Status of the SeaMonkey Buildbot Master and Tree
- No Windows langpacks since 8th April on trunk. Needs investigating.
- Comment from mcsmurf on this: Not clear what is meant by this, please clarify. xpi/win32/ folders on FTP server look fine. Also file a bug if something needs to be investigated/fixed.
- The Java on Linux bug has been tracked down to being due to our (SM's) build config. Basically our RelEng team needs to check whether we can switch to linking libstdc++ dynamically, like FF and TB do. See: bug 754622 Oracle/Sun Java jre1.7.0_04 and later does not work in SeaMonkey.
- In the mean time, InvisibleSmiley has added the workaround to the 2.17 and 2.18 release notes.
- Tinderbox is going to be EOLed. We need to move the SeaMonkey tinderboxpushlog off.
- Mostly done now, just a few loose ends.
- Callek has gotten up and running a newer version of TBPL (that doesn't depend on tinderbox) for testing. This will be deployed eventually to replace the current TBPL code we are running.
- Mcsmurf needs to talk to Callek to see if tbpl can get more memory (some PHP(?) setting?) as sometimes fetching a log fails due to not enough memory (See bug 845844).
- Intermittent issue with Mac OSX64 Debug Leak log comprehension. Issue tracked in bug 774844. Also see possibly related Thunderbird bug 806492.
- Two remaining machines on Parallels are the buildmaster (cb-seamonkey-linuxmaster-01) and Linux64 (cb-seamonkey-linux64-01).
These need to be migrated to ESX. Specifically:- sea-vm-linux64-1 will replace cb-seamonkey-linux64-01 (and running jobs now).
- sea-master1 will replace the current buildmaster.
- Both our buildmaster and cb-seamonkey-linux64-01 are down due to hardware failure. This means no builds and no releases until they are replaced. After two days of help from DCOps, Callek has decided to cease all recovery operations and concentrate on setting up the puppetmaster to get the ball rolling on getting our new buildmaster out. Therefore, our 2.18b5 and our 2.18 release are cancelled. instead will go directly to the 2.19 series of betas.
- bug 740633 set up seamonkey HPs in scl3. Hardware installed and iLO configured. CentOS 6.3 installed.
- Awaiting puppetmaster fully prepared to instantiate as Linux Mock-Based slaves
- sea-puppet (one of said hp machines) is ready to be configured as a puppet master (bug 827079), needs audit of the manifests and settings creation.
- comm-* will be building out of mozilla-* eventually. Jcrammer is working on this.
- bug 865976 Cannot build SeaMonkey on Linux since Bug 842927 (Implement DOM3 KeyboardEvent.key only for non-printable key, first) [Fixed].
Release Train
- Due to hardware failure, SeaMonkey 2.18b5 and SeaMonkey 2.18 were cancelled.
- Instead will go directly to 2.19 series of betas and by the 24th June, the 2.19 final. This means that users of 2.17.1 will be going directly to 2.19.
- If Firefox decides to do a dot release, we might go for a 2.18 later.
Extensions Compatibility Tracking
- See Basics page. Please only list current changes here.
- Addon Compatibility Listings
- There are now Lightning versions for both SM 2.17.x (Lightning 2.2b1) and SM 2.18 betas (Lightning 2.3b1) available on AMO.
- Might need to point out in release notes that users needs to install the Lightning beta versions for the SeaMonkey releases (as Lightning follows Thunderbird 17.0.x release schedule)
- Problem: Linking to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/seamonkey/addon/lightning/versions/ will provide users with versions that do not put them on the addons beta update channel; also linking to a specific version would need updating with every release
- Linking to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/seamonkey/addon/lightning/#beta-channel does not jump to the correct page position as addons.mozilla.org loads the user comments for the addon after pageload. So it first moves to the correct position (page anchor) and after that it loads the user comments
- Shipped extensions (DOMI, CZ, Venkman) compatibility:
- Extensions are now compatible by default thus mitigating the issue. Although some people still disable c-b-d and run into issues.
- Our build team needs to automate DOMI branch selection rather than having to tweak the client.py every 6 weeks. bug 763506
- Meanwhile Callek made some changes to the tags that SM pulls (CZ, Venkman, DOMI) for comm-central. See comm-central changeset 347b255c4810.
- Nightly Tester Tools is being actively developed by xabolcs (coder) and whimboo (reviewer) to make it more compatible with comm-central in general and SeaMonkey in particular. See Issues · mozilla/nightlytt · GitHub.
- Alpha build of new Nightly Tester Tools available at http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/nightlytt-3.6pre-201304281100-1e1b71fd0875.xpi
Update: on 1 May uploaded a version with titlebar customization working in SeaMonkey (in addition to an ability to customize the "Build ID" paste string with both c-c and m-c changesets) as http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/other/nightlytt-3.6pre-fx+tb+sm+tk.xpi ; this is still not yet ready for prime time, the customization dialog works, but needs to be checked. See also the "Settings" and "Variables" sections on the Nightly Tester Tools wiki page. Tonymec 08:40, 1 May 2013 (PDT).
- Alpha build of new Nightly Tester Tools available at http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/nightlytt-3.6pre-201304281100-1e1b71fd0875.xpi

Feature List, Planning
Private Browsing is now mostly complete and uplifted to 2.18. Most things should work but some edge cases have probably been missed. Hopefully any remaining bugs will be found before its release.
- Testing would be appreciated! Please file bugs as blocking the meta bug 460895.
- We need to figure out if we want a new about:privatebrowsing page which someone will have to write (bug 842439). Help content is being worked on bug 872000.
Bug statistics for the last two (full) weeks: 33 new, 6 fixed, 12 triaged.
- Low triaging effort.
Open reviews/flags: 23 review 7 super-review 2 ui-review 6 feedback
- bug 847546 Support Retina Display (HiDPI) on SeaMokney on MacOS X.
- Ratty thinks we will need 2x PNGs as well as other changes. See Core Tracking bug 785330 for supporting HiDPI mode (Retina Display) on Mac OS X.
- See Feature List page for major wanted/needed features.
- Ratty suggests featuring one or more bugs from that page at each meeting.
- Featured helpwanted bugs:
- bug 449728 Drag tabs between windows.
Good First Bugs
- Note: The GFB list is open to all including our regular contributors.
- Ratty is working on an updated GFB list, suggestions welcome.
- New GFBs recently added:
- Currently there are 24 GFBs open, 2 are being actively worked on. bug 735333 needs some help getting this running on the try-server. Mcsmurf is assisting.
- List of Open mentored bugs.
- Ratty notes that there are 23 bugs that are GFBs but without the mentor keyword. These need to be audited to see if they are really suitable as GFBs.
- Mentors of stalled bugs should try to communicate with the assignees and if they can't work on them any more to unassign/free up those bugs.
