Status of the SeaMonkey Buildbot Master and Tree

  • Buildmaster is up and running, and produces en-US builds, see 9/16 meeting's Friends of the Fish Tank. Builds and langpacks in 18 languages including en-US are available unofficially thanks to A.Kalla, see also FOFT above.
    • Due to the master having some mysql issues, Callek has put a halt on the mysql updates, which affects the tbpl. So nothing is showing in tbpl atm.
  • comm-* will be building out of mozilla-* (bug 648979 etc.). Jcrammer has completed the coding. The decision to merge c-c into m-c has been kicked down the road into the next quarter or two.
    • Recent work on this:
    • bug 1040009 .mozconfig configure options are ignored if objdir path is absolute
    • bug 1035599 Pseudo-merge m-c and c-c's objdir
  • [30th September 2014]
    • Infrastructure issues
      • linux64 systems are plagued by bug 1058385. Regular AWOLing. Currently 8 slaves are down.
      • WinNT systems were plagued by bug 1069119 and bug 1069117; but they seem to be ok now.
      • NB: Currently the miscellaneous patches to fix the RelEng infra (tooltool et.al) are all applied to the master directly. Once reviewed, the patches will be pushed to their corresponding repositories and the master will be updated properly.
    • [comm-central]
      • All platforms busted : bug 1071497 Patch checked in. Builds now back to "normal".

Release Train

  • SeaMonkey 2.29.1 was released on 24th September 2014.
  • There shall be a 2.30 beta soon. Schedule TBA.
  • Useful Firefox Release Schedule link: Releases Scheduling

Extensions and Plugins Compatibility Tracking

  • Firefox & Thunderbird Add-on Converter for SeaMonkey
  • This tool goes a little further beyond simply modifying install.rdf - it also identifies a few more other things in the code that are Firefox or Thunderbird specific and attempts to change them. Of course, not all extensions can be ported so easily to SeaMonkey since there's only so much an automated tool like that can do.

    Add-on Converter for SeaMonkey: http://addonconverter.fotokraina.com/

    • Lemon Juice has been regularly updating his converter code, adding new fixes whenever an extension doesn't convert properly.
  • bug 1060858 Ghostery 5.3.1 dropped support for SeaMonkey. Ghostery depends on the Addon-SDK. Since the SDK has been rewritten to support Firefox Australis, Ghostery no longer works for SeaMonkey. See discussion thread on mozillazine
    • [Ratty] I've contacted the Ghostery people (bmcdermott) and the addon-SDK people. The Addon-SDK has been updated (bug 1071048 so now Ghostery works on SeaMonkey trunk builds. The Addon-SDK is uplifted to mozilla-central every few weeks. Once this is done I'll try to get the Ghostery patch uplifted to -aurora and -beta. Lemon Juice has been investigating other SDK based addons and so far the news is encouraging. QrCodeR can work in SeaMonkey by setting a SeaMonkey compatibility flag on three modules context-menu.js, selection.js and panel.js. Investigation continues!
  • See Basics page. Please only list current changes here.
  • Addon Compatibility Listings
  • Ratty filed bug 957149 to push an updated version of DOMi to addons.mozilla.org to pick up the latest fixes. Depends on:
  • Our build team needs to automate DOMI branch selection rather than having to tweak the client.py every 6 weeks. bug 763506

2.x (Last, Current, Next)

Feature List, Planning

Bug statistics for the last two (full) weeks: 57 new, 12 fixed, 18 triaged.

  • Medium triaging effort, well above average in new bugs filed during the last three weeks.
  • IanN thinks it would be useful to remind people on the newsgroups / forums that they can contribute by triaging. Tonymec will post a reminder to newsgroups / forums

Open reviews/flags: 31 review 6 super-review 3 ui-review 4 feedback

  • See Feature List page for major wanted/needed features.
  • TODO: We will need to update our Sync UI code due to the new Sync API. Also we need to check if we are allowed to create FX accounts from our UI Since the new Sync accounts are FX accounts.[IanN] I'm sure I saw a question about FX accounts and branding.
