freeze past the 2nd.
    • suite/ will accept new strings for a while in September, but we want to keep changes small once we're officially feature-frozen next Tuesday.
    • If we have all blockers resolved by code freeze next Tuesday, we can start the release process with tagging on Wednesday and once the relbranch is tagged, we can unfreeze.
  • Current blockers: status?
    • bug 474709 Depends on the review, but mcsmurf thinks the patch is good. Note: has string impact.
    • bug 507896 Should not be that difficult to fix [mcsmurf].
    • bug 505832 The relevant AMO people have been poked [KaiRo].

SeaMonkey 2.0 Final

open blockers (4) blocker requests (36) open wanted (18) wanted requests (31)

  • IanN will start triaging blocker and wanted requests.
    • We can probably put off a number of things, where they sound useful, to 2.1a1 or 2.1.
  • Target schedule: Freeze October 6, ship mid-October?
    • Thunderbird is expecting RC1 freeze on 3rd November but string freeze also on October 6 or so.
    • Freeze on October 6th should allow at least a week of string freeze for final and allow us for some time of candidate testing, whether we push them as public RC releases or not.
    • We can look at more details closer to when 2.0b2 is about to go public.

    • No News.
  • bug 460953 Port jminta's kill-rdf to SeaMonkey where applicable.
    • sgautherie is working his way steadily through porting all the relevant Thunderbird bugs.

We also should take a careful look at the other items on wanted-seamonkey2+ for things like things like:

  • bug 436794 Enable Mac OS X system address book per default and add UI.
  • bug 508039 Port |Bug 456439 - add about:rights and a "Know Your Rights" infobar to Firefox| to SeaMonkey.

If there's anything on that list you think we shouldn't take for 2.0 any more, please notify KaiRo, so we can push them to 2.1.

2.1

  • bug 410613 OpenSearch. helpwanted.
    • We need to check if OpenSearch can support all our existing functionality, for example the INTEPRETS section in Sherlock search plugins. Mnyromyr will check on that, and on how extensible the Firefox code is.

Any other business?

  • Do we have enough machines for when we branch?
    • We are already running a configuration that is build-wise the same as having an actual branched setup, and in terms of having builds for trunk and branch, we have things up and running.
    • In terms of running tests on both, we are at least missing two machines which were promised to us, KaiRo is working with IT and community giving to get that resolved.
    • But even with those machines, we'll be overloaded unless the machines magically get significantly faster. We'll need to take a deeper look into what to do about that later.
