Major Topics for This Week

Application

Native Front-end

  • Basic philosophy:
    • Keep more logic and behavior in JS and less in the native UI.
    • Keep the UI dumb
    • If we do need to port, we can reuse the non-native code more easily

Android Platform

Stand ups

Suggested format:

  • What did you do last week?
  • What are working on this week?
  • Anything blocking you?

Snorp

Last week:

  • Made Flash draw to a layer, which should reduce one copy. It also matches the way Flash draws a little better.
  • Fix some graphics invalidation issues
  • Worked on making RGBA work, but found that we really need the gfx team to do some work there. Jeff is investigating.
  • Work around some deadlock issues found with native UI

This week:

  • Debugged why video doesn’t work, but still don’t really know why
  • Worked on filling in some gaps in the ANPCanvas API. Drawing text is hard.
  • Out thurs/fri/mon for a wedding

Next week:

  • More of the same, but also need to figure out click-to-play and HC/ICS support

Kats

Last week:

  • scroll window as needed with soft keyboard up (696319)
  • attempt a fix for the java stack traces not showing up in logs (692185)
  • fixed an NPE in the awesome bar (when history is cleared), also some tweaks (removed incorrect entries from panes) (697528)
  • fixed an NPE that caused fennec to crash on rotation (697183)
  • fixed makefile problem where strings.xml wasn’t getting rebuilt properly (697433)
  • implemented the “forward” feature (695165), discovered a bug where gecko and java can get out of sync, fixed that too (697732)
  • fixed awesome screen history results showing only page url (697803)
  • added scroll indicators (695569)
  • fixed race conditions in tab code (697987)
  • had the about:crashes bug (694563) but kbrosnan closed that as wfm since he couldn’t repro

This week:

  • looking at find-on-page (695172)
  • some residual issues left over from last week
    • scroll indicators need to be less opaque?
    • threading warning for nsAndroidHistory

Blockers:

  • right now need to figure out what’s the best UI for find-on-page. exploring how well overlays on top of the gecko surface work, as that will determine if we need to use a screen-width find bar or can get away with a partial-width bar

GBrown

Last week:

  • startup cache: js/xul not updated — resolved (bug 695145)
  • startup cache: can build at package time…but then how/when do we unpack it? thoughts/comments appreciated (bug 696095)
  • bug 602611: 2-level cache (memory -> disk) — discussing with Bjarne

Next week:

  • finish startup cache
  • concentrate on disk cache

AlexP

  • Last week:
    • Investigated and fixed IME bugs:
      • Bug 632542 – Text entered with SlideIT VKB sometimes disappears
      • Bug 640025 – Clear text function using ezKeyboard does not work
      • Bug 618921 – the chat capability of etherpad application doesn’t work with fennec
    • Coordinated the efforts on testing the IME with Naoki Hirata, tested some older bugs to confirm they are fixed.
  • This week:

SeaMonkey Meeting Details

<script>if (window.showTocToggle) { var tocShowText = “show”; var tocHideText = “hide”; showTocToggle(); } </script>

Agenda

  • Who’s taking minutes? -> Ratty
  • Nominees for Friends of the Fish Tank?
    • Tony Mechelynck for organising the bug event.
    • Px and Mnyromyr for lots of bug triaging during the bug event.
    • Callek and the Mozilla RelEng team for services above and beyond the call of duty in getting SeaMonkey builds working again.
    • Please note A person or entity can’t be nominated twice in a row.

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

  • IanN to write the “Friends of the Fish Tank” F.A.Q.

CLOSED

Status of the SeaMonkey Buildbot Master and Tree

Previously on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Callek said:

  • “What Happened?”
    • One XServe that hosts “Parallels” in Mozilla died, taking down with it all the data it housed. (There were two problems to appear here)
  • “What VM’s does that translate to?”
    • Parallels can only reliably (for us anyway) run 7 total VM’s; Which are: 1 “Linux32 CentOS5.0 Buildbot Master”, 2 “Linux32 Centos5.0 Buildbot Slaves”, 1 “Linux64 Centos5.0 Buildbot Slave”, 3 “Win32 w2k3 Buildbot Slaves”
  • “Don’t you have refimages?”
    • Sadly we don’t have anything current. I had just updated both our masters software heavily and our Linux32 slaves.
  • “What can I do to help?”
    • Not sure there is too much build/releng related that you, in general can do. I suspect it will be more work in the end to get many of you into the loop after thinking about it. Primarily because it would mean me handholding a bit, getting you access to the machines with <secret-password> and meaning I’ll want to verify that nothing is out of whack….
  • “What does this mean for our Release”
    • We missed one planned beta because of this, and at the rate things are going, we’ll miss the next beta date too. We might likely be delaying the Gecko 8 ship date at that, I’m trying hard to make that not the case though.
  • “Where do we stand with the machine right now?”
    • Mozilla IT gave me rough ETA of Wednesday 26th before Host OS is installed setup, VM software is installed (parallels or maybe even VMWare Fusion, not sure), and we get the base image/OS’s installed for the now-lost VM’s. I’ll start work on the buildmaster as _SOON_ as I get confirmation the system is ready.
  • “Can you get help from other Mozilla Departments?”
    • Maybe, I have sent a request to Mozilla Releng to see if they can spare a few machines, and give me access to them to do my release-work at the least. So I can have a beta/release out with relatively little delay. I don’t really expect an answer until after their weekly meeting on Monday 24th, if even that early. Beyond that there really is no easy path to getting additional help.
  • “When can I land my patches?”
    • I’ll make the confirmation now, that any patches slated to land on aurora/beta and any [simple] regression fixes, and any bustage fixes, can land with explicit approval. And all must have been tested locally. Where possible also test other OS’s as well. If in doubt, ask yourself if the risk of it landing with no builds is worse than the trouble the bug causes. (since at this point, I’m unsure if any beta patches will be able to have coverage before my next/final beta build)

Current Situation
(To be updated)

  • Callek has a temporary buildbot master up and running and we have been able to get some builds out. Some nightlies are available from the 30th onwards.
  • We still don’t have all machines up (about half of the Linux and Windows machines and the Linux64 machine are still missing), but we have some coverage on the major platforms. Windows will just take longer than usual to build due to only having 2 of 5 machines up.
  • Tree is still closed unless you have tested things up, down, and sideways.
    • Callek says we can open the tree to METERED.
    • What’s METERED? Approval required and try to not get too many pushes in short order.

Release Train

  • Callek is working on getting comm-aurora and comm-beta on MXR (bug 653424).
    • Patch updated. Awaiting review. Although it looks like Corey has taken over the bug from Callek.
  • 2.5b3 shipped 14th October.
  • Target date for 2.5 is around 8th November. (Note: This sounds unlikely given the tree closure. Update/new ETA needed.)
  • We expect at least 1 more beta, perhaps two. The buildbot master being down (went down two weeks ago) may cause a delay and we will probably miss one beta. buildbot down is bug 695278). A brief chat with IT indicates it may require a colo-trip. Unfortunately only one person really knows how to administer the machine those VM’s are on.
  • Update: Callek is on the East Coast so he’s probably been hit by storm related power cuts. We will need to discuss VM administration when Callek is back online.

Extensions Compatibility Tracking

  • Addon Compatibility Listings created and maintained by InvisibleSmiley, with help from some community members like DERoss.
    • Recent changes can be found here.
    • [InvisibleSmiley:] The External Sources part is still TODO, help appreciated.
  • Enigmail provides versions for release (AMO) and all branches (Enigmail nightly page)
  • Lightning currently provides versions for the current stable release (AMO), Aurora and trunk (both FTP) and Beta (Calendar Versions page).
  • The latest Firebug is now fully compatible but still not flagged as such on AMO (which seems to depend on automatic tests being set up and run on the Firebug side, see Issue 4430)
    • [InvisibleSmiley] Use Firebug 1.9 pre-releases for 2.4 and later (maybe even earlier SM versions; haven’t checked)
  • Besides the above, we should also take a look at other add-ons that are important for our users when they switch to 2.x.
  • InvisibleSmiley still needs help updating and maintaining the FAQ Wiki page. Everybody please help update it, so it stays current. mcsmurf says he’ll help.
  • KaiRo created a SeaMonkey Features page and sub-pages for all those that are in development.
  • We need to get the Addon Compatibility page finished and better communicate how to keep Lightning and Enigmail updated since unfortunately the only versions provided on AMO are for the current stable release. People keep coming back reporting that e.g. Lightning stopped working on trunk, Aurora or Beta. But since it contains binary components, Lightning easily breaks if you don’t retrieve the matching install file yourself.
    • [InvisibleSmiley] AMO currently has a Lightning version compatible with SM Beta (1.0rc2)

We should also add some information on this to the release notes of future betas.

2.x (Last, Current, Next)

2.x Follow-ups and Issues

Moved to a separate page.

2.4

open tracking (0)
tracking requests (0)
targeted (0)
fixed (26)

  • The New 2.4 Features page has a comprehensive list of features.
  • 2.4.x had ~64500 ADU yesterday and 2.4.1 has had ~217,100 downloads so far.
    • vs. 5644 on 2.3, 3792 on 2.2, 1247 on 2.1 and 18788 on 2.0. So, in the last two weeks, ~?k have migrated to 2.3 and above.

2.Next

  • Please make sure that anything that landed on comm-beta (for TB) or mozilla-beta (for FF) which affected non-shared code and which fixed regressions will be fixed on our side, too. Please mark bugs we feel *need* to land on a particular train tracking+ or tracking? so that when we to do a release we can be sure that we don’t miss anything.
    • Priority should be given to fixing regressions ASAP. Also keep an eye on and prioritize bugs to be ported from FF/TB that land on branches (Aurora, Beta). We need to keep an eye especially on Session Restore, Sync, Tabbrowser and Address Book.
    • Be careful not to break code shared with Thunderbird, otherwise patches might have to be backed out of string frozen repositories.
  • Remember to help update the New 2.5 Features page as we go along.

Feature List, Planning

Bug statistics for last two (full) weeks: 36 new, 12 fixed, 102 triaged.

  • Very good triage effort during the Seamonkey Halloween Bug Event.
  • Good further triage targets could come out of looking at the component bug counts, pick yours!

Open reviews/flags:
32 review
14 super-review
0 ui-review
7 feedback

Major wanted/needed features:

Active

  • bug 606683 Allow customization of toolbar in Composer and MailNews Composition [IanN].
    • Progressing slowly, still waiting on reviews from TB side. Full customization has to go to 2.next (currently 2.6 but could be pushed back further) as it needs work on TB too which is taking a while to get reviews on, plus feedback from kaze.
    • IanN will need to poke some people about reviews not happening quickly enough.
    • There is still a patch that needs checking in but both the patches there are for SM (even though it is a TB bug :P).
    • IanN is still wading through the unpicking of Composer/Mail Compose code in the dependent bugs. After that he will be reworking his customising patches.
  • de-RDF bug 654864 has been finished and landed on all development branches, including 2.3. Still to do:
    • Neil wanted to follow up on some listener issues. This is being addressed in {{bug|669203}.
    • for the selection issue, see what the TB guys come up with in bug 669203.
  • bug 477845 Build a standalone (Comm-central) Composer. [kaze]
    • kaze has done a bit of work in this bug recently. Building on Windows works. Now supports debug builds on Linux if tests are disabled (–disable-tests). Still a lot to do.
    • IanN was supposed to help get builds working with --enable-tests.
      • Will look into this once he gets his customization patches reworked.

Needing help, Unowned, Stalled

  • Kill-RDF:
    • bug 657607 Port jminta’s kill-rdf to SeaMonkey where applicable Part 2 [meta].
    • bug 657604 Remove the RDF global object. [serge]
  • bug 436794 Enable Mac OS X system address book per default and add UI.
    • SM UI needed, unowned, helpwanted.
  • bug 449728 Drag tabs between windows.
  • bug 477840 Backport KompoZer to Composer (Depends on bug 477845).
    • kaze has done a ton of work there. We still need to work out some organizational issues. At the moment there is no active interest from MoMo for bringing standalone composer into comm-central. That’s something we (KaiRo and kaze) will have to negotiate with the Thunderbird team (Standard8).
  • bug 507841 Port Bug 422814 – Make account configuration quick, easy, and more secure (autoconfig, Quick Account Setup).
  • bug 533908 SeaMonkey Mail: tabs not restored [misak].
  • bug 523274 Complete new default theme icon set.
  • bug 526210 Update the icon set for the SeaMonkey Modern Theme.
    • bug 548778 New communicator icons (based on Strata theme) for SeaMonkey. Some proposed icons got posted, we should take a look how to get that contribution into the product.
    • The rest is unowned so far.
  • bug 87098 [SeaMonkey] Delete key should delete location bar history list entry.
    • Note: Our location bar history doesn’t and can’t use autocomplete at all.
  • bug 677484 Individual SeaMonkey components are not properly handled by the Windows 7 taskbar.
  • bug 654009 Reply to list: automatically determine From: address
    • Note: The actual task here is to port bug 45715 “Reply to List” [button/(context) menu item]
  • bug 664309 Make the built-in ChatZilla display a cZ icon in SeaMonkey (now helpwanted)

KaiRo

  • Followed all the news on the main SeaMonkey VM host going down (bug 695278), helped Callek slightly with getting the SeaMonkey buildmaster up and running everything again after Mozilla IT got that one up (mainly did some debugging and fixing on clobberer).
  • Also updated the community update server to current AUS2 trunk code so we can handle extended snippet data in the future.
  • I did some more work on my themes and finally uploaded 2.4 versions of both EarlyBlue and LCARStrek which are awaiting reviews now.
  • Put some more work into cleanups of my Mandelbrot add-on and implemented a “Back” function in the Location menu. With that, I uploaded it as the final 4.0 version, it’s now waiting for reviews.
  • I updated German L10n of DOM Inspector to current trunk, as well as dom/ and suite/ localizations on -central.
  • As usual, my blog has more detailed status about my activities, and Mozilla Status Board Posts also tell about my next planned steps – both including my non-SeaMonkey Mozilla work as well.

stefanh

tonymec

  • Organized and ran a very successful SeaMonkey Halloween Bug Event (like a testday) on #bugday on the 30th of October.
    • Special thanks to Px and Mnyromyr for lots of bug triaging during the bug event.
  • TODO:
    • Finish publishing the bug event stats.
    • Announce them on NG, Members’ list, etc., once they’re finished.

Any other business?

  • Need to review project areas
    • IanN has put out a final draft of the project areas list, and will then confirm that anyone who is not in the loop already has been consulted.
  • Extended Support Releases (ESR)
    • At the moment looks like that will be based off either Gecko 8 or 9 so potentially that will be either 2.5 or 2.6 for us. Assuming we have the machines, we will also have an ESR which might help move some of those still on 2.0 up to 2.5/2.6.
    • Our ESR should use the same branch as Firefox ESR so any Security and Stability “extended” fixes for Gecko will be picked up by the SeaMonkey ESR.
    • A ESR (Extended Security Release) may not be a given for us out of the gate. Callek thinks we should revisit that, separately, once it is clearer both what Gecko it will be based on, and what MoCo’s general plans for their marketing/target/ support-levels etc are.
  • Geolocation.
    • We can probably start working on this. Callek hasn’t verified all the minutia there yet, but if someone wants to begin work, he can devote slightly more of his time to it.
    • Geolocation now works out of the box. MoCo turned it on by default for all applications that build off mozilla-central. For comm-beta all we need to do is to add pref("geo.wifi.uri", "https://www.google.com/loc/json"); to browser-prefs.js.
  • The Halloween Bug Event happened at the end of last week.
    • tonymec will be producing some stats from the event.
  • Who is going to MozCamp Europe 2011? (sgautherie, KaiRo, mcsmurf, Mnyromyr and stefanh)
    • Anything planned w.r.t. SeaMonkey?
  • Who is going to MozCamp Asia 2011? (Ratty).
    • Nothing planned w.r.t. SeaMonkey, but Ratty might give a lightning talk.
