Status of the SeaMonkey Buildbot Master and Tree

  • All our machines are now all out of SJC1 are are now at SCL3 or SCL1
    • The R4 Macs are plugged-in, connected and base-imaged. Waiting on Callek to complete the setup.
    • cb-seamonkey-linux-01 has been de-commissioned with extreme prejudice.
    • The Linux32 VMs are all up.
    • 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.
  • Build on MSVC2010 (ewong and Callek).
    • Trunk builds and all branches except release are now MSVC2010.
  • Build SeaMonkey using clang bug 775539. In progress (stalled on the possibility that we’ll need to upgrade our OSX boxes to XCode 4.1… waiting for confirmation.)
    • bug 776426 Set up ccache on all MacOSX systems. Waiting for review. CCCACHE is installed on the MacOSX systems but needs setting up.
    • bug 776428 Port |Bug 755145 – Define CCACHE_CP2 when using ccache and Clang| to SeaMonkey. [Fixed]
    • bug 776523 Add ac_add_options --enable-ccache to build/macosx/common [Fixed].
    • Find an interim solution for hosting tooltool binaries pending bug 768879 Have a world readable tooltool repository. [Found]
  • L10n Update: (2012-08-07):
    • L10n buildbots are building again on all three platforms for be, de, en-GB, es-AR, gl, hu, it, lt, nl, ru, sk, uk, zh-CN and zh-TW.
    • All green on beta for cs, es-ES, fr, nb-NO, pl, pt-PT and sv-SE, so repacks are sucessful. There were no issues with beta 1. Callek will confirm later this week.
    • bug 780557 Old language files packed with Hungarian version of SeaMonkey 2.11. This is because no-one on the hu locale team signed off on a newer revision. [Fixed]

Release Train

  • 2.12b4 shipped August 11
  • 2.12b5 shipped August 18
  • 2.12b6 shipped August 24
  • 2.12 shipped August 28
  • 2.13b1 shipped September 1

Extensions Compatibility Tracking

  • See Basics page. Please only list current changes here.
  • Addon Compatibility Listings
    • Nothing to highlight.
  • We’ve had reports of some extensions shipped by default (among them CZ) not being compatible with SM 2.12. InvisibleSmiley guesses we missed to version bump them so people with compatible-by-default pref’ed off run into issues now.
    • Potentially added to Release Train notes to bump the versions on the extensions we ship as standard?
  • 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.

2.x (Last, Current, Next)

  • 2.11 had ~84,900 ADU by last Tuesday and ~170,500 downloads so far.
    • Of the released versions, as of last Tuesday, we have 11.3% on 2.0, 3.5% on 2.1-2.3, 4.8% on 2.4-2.6, 2.0% on 2.7, 2.5% on 2.8, 4.2% on 2.9, 4.2% on 2.10 and 67.5% on 2.11. So, in the last four weeks, ~1k (an additional 0.9% of ADU) have migrated to 2.7 or above.
    • ADUs have started to grow again after the summer dip. Still not back up to June levels yet.
    • 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 need to create a new page for latest builds available for “Legacy Platforms” e.g. PPC containing links to 2.6.1 PowerPC/G4 and also perhaps to seamonkey-ppc (2.10 and 2.11b3 for OSX 10.5.8) TenFourFox and Tenfourbird. We can then link to that from our main release page. See bug 759315.
      • Done: InvisibleSmiley finished and linked the page from the Releases page after positive feedback from IanN.
      • 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.
  • See Basics page for the usual reminders.

2.12

open tracking (0)
tracking requests (7)
targeted (3)
fixed (12)

  • 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 and the ka l10n maintainers have not yet updated for changes in later SeaMonkey versions.
    • The plan was that Callek needs to morph bug 667147 into removing |ka| from our [current] automation entirely (all-locales), and will look at the best locale to transition any ka users to.
    • The ka owner came back with a bundle of l10n changes to get checked in. Callek to look into doing that, and try to identify if ka will be sustained going forward before completely abandoning. [Needs update from Callek]
  • 2.12.1 We might have a possible 2.12.1 on the horizon partly depending on what TB and FX do.

Ricardo

sgautherie

  • Fixed SeaMonkey (related) bugs:
    • bug 780814 Port |Bug 740997 – ICS camera support| to SeaMonkey
  • Fixed MailNews Core bugs:
    • bug 780976 linux external api builds broken (hidden symbol `MOZ_Z_inflate’ isn’t defined) since bug 763651

Stanimir

stefanh

Fixed:

  • bug 783554 Make Mac OS X 10.6 the minimum system version.

Working on:

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

tonymec

  • FIXED
    • bug 768015 Override Toolkit and increase image.mem.max_decoded_image_kb to 250MB.
  • The following have been ported to branches (aurora, beta before repository merge, and are fixed in 2.12 release) by someone who has checkin privileges:
  • QA, business as usual (including one unhappy event about bug 747186 🙁 ).

Any other business?

  • Bug Day:
    • Useful link: [1].
    • Tonymec confirmes that this is scheduled for the weekend before the fall equinox (21-22-23 September). An announcement has been made (shortly after the last meeting). A repeat announcement will be done closer to the event.
  • Geolocation
    • 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 (bug 494421) to add pref("geo.wifi.uri", "https://www.google.com/loc/json"); to browser-prefs.js. However we’re not even sure we are legally allowed to ship with the URL in, we might need to actually put in a pref to disable that in newer builds.
    • No news to date. Callek will have to reach out to his MoCo legal contact again soonish.
  • 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.
    • Serge to do a write up and send it to Ratty to propagate to the community.
      • Ratty is ***still*** waiting for Serge.
  • MozCampEU2012
    • Tonymec, InvisibleSmiley, and Stefanh have received invitations but can’t go.
    • IanN and sgautherie are going.

We still have two items that need to be uplifted to Fx16. A security fix for Reader (bug 778582) and Feedback Solicitation (bug 774479).

WebApps Update

4 star 17,461 (+576, 22% of Growth)

Trending Topics/Issues in Rating Comments:

  • UI Complaints
  • Text Input
  • Text Looks Jagged

Observations:
Crashing (a concern with this update) isn’t being mentioned at all in the comments. we will see how this plays out over the next few days. There seems to be an issue with text input (words being duplicated, etc.)

We also have a smaller issue that is text appearing jagged in 15. Haven’t narrowed this down any, will be keeping an eye on it over the next 2-3 days.

Good Points:
The users love this release! It fixes nearly all of our main complaints from Firefox 14, plus improves startup speed significantly according to some users. Ratings are up dramatically in the past 48 hours as well.
