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

  • KaiRo will solicit opinions on whether to use the new “pretty names” system for our release builds that Firefox and Thunderbird are using.

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

  • Should we have all NEW bugs that had no comment after 2005-03-10 mass-changed to UNCONFIRMED?
    • [KaiRo] has finally done the mass-UNCONFIRMing on Sunday, query tag for this change: mass-UNCONFIRM-20090614

SeaMonkey 2 Beta 1

Bug Queries

open blockers (1)
all blockers (2)
blocker requests (1)

  • SeaMonkey developers will need to nominate bugs that they think should be considered for blocking Beta 1.
    • IanN: more triage of the blocker nominations?
  • Tentative Beta 1 freeze date?
    • Thunderbird 3.0 beta 3 dates are still totally up in the air, what should we do?
    • They are waiting for Search to land and it’s looking quite close now but they still have more than 30 blockers left.
    • The main Search patch has landed. Standard8 thinks that a release freeze in 2 to 4 weeks is possible.
    • Tentative Beta 1 freeze date pushed back 2 weeks to the next meeting where we will decide on a hard freeze date.
    • We shall also need to do a L10n freeze at that time. We hope to release L10n builds off the automated harness KaiRo is working on.
  • Tabmail is still the biggest missing item. It needs a bit more work and reviews, but it’s reaching a usable state.
    • Prerequisite for Lightning which we would like to support.
  • Blocker bug 484175 (History Import from SeaMonkey 1.1.x is not working): how can we progress?
    • This is due to the order in which toolkit starts up. Discussions on various ways to fix this for SeaMonkey.

SeaMonkey 2 Beta 2

Bug Queries

open blockers (0)
all blockers (0)
blocker requests (1)

  • We might want to take bug 474701 depending on how it works out in Thunderbird.

Longer-Term SeaMonkey 2 Planning

open wanted (11)
wanted requests (17)

Bug statistics for last two (full) weeks: 29 new, 32 fixed, 43 triaged.

Major wanted/needed features:

  • Download manager aftermath:
    • bug 474622 InvisibleSmiley is working on some key hookups.
    • KaiRo fixed the OSX button images.
    • bug 495680 The import problem with downloads with the -1 (NOT_STARTED) status in the old download.rdf still needs to be looked at in toolkit, might be an easy patch once we know what to do with them.
    • IanN note significant slow down in the tree view updating.
  • Toolbar customization aftermath:
    • Ratty fixed a minor regression: bug 491676 problems with multistate-buttons.
    • bug 481862 We still need small button icons for modern in MailNews.
  • bug 456757 Modern theme update. prometeo has stepped up to work on this.
    • No News.
  • bug 460699 Make the default theme look better on mac.
    • No News.
  • 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.
    • We probably need to move this item to 2.next (or Beta 2?).
  • bug 460953 Port jminta’s kill-rdf to SeaMonkey where applicable.
    • There isn’t any urgent need for progress on this as long as we don’t break. It might be good for extensions if we to convert our folder pane to be JS-driven e.g. calendar wants to put items there.
  • bug 460960 Port Thunderbird tabbed interface to MailNews.
    • No News.
  • bug 348720 New icon set for “SeaMonkey Default Theme”.
    • No News.
  • bug 465504 Include an identity indicator in primary chrome (EV certificate UI). FIXED.
    • Modern Patch for theming the URL bar has been checked in.

Roundtable

Status Updates from developers – what are you working on, what’s the progress, any other comments? (feel free to add yourself to the list if your name is missing and you have interesting status).

xpcshell Tests & Leak Logs

  • Thanks to Serge Gautherie for finishing and landing bug 384339, this means that check-interactive works correctly even with tail_*.js scripts in xpcshell tests.
  • We have now have landed mailnews shutdown scripts for everything bar mailnews/db/gloda.
    • Therefore reported leaks for xpcshell-tests are either real leaks or issues in the testcases.
    • bug 498147 is the tracking bug for leaks in MailNews – bugs already filed for existing leaks.
    • Some leak bugs cover multiple tests as they are most likely caused by one issue.

stefanh

wladow

Any other business?

  • Should we use the “pretty name” system used by FF (and IIRC TB as well) for our release builds?
    • We would have structures and names like win32/en-US/SeaMonkey Setup 2.0 Alpha 4.exe
    • KaiRo will solicit opinions. Meanwhile we will continue not to use pretty names.

  • We’ve hit zero blockers at least twice, BUT three code related blockers remain.
    • All three are JS.
    • Two of those have a fix and are in process of being finalized. Only one remains.
    • We’re blocking on correctness issues, found mostly by JS fuzzers. One plus one should equal 2.
  • Since most of the team has wrapped up 1.9.1 blockers, we’re focusing on (and have been for a while) future projects and the remaining planning. Watch dev-planning for conversations on the next release.

SeaMonkey:StatusMeetings:2009-06-02

From MozillaWiki

« last meeting | index

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

  • Should we have all NEW bugs that had no comment after 2005-03-10 mass-changed to UNCONFIRMED?
    • [KaiRo] has blogged and posted, we need to decide on what to do.
    • See Any other business? for the resolution.

SeaMonkey 2 Beta 1

Bug Queries

open blockers (1)
all blockers (2)
blocker requests (1)

  • SeaMonkey developers will need to nominate bugs that they think should be considered for blocking Beta 1.
    • IanN has completed triage of the blocker nominations.
    • Confirmed one; Asked for 3 to be renominated; and 1 for confirmation if it is still an issue.
  • Tentative Beta 1 freeze date today!?
    • Thunderbird 3.0 beta 3 dates are still totally up in the air, what should we do?
    • They are waiting for Search to land and it’s looking quite close now but they still have 30 blockers left.
    • When TB does decide to freeze, Standard8 thinks it’s going to happen quite quickly.
  • Thunderbird has added one more beta (beta 4) to their schedule, will we do a beta 2 as well?
    • Probably.
    • There are issues that definitely need an extra step between beta 1 and release.
    • We could make it the mail beta and concentrate on integrating stuff from TB3.
  • Tabmail is still the biggest missing item.
    • Prerequisite for Lightning which we would like to support.
  • We might want to take bug 474701 depending on how it works out in Thunderbird.
  • Possible blocker bug 484175 (History Import from SeaMonkey 1.1.x is not working).

Longer-Term SeaMonkey 2 Planning

open wanted (12)
wanted requests (18)

Bug statistics for last two (full) weeks: 28 new, 19 fixed, 67 triaged.

Major wanted/needed features:

  • bug 381157 Download manager backend.
    • LANDED! Thanks to Callek and mcsmurf for the work!
    • bug 472001 UI for download manager.
      • LANDED!
    • bug 483241 Fully implement download progress dialogs.
      • LANDED!
    • Some smaller followups still in progress, so far no larger problems reported
  • Toolbar customization:
    • Need to fix a minor regression bug 491676 (MailNews has problems with multistate-buttons).
    • and get working small icons for mailnews in Modern bug 481862.
  • bug 456757 Modern theme update. prometeo has stepped up to work on this.
    • No news.
  • bug 460699 Make the default theme look better on mac.
    • No news.
  • 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.
    • We probably need to move this item to 2.next (or Beta 2?).
  • bug 460953 Port jminta’s kill-rdf to SeaMonkey where applicable.
    • There isn’t any urgent need for progress on this as long as we don’t break. It might be good for extensions if we to convert our folder pane to be JS-driven e.g. calendar wants to put items there.
  • bug 460960 Port Thunderbird tabbed interface to MailNews.
    • New patch submitted. Waiting for reviews.
  • bug 348720 New icon set for “SeaMonkey Default Theme”.

  • Fixed (or in-progress) SeaMonkey bugs:
    • bug 474152 [SeaMonkey] TUnit toolkit/…/test_contentAreaUtils.js fails after bug 464795 landing
    • bug 494676 Upload Packaged tests for SeaMonkey
      • Anyone should be able to download and run these (“SeaMonkey-Ports” atm) builds and tests! 🙂
  • Fixed Core/… (but SM related) bugs:
    • bug 471085 Intermittent hang/crash at end of ‘mochitest’ suite, triggered by test_videocontrols.html
    • bug 494677 Port ‘package-tests’ build target to comm-central
    • bug 494769 [MacOSX] mochitest-plain: test_wav_trailing.html (and others) intermittently triggers “malloc: *** error: can’t allocate region”
  • And working on other areas… like
    • infrastructure to run tests
    • filing bugs for leaks in (TUnit) tests
    • doing an (experimental) Windows mozilla-central SeaMonkey build, reporting to bug 470184 issue tracking; looking forward to SM/m-c builds now that KaiRo is setting up the new buildbot slaves (bug 464325 follow-ups).

Agenda

Action Items

New

Open

  • Autoconfig process – work in progress
  • Muting status meeting – gozer

Closed

Thunderbird 3 Beta 3

  • Planned Freeze Dates ( All dates use time of 23:59 PST )
    • Slushy String freeze date: TBD
    • Slushy Code Freeze date: TBD
    • Firm String / Code freeze date: TBD
    • l10n-mozilla-1.9.1 freeze date: TBD
    • Target Build Ship date: TBD
  • dmose is release driver
  • gozer is build engineer
  • Search (bug 474701) will be landing over the next week or two and then we’ll finish up the beta.
    • try server build while the patch is being reviewed
    • once it lands dates for b3 and b4.
  • Beta 3 stated as the release for all work with serious downstream work impact (ui, backend, l10n, etc). Anything that isn’t like that should be pushed out into Beta 4.
  • Driver ownership of bugs
    • From a drivers conversation, requiring blocking bugs to be owned by drivers is being reconsidered. Drivers own too many bugs to drive them all. Changing this policy would helps the lists reflect reality better, so having blockers be owned by nobody@mozilla.org is now OK.

Thunderbird 3 Beta 4

  • Release Driver: Standard8
  • Build Engineer: gozer

Thunderbird 3

  • Please set bugs to assigned status (as well as owner to you) if you want to do them.
  • If you have other bugs assigned to you that you don’t want to do, please reassign or discuss with drivers.
  • Infrastructure requirements are moving forward (AUS, 10.5 builders, statistics)

QA Updates

  • A few people were very active last week both :
    • in triaging bugs (with at lest one new active member)
    • and Filling new ones
  • This week will probably end up being a normal bugday – is there anything that devs would like to see tested at this point ?
  • Make sure to add qawanted keyword if you need more information or STR for a bug.
  • bug 492963 needs some attention as we suspect it’s going to affect B3 users way more than b2.

Status Updates

sid0
  • Worked on bug 467768 (make mail open in tabs by default).
    • Mostly works, however a bunch of failing edge cases means the patch lacks any sort of polish.
    • Several architectural constraints, even with the patch in bug 474701. Working with asuth for ways to work around them.
    • Also found and reported a few bugs with the patch in bug 474701.

  • Tab implementation improvements – bug 493700 allow different tabs to specify their own controllers for enabling/disabling command options (and specifying their own implementation of functions).
    • Still some work to do to get all menu options working correctly on non-message pane contexts, filed follow-up bugs.
  • bug 440794 Send In Background
    • Landed listener updates (api changes) that improve the activity manager UI and hopefully will help with automated retry etc.
    • bug 495527 Fixed up unit tests following the api changes.
    • Now trying to extract the send failure dialogs from the sending code so that we can do automated retry without prompting the user with a modal dialog each time.

Summary

  • our ability to move fixes from mozilla-central to mozilla-1.9.1 is impressive, due largely to better sheriffing practises and attention to [oranges]
