Agenda

  • Who’s taking minutes? -> Ratty
  • Nominees for Friends of the Fish Tank:
    • No nominations wins again.

Status of the SeaMonkey Buildbot Master and Tree

  • All our machines are now at SCL3 or SCL1.
    • The R4 Macs are plugged-in, connected and base-imaged. Waiting on Callek to complete the setup (also see below in the clang section, sea-mini-osx64-1..4).
    • The 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 most likely replace cb-seamonkey-linux64-01.
      • sea-master1 will replace the current buildmaster.
    • bug 740633 set up seamonkey HPs in scl3. Hardware installed and iLO configured. CentOS 6.3 installed. sea-puppet is online. Callek to set the host up as a puppet master.
  • Linux builds have been failing because the GTK version installed on the tinderboxen was too old. See bug 795354 on updating the GTK version on the tinderboxen. bug 794285 has lowered the GTK version requirement back to 2.10 for now (also see bug 793634 on this, in the future GTK 2.18 and glib 2.22 will be required).
  • Linux 64bit builds are failing (bug 798921) since mozilla-central bug 797671 landed.
    • This is due to us having an older binutils package on the machine 2.17.50.0.6-2.
    • “SSE4 support in gas and objdump” was added to binutils in 2.17.50.0.6-4.
    • This is enabled by default on x86_64 and based off another check for x86, which explains why linux32 is OK.
    • We should be able to get Linux 64bit building again (at the cost of some perf) if we define YUV_DISABLE_ASM.
  • Windows are now fixed with bug 794351 updating the Windows tinderboxen to a current NSIS version.
  • Build SeaMonkey using clang bug 775539. In progress.
    • bug 776426 Set up ccache on all MacOSX systems. CCACHE is installed on the MacOSX systems. Buildbot config changes to enable ccache usage have been checked in. Currently waiting to see if this fix sticks.
    • bug 791442 Mac trunk build with clang and XCode 4.1 failing. Callek is investigating. Current solution will be to install Mac OS X 10.7 (already done) and all required software on the sea-mini-osx64-1..4 and do buildbot magic to only build on the new macs and test on our “old” ones. There is no solution yet for the machines cb-sea-miniosx64-01..3.
  • Localized SeaMonkey central & aurora Linux & Mac builds busted. A fix is in progress in bug 799626.

Release Train

It’s been busy two weeks again with 3 releases including a chemspill. And another one potentially coming up, which would further delay 2.14b1. The benefit would be that the Addressbook fix could ride along.

  • 2.13b6 shipped October 5
  • 2.13 shipped October 9
  • 2.13.1 shipped October 12

Extensions Compatibility Tracking

  • See Basics page. Please only list current changes here.
  • Addon Compatibility Listings
    • Nothing to highlight.
  • Our build team (Serge, Callek, ewong) needs to automate DOMI branch selection rather than having to tweak the client.py every 6 weeks. bug 763506
    • sgautherie thinks that the current DOMi branches/tags are not suitable for automatic SeaMonkey branch selection.
    • Need some traction on this. IanN spoke to Serge at MozCampEU. Serge is waiting for Callek/ewong to agree what needs to happen and to say what is workable or not.

2.x (Last, Current, Next)

  • 2.12 had ~87,700 ADU by last Tuesday and 2.12.1 ~138,500 downloads so far.
    • Of the released versions, as of last Tuesday, we have 11.2% on 2.0, 3.2% on 2.1-2.3, 4.0% on 2.4-2.6, 6.6% on 2.7-2.9, 2.5% on 2.10, 7.2% on 2.11 and 65.3% on 2.12. So, in the last two weeks, ~0.2k (an additional 0.2% of ADU) have migrated to 2.7 or above.
    • Some people cannot upgrade due to system requirements (OS version, processor capabilities etc.). This even more applies to 2.10 which dropped support for Win2k and WinXP without SP2.
    • We now have a webpage for latest builds available for “Legacy Platforms” like PPC (bug 759315) but hikerbiker suggests making the Legacy/PPC link more discoverable (Mozillazine post). IanN agrees that the current link is not easily found. InvisibleSmiley said that he didn’t want it to be too obvious or highlighted. IanN thinks splitting and renaming Old to Previous isn’t a bad idea and moving Unofficial Releases after it. Perhaps merging Contributed builds into it.
      • This is now bug 788543 SeaMonkey – PPC Legacy links are not easy to find.
      • The point is that the new page lists external projects, i.e. projects we have no control over and where we cannot estimate the level of quality, provide no support etc. InvisibleSmiley really dislikes the idea of exposing any of that more than necessarily. So, if someone puts up a viable suggestion on the corresponding bug and people (read: seamonkey-members) agree that’s what should be done, Jens will do it, otherwise not.
  • See Basics page for the usual reminders.

2.13

fixed (6)

  • We’ve had one chemspill (2.13.1) with potentially another one coming up.
  • One tracked 2.5 issue still open.
    • 2.1 through 2.7 have NOT included the ka (Kartvelian aka Georgian) locale. The last release with ka locale shipped was 2.0.14. The ka l10n maintainer has made some recent updates but;
    • Callek thinks we should remove ka, unless we can get commitment from the ka person to actually update things himself instead of dumping tarballs on us and expecting us to check it in for him. Tracked in bug 667147.

  • Good triaging effort.

Open reviews/flags:
24 review
7 super-review
2 ui-review
7 feedback

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.
  • Currently there are 31 GFBs open, 3 are being actively worked on. 2 are stalled.
  • List of Open mentored bugs.
    • Ratty notes that there are 24 bugs that are GFBs but without the mentor keyword. These need to be audited to see if they are really suitable as GFBs.
  • In the last two weeks since the previous meeting:
  • Newcomers are stalled on bug 752331 (Amod) and on bug 791266 (idlike2dream).
    • 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.

stefanh

Fixed:

  • bug 433254 Implement Mac shell service for SeaMonkey.
  • bug 783822 [Mac default] adopt editBMPanel to new light coloring.

tonymec

  • FIXED
    • bug 789865 Port front-end parts from bug 440794 (Initial sendInBackground support) to SeaMonkey (see above, Good First Bugs)
    • bug 794777 Upgrade license to MPL 2 for /suite/installer/license.txt
  • Results of Equinox Bug Event are still only partly complete. Bugzilla reports have been set up, the manual tallying of Who did what? is complete for bugs < 200000; a few higher ones are also included.

Any other business?

  • Bug Day:
    • Useful link: [1], also see [2] for results.
    • Tallying Bug Day results: still in progress. See Tonymec’s roundtable entry for details.
  • Test failures
    • qawanted, especially on Linux and MacOSX specific issues: reproducing and reporting would already help.
    • Serge says that on Linux and MacOSX, he just needs someone to actually run the tests and report what they see (screen, console, etc). For example, there is a Mac test about Ctrl+W not working. This should be so trivial.
    • Tonymec suggests that any enthusiastic user, even non-technical, should be able to do some testing (litmus?) and not be scared by technical language and such.
    • IanN suggests reaching out to the user community using the newsgroups and forums.
    • Ratty to liaise with Serge when he gets back on doing a write up how the community can help us with this.
