SeaMonkey: 2016-04-12

Filed under: Posts — Tags: — Jesper Kristensen @ 11:00 pm

Agenda

  • Who’s taking minutes? -> TBD
  • Nominees for Friends of the Fish Tank:
    • TBD

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

  • Google api key for Safe Browsing. Ewong/Callek about getting it loaded onto the build machines.
    • Mcsmurf will generate an updated key and pass it to Ewong who will then upload it to our build machines.
  • IanN to review members mailing-list and council appointments (IanN to talk to mcsmurf about members list)
    • TODO: Add Adrian Kalla to RelEng team.

CLOSED

Status of the SeaMonkey Buildbot Master and Tree

Previously on Buffy The Vampire Slayer:

  • Followup to discussion in previous meeting notes
  • Adriank thinks we need an *own* build infra separate from MoCo. What is needed is buildbot (Adrian uses Jenkins), a Windows, Linux, and OSX virtual machine.
  • Ewong and Ratty discussed setting up an instance of Treeherder on our own hardware but couldn’t decide how to have a secure connection to our builders on MoCo’s infrastructure.
    • [Ratty thinks that] We could rent some colo Mac Mini servers, startup some OSX VMs one of which could run treeherder and a buildbot master. This way we could get some up to date coverage on OSX builds.
    • e.g. Macminicolo
  • Chatzilla locale generation: Frg investigating why the L10n xpi isn’t being added into the installer.

Routine reports:

  • Notes:
    • Callek: Regarding the windows systems, sadly no progress yet. I’m hopeful we can get done sooner than later, I’m realistic expecting it won’t be until January at earliest any time soon.
    • Ewong will set up a cron job to do semi regular builds on the loaner machine.
    • Windows nightly trunk builds are unavailable due to various bugs such as bug 1092468 and bug 1108970. Migrating our Windows builders to Win2008 and our compiler toolchain to VS2013 VS2015 would likely solve this and other bustages. frg 03/27: moot point to do it. m-c switched to VS2015 via tooltool on 03/25. See my section.
    • There are also some upcoming changes to L10n build system in Q1 2015 (bug 1107635).
    • Even en-US builds have stopped again. The latest trunk nightlies were 2.45a1 dated 8-Mar-2016 for W32, L32 & L64, and 2.43a1 dated 6-Jan-2016 for Mac. ** bug 1083689 Langpacks aren’t updated when auto-updating SeaMonkey because they aren’t uploaded to AMO. The solution requires changes in SeaMonkey RelEng (and possibly AMO).
    • wrt bug 1155011, we already have a Soccoro token. The patches on bug 1155013 require approval and then pushed and the work-around patches backed out.
  • [12th April 2016]
    • [*All Trees*]
      • Aside for the following specific tree bustages, we are generally busted for all trees due to the fact that our rsa ssh key needs to be changed (currently waiting), so uploading to archive.mo is busted (due to our old key being revoked/removed). Callek is working on this.
    • [comm-central]
    • [comm-aurora, comm-beta]
  • See RelEng page for the RelEng status history.

Release Train

  • SeaMonkey 2.40 is out.
  • We are skipping SeaMonkey 2.41 and 2.42 and going directly to 2.43 betas.
  • Backup plan in case we need it is to do some releases off comm-esr45. These will be 2.42.x releases.
    • [frg] I used 2.42 too since Beta 1. It is stable as 2.43, I backported Data Manager and a few other fixed bugs like Safe Browsing.
    • Need to check how to port L10n changes from SeaMonkey 2.43 to comm-esr. bug 1240738 tracks l10n changes that need uplifting to 2.42.x in case we build from 45.x ESR.
  • Next merges are now scheduled for April 25 (beta → release: April 18).
    • comm-release default is moving to SM 2.43.
    • comm-release and mozilla-release will be on 46.0.
    • comm-esr45 and mozilla-esr45 are current in preparation of TB 45.0/.1 release.
  • Useful Firefox Release Schedule link: Releases Scheduling

Extensions and Plugins Compatibility Tracking

  • See Basics page. Please only list current changes here.
  • Addon Compatibility Listings (outdated), altertative list started (currently Rainer Bielefeld is the only active maintainer)
  • Lightning betas are up for 2.42 (4.7b3), but not yet for 2.43 (4.8b1).
  • We are looking for a new place to host the Addon Compatibility Listings for the Add-on Converter in order to make it easy to maintain and to serve as the main database for the AMO browsing extension in the future. The details are in this post.
  • Firefox & Thunderbird Add-on Converter for SeaMonkey http://addonconverter.fotokraina.com/
    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.
    • Lemon Juice continues to improve his already impressive Addon Converter. The source is now available on GitHub [1].
    • looking for a better(?) home for extension-converter pages, along with a way to track successful and conversion-failed add-ons, and respective integration into SeaMonkey by add-on or manager overlay [2], bug 1145026.
    • Rainer Bielefeld will no longer update the list of Firefox addons that have been successfully converted by the Addon Converter. — Rrbd (talk) 09:59, 16 August 2015 (PDT)
    • Ratty filed bug 1130390 to add a link on seamonkey-projects.org to the Firefox & Thunderbird Add-on Converter for SeaMonkey.
    • The AMO Browsing for SeaMonkey extension, which makes AMO pages a lot more SeaMonkey-friendly, seems mature. (It had 9 successive revisions between 27 September and 3 October, and no change since then.) It was developed by LemonJuice (of Add-on Converter fame), and Tonymec, who tested it and now uses it, supports it enthusiastically. The author proposes to add it as a “built-in extension” besides ChatZilla, DOMi and the like. What do you think? (See also Bug 1145026: AMO Add-On-Descriptions: Add link function leading to SeaMonkey add-on-converter and filling URL input pane; the extension actually does much more than the bug’s Summary implies: for instance it gets rid of the stupid “You need Firefox 10 or later” popups.
  • The Thunderbird team is currently shipping Lightning with Thunderbird. IanN is working on shipping Lightning with SeaMonkey. Related bugs:
    • bug 516026 Integrate Lightning Into SeaMonkey by Default and Ship SeaMonkey with Lightning Enabled
    • bug 1130854 Package Lightning with Thunderbird for c-c and c-a builds.
    • bug 1113183 Integrate Lightning Into Thunderbird by Default.
    • bug 1130852 Add opt-in dialog to promote Calendar integration [Thunderbird].

2.Next

  • We need someone to work on porting sync 2.0 over to replace legacy sync code. See: New Firefox Sync has landed in Firefox Nightly. Tracked in:
    • bug 998807 Sync account creation or device pairing fails with exception in BrowserIDManager.
    • bug 1003434 Add support for about:sync-progress.
  • Stalled. Needs a kick.
    • bug 815954 Click-to-Play: Port bug 812562 (click-to-play blocklisted plugins: reshow urlbar notification as with normal click-to-play).
    • bug 476108 GetShortPathNameW fails under some NTFS junctions [patchlove].
  • Current breakages (have patches need review and check-in):
    • bug 1259928 “View Selection Source” throws TypeError: args is null Source File: chrome://global/content/viewPartialSource.js.
    • bug 1261685 All Bookmarks functionality broken due to Toolkit Bug 1257599 which renamed ‘Unsorted Bookmarks’ into ‘Other Bookmarks’
  • Mozilla-central bugs that affect us:
    • Introduction of a cloud-based certificate revocation list system for blocklists bug 1227956. Fixed by rsx11m in bug 1259947).
    • Changes to Safe Browsing. Frg has a patch ready for check-in in bug 1250600 .
    • Firefox has changed the styles of several Toolkit pages to their “in-content” designs which however look very out of place in our current classic and modern themes.
      • already affected: config.xul for about:config, Will be fixed in SeaMonkey bug 1222816.
      • Toolkit meta bug for about:* pages: bug 1097111 – SeaMonkey tracking in bug 1133743.
      • Modern may need updating as IDs are changing, Default needs forking if we want to roll back to previous styles
      • Ratty restored about:privatebrowsing UI to before it was messed up by Project Chameleon styles [bug 1192276]. Subsequent to Chameleon, Firefox developers have again redesigned the about:privatebrowsing UI to include UI for tracking protection. We should look into picking any changes we like.
      • affected pages that should be reverted are about:config [bug 1222816], about:addons [bug 1222817], about:support [bug 1222818] (look ok in Modern but hurt in the Default theme).
    • A lot of these bugs are due to mozilla-central switching from synchronous APIs to Asynchronous APIs.
    • bug 566746 (asyncFormHistory) Form history should use asynchronous storage API. Tracked in:
      • bug 912031 Use Asynchronous FormHistory.jsm in place of nsIFormHistory2 in Suite. Currently being worked on by IanN.
    • The C++ downloads manager backend nsIDownloadManager is being decommissioned. Firefox and Thunderbird have migrated to jsdownloads.
    • bug 825588 Asynchronous JavaScript API for downloads and bug 851471 Decommission nsIDownloadManager. Tracked in:
      • bug 888915 Move SeaMonkey to the new JavaScript API for downloads when nsIDownloadManager is decommissioned. Neil has a WIP patch on hand.
    • We’ve picked up he default for security.tls.version.min from Mozilla Core, but security.tls.version.fallback-limit is new. So we need to consider adding the latter to our preferences UI (bug 1123673).
      • Currently unclear whether or not this should be done after bug 1084025 disable insecure TLS version fallback entirely by default [3]
      • alternative proposal is to make whitelist for acceptable fallback sites available in the UI, which seems to make more sense.
  • bug 1198340 The carousel within Add-On Manager can be used for SeaMonkey specific content. TO DO: Find out what sort of format AMO needs for the carousel. Get our webdev person to create necessary content. Submit content for upload to AMO.
    • Unfortunately nobody knows exactly how addons.mozilla.works because there’s no full time developer working on AMO. Ratty was given bug 1009759 as an example. So now we need someone who knows python+django.
    • About specific aspects of this problem, see: bug 1230796, bug 1230804, bug 1230806 and maybe more.
    • [Ratty] The url for the discovery pane is set in a pref. Instantbird points the URL to a chrome XUL document. If we do this we don’t have to worry about the python stuff.

Feature List, Planning

Bug statistics for the last two (full) weeks: 19 new, 21 fixed, 20 triaged.

  • good triaging effort, below-average number of new bugs files.

Open reviews/flags:
65 review
5 super-review
1 ui-review
12 feedback

  • See Feature List page for major wanted/needed features.
  • TODO:
    • The toolkit help viewer is going away. Neil is working on resuscitating the old XPFE help viewer which apparently has more features.
      • Toolkit Help Viewer bugs will be moved to the SeaMonkey product. This is tracked inbug 1243203.
      • Neil is AFK for the forseeable future so we need to plan to import the Help Viewer code to comm-central if they remove it before Neil can come around to fix things.
    • Remove debugQA from Seamonkey or overhaul it removing obsolete items. See discussion in bug 1258226
    • Encrypted Media Extensions / Digital Rights Management
      • bug 1127784 added a preference and UI to enable/disable playback of Encrypted Media Extensions, with UI seen in non-release builds only
      • more work appears to be needed to download necessary 3rd-party Content Decryption Modules, some UI can probably be ported from Firefox
  • Mozilla wants to Move Thunderbird off MoCo infrastructure and onto their own, which will likely affect SeaMonkey as well
  • Fundamental core features Firefox/Mozilla plans to remove:
    • bug 1222546 Product plan: remove support for heavyweight themes
      • If effective for all Toolkit applications, would render most 3rd-party themes defunct.
      • No sufficiently plausible specifics provided ‘why’ full themes ‘must’ no longer be supported.
      • No clear statements by the Firefox drivers, bug has been restricted for comments since.
      • Discussion diverted to https://discourse.mozilla-community.org/t/planning-the-future-of-complete-themes/
      • See bsmedberg’s post #14, targeted for Gecko 49 (April 2016).
      • May prohibit Modern theme being shipped with or installed in SeaMonkey.
      • Removal is “decided” without any clear alternative envisioned.
  • What about declaring linux-x86_64 builds found at seamonkey-project.org and at ftp.m.o as “official” ?Tonymec (talk) 13:56, 7 October 2015 (PDT)
    • On October 7 two people asked in #seamonkey at a few minutes’ interval when there would be “official” 64-bit SM builds for Linux. I pointed them to the x86_64 release at the bottom of the “Other languages” release page for 2.38 and to the x86_64 2.40a2 aurora & 2.41a1 trunk builds at the bottom of the ftp.m.o nightly/latest-comm-* pages but they said these were not “official”.
    • How are we going to get out of the following vicious circle? 64-bit builds are not “official” because too few users, and users don’t install them (some even prefer compiling their own) because they aren’t “official”.
    • Maybe change the online documentation? (perhaps as part of bug 1208822 “System Requirements page needs update”?)
    • [ewong:] what’s the prerequisites of making the Linux64 builds ‘official’ aside for the issue of getting the tests done for Linux64; but our testing infrastructure is busted. bug 1209378

Roundtable – Personal Status Updates

Neil has a new job and doesn’t have any time to devote to SeaMonkey. Please re-direct review requests to Ratty or IanN who will redirect elsewhere if needed.

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).

ewong

  • Working on:
    • bug 1190773 – Tooltool revamp
    • a lot of other firefights, but currently blocked on the need to have the ssh key updated.

frg

I might not be able to attend. 50/50 chance.

Waiting for review / branch check in or feedback:

  • bug 1055954 popup exceptions are not added. Please review and let me know if it’s ok. Contains string changes. Would be great if this could be checked in in this cycle. Like the Data Manager changes contains string changes and so will/might affect third party themes.
  • bug 1188348 data manager: domains invisible for Permissions, Preferences, Passwords. Checked into c-c. Any chance it can go into c-a despite the string changes?
  • bug 1251368 SeaMonkey cookie code needs to be updated to take into account mozilla-central bug 1245184. Might work without checking bug 1188348 in first but not tested. 2.44 and up affected. Checked into c-c.
  • bug 1223741 Updating to 2.39B allow images not working.

Working on:

  • bug 1258226 Remove debugQA from SeaMonkey. Input please if this should be up for reviewed if we should keep debugQA in it’s current state. A little on the back burner but not forgotten
  • bug 1238767 Localized Suite build fails in DebugQA: Stalled. I think the l10 build system might be responsible and tries to pick up files from the wrong location. Adrian Kalla thinks I need to do an l10 merge only. I disagree because the xpi only explicitly supports en-US builds.
  • bug 1223741 Already working on Data Manager changes to allow chrome, files and other schemes to not cause errors.
  • bug 1263252 Update SeaMonkey cookie code for mozilla-central Bug 1259169 [nsICookieManager::remove() should be back-compatible. Ready for review but mozilla bug backed out for now.

Titbits:

  • bug 1210791 Get rid of XULPPFLAGS in ChatZilla was checked in. SEA2_42_RELBRANCH needs a new tag to the current default changeset so that the l10n xpi might be generated.
  • Will try to work on Sync next as promised.

Other things on my mind:

  • –enable-optimize=-O2 should be used for Windows release builds. Linux gcc –enable-optimize optimizes for speed. With VS2013/VS2015 it optimizes for size. Resulting O2 Windows build feels a lot snappier.
  • SeaMonkey compiles fine with VS2015 Update 2 with Windows 10 SDK 10.0.10586.15 and mozbuild 2.2.0. x86 builds produced still work fine under Windows XP SP3. x64 build is stable for daily use in my eyes (same with VS2013). The VS2015 upgrade installer is a piece of… Full ISO is available here: http://download.microsoft.com/download/f/d/c/fdce5d40-87d3-4bd6-9139-2a7638b96174/vs2015.2.com_enu.iso
  • VS2015 c-b and c-a builds broken by bug 1256541. Will likely not be fixed but easy workaround for local builds available.
  • bug 1244467 Localized Builds: ChatZilla language pack missing from SeaMonkey installer package will not be fixed by bug 1210791. mozmake installer under Windows includes the l10n xpi in local builds.
  • Aero Peek is broken in c-b and up see bug 1256714. Quick fix in the bug but not complete. Further porting and a bugfix for sites with different zoom levels needed. If no one takes it until I find some time I will try to fix it.
  • When looking in Bugzilla what to do next I found a lot of in my eyes obsolete bugs in a short time. Who can close them. Tracking them in a meta bug? A little on the backburner too but also not forgotten.
Comment from 03/29: I am working on this problem. We have lots of UNCONFIRMED Bugs, many of them old /obsolete. But in my systematic review (may be 3 … 5 each week) I find (approximately) 25% of these old bugs real bugs, half of them Core half of them really SeaMonkey bugs. With this speed review still will take 2 more years or so, but I think it’s better than a mass-close. — Rrbd (talk) 10:53, 29 March 2016 (PDT)

Some more precise statistics here in the unofficial blog. — Rrbd (talk) 22:31, 29 March 2016 (PDT)

Rainer Bielefeld

I will not participate.

currently working on
  • DMOZ SeaMonkey related entries:
    • Review with low priority, including trying to get contact to site owners of listed web pages
  • Trying to help to repair problems with Add-ON Browsing for SeaMonkey caused by new AMO design:
  • QA, Bug confirming and so on as usual
You might want to discuss
  • SeaMonkey Project homepage maintenance
Performance currently needs improvement, contents of Page System Requirements (for example, see bug 1208822 – SeaMonkey System Requirements need update) is mortifying outdated. Due to Wiki Component Web pages has 2 peers: Justin Wood (:Callek) and Robert Kaiser (:KaiRo). But the peers are inactive, as this Bugzilla query shows that Jens Hatklak is the only active maintainer. That should be reflected in wiki and on Project Page, inactive peers should be removed. And there should be a strategy how to do the job with the available manpower: recruit volunteers and find a way how they can create drafts which can be integrated easily into the home page easily.

Ratty

Fixed:

  • bug 1223341 Add the Firefox Devtools to the SeaMonkey UI.
  • bug 1258955 Only small bottom area of DuckDuckGo logo icon shown in Search Sidebar and “Customize Toolbars”.
  • bug 1263262 Do not hide the menubar in the View Partial Source window [Toolkit].

Waiting for review:

  • bug 1222816 Restore about:config UI (Config Editor) to old appearance by overriding Toolkit’s Project Chameleon styles.
  • bug 1259928 “View Selection Source” throws TypeError: args is null Source File: chrome://global/content/viewPartialSource.js.
  • bug 1261685 All Bookmarks functionality broken due to Toolkit bug 1257599 which renamed ‘Unsorted Bookmarks’ into ‘Other Bookmarks’.

In Progress:

  • None

TODO:

  • bug 1236982 Simplify SeaMonkey CSS for Lightning toolbar buttons.
  • bug 1174466 Popup blocker: Need to allow popups opened by loaded javascript: URIs from the location bar. Regression from bug 896947.

Schedule Update

  • Best to push the schedule back for 46. beta->release merge, Apr 18 Merge: Apr 25 Release: Apr 26
    • We missed nearly 3 betas (with beta 1 only being for en-US). Beta 3, beta 6 skipped, beta 7 late (released yesterday)
    • Firefox 47 still planned to release on June 7.
  • The schedule allowed for a 7 week cycle between 46 and 47 release. Changing that to 6 weeks for 47.
  • This helps l10n as well for 46 (delayed by the infrastructure issues last week)
  • more time to iron out any issues with build promotion
  • more time to land crash fixes and react to beta 7/8 changes
  • Better crash data with e10s disabled (experiment cut-off didn’t land till beta 8)
  • If we delay 46, we will do a 45.0.2 (probably tomorrow)
    • Discussed about cancelling it because only 2 weeks away from the release but as we are delaying 46 …
    • A top crash
    • Some web compat issues
    • No single drivers but all combined…
    Bug 1254980 -       Copy-pasting selected HTML from Firefox to a new Thunderbird message (using TB 38) or to BlueGriffon is broken as of Firefox 45
    Bug 1257861 -       Firefox 45 fails to send Cookie header with XHR post requests done from a web worker when third-party cookies are blocked
    Bug 1260961 -       Legitimate CORS requests are blocked by Firefox 45.0.1
    Bug 1258562 -       Crash in dom::MediaSource::Duration - top crash
    Bug 1256442 -       Ship 1.1.x of the Loop system add-on to the release population
    Bug 1258650 -       Yahoo finance chart comparison "overlays" not displayed properly because of bad interaction with scaled clip and mask combo
    Bug 1259482 -       Product image not changing upon selection in Woocommerce/Wordpress

Stability

Aurora

Overall rate: 2.5 – browser: 1.0, content: 1.5 – red

  • signatures of bug 1259699 are the top 3, fix uplifted yesterday

Beta

Overall rate: 1.3 – browser: 1.1, content: 0.2 – red. Not worse than beta 5, anyway (these numbers are still mostly about b5 and earlier)

  • Looks like e10s is still on for a significant amount of people, is there still an ongoing experiment? Yes, it turns off in beta 8
  • bug 1246108 (wasapi_stream_start) is fixed in b7
  • AsyncShutdown crashes are 1.9% of early b7 data
  • bug 1189715 (gfxContext::gfxContext, #6 top crash in b7, 1.4%) still happening in beta 8 although we though we had a fix in bug 1259810

Release

Overall rate: 1.0 – yellow

  • Trusteer crash bug 1255026 definitely decreasing on Windows, but the OS X signature continues to be high #16 or so on release? How bad is bad?
  • Flash game crash bug 1252152 has decreased noticeably last week

QE

Beta

  • 1262149 – Firefox users with OS X 10.11 and QuickTime 7.7.3 cannot playback video content requiring this video player and are prompted to use Safari instead. (all branches – not just beta)
  • I noticed with OS X 10.11, each time I restart (or maybe reboot) I am prompted to make Safari my default browser now (or later) There is no option to say “never ask me again”.

Roundtable

inquiry from sumo: will we go ahead with the plan to deprecate support for os x 10.6-10.8 and migrate those users to esr 45.1.0 instead of 46?
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1255589

Followup on thread about stub install alerting: who is the first line on-call for release issues?

  • liz to ask catlee and lawrence about this. relman, or releng?

Tracked bugs with no owners! Let’s triage on Tuesday since these can potentially block release.

    • nobody has a clue about what to do with this, leaning toward shipping 38.7.0 with not fix. (wsmwk) agree, ship without fixing it
  • Problems updating to 38.6 to do with Lightning bug 1249894 and its five duplicates. Two users attached their extensions folder.
    • Isn’t this the same as the one above, bug 1211291?

  • Awaiting review:

wsmwk

  • I have a huge project to convert ExQuilla to JS (prototype for a possible similar conversion for Thunderbird) that will take the majority of my time for the next six months.

Question Time

rkent, there is no 64-bit version of TB 45 for Windows. It seems only 46+ but the next public will be 52. 🙁 Is there a possibility of compiling 45 in 64-bit?

  • Someone needs to work on the release engineering to figure out to enable those builds.

Help Wanted

  • Accessibility lead
  • Person comfortable (not necessarily technical experts) with Core type issues. Example, graphics to guide bug 1195947 Thunderbird hardware acceleration (HWA) issues to be resolved
  • Lead to run the donation campaign after TB 45 is released.

Stability

Aurora

crash rate: 2.7 (red) – browser 1.3, content 1.39
big spike in the last few days

Spikes:

  • signatures: _chkstk, UnmarkGrayTracer::onChild, js::ObjectGroup::traceChildren, JS::CallbackTracer::onShapeEdge
    • _chkstk: crashes rose from 0 (2016-03-26) to 248 (2016-03-28)
    • for the others: crashes were at 0 (2016-03-25) and rose to respectively 248, 99, 54 (2016-03-28)
    • the crash reason is always EXCEPTION_STACK_OVERFLOW
    • in all the cases, the backtrace is useless (reduced to one element)
    • https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1259699 has been fixed (in Nightly) and we should have better information (signature or backtrace) to fix these issues
      • If the fix is helping, will request uplift to Aurora

Topcrash

Beta

crash rate: 1.33 (red) – browser 1.17 , content 0.16

Topcrashes in beta 5

  • Bug 1246108 – Core::Audio/Video:Playback Drained AudioStreams should not be restarted (kinetik) This should land with beta 6
  • Bug 1158189 – Core::Networking:HTTP shutdownhang in mozilla::net::nsHttpConnectionMgr::Shutdown()
    • Bug 1259089 – Set a socket nonblocking in sts, just to be sure (dragana) (no fix yet)
  • Bug 1255737 – Async shutdown crash with “MediaStreamGraph shutdown: blocking on msg thread”
    • backed out MediaStreamgraph changes. May need help with Places crashes still.

Spikes:

  • bug 1158189: rose from 0 (2016-03-24) to 472 (2016-03-28) Shutdown hangs mentioned above in Core::Networking

Release

crash rate: 1.16 (red)

trusteer rapport crashes still in high numbers (responsible for ~6% of all crashes on 45.0.1) – bug 1255026

Spikes:

  • bug 1132499 – signature NS_ConvertUTF8toUTF16::NS_ConvertUTF8toUTF16, increase around 50% (from 144 to 201) between 2016-03-23 and 2016-03-28, the bug has been fixed 24 days ago
    • not uplifted to Beta46

Topcrashes

  • bug 1259387 – signature js::AutoEnterOOMUnsafeRegion::crash | js::GCHashSetOperations<T>::lookupForAdd, appeared 2016-03-24, right now it’s #37 in topcrash

Status of the SeaMonkey Buildbot Master and Tree

  • Notes:
    • Callek: Regarding the windows systems, sadly no progress yet. I’m hopeful we can get done sooner than later, I’m realistic expecting it won’t be until January at earliest any time soon.
    • Ewong will set up a cron job to do semi regular builds on the loaner machine.
    • Windows nightly trunk builds are unavailable due to various bugs such as bug 1092468 and bug 1108970. Migrating our Windows builders to Win2008 and our compiler toolchain to VS2013 VS2015 would likely solve this and other bustages. frg 03/27: moot point to do it. m-c switched to VS2015 via tooltool on 03/25. See my section.
    • There are also some upcoming changes to L10n build system in Q1 2015 (bug 1107635).
    • Even en-US builds have stopped again. The latest trunk nightlies were 2.45a1 dated 8-Mar-2016 for W32, L32 & L64, and 2.43a1 dated 6-Jan-2016 for Mac. ** bug 1083689 Langpacks aren’t updated when auto-updating SeaMonkey because they aren’t uploaded to AMO. The solution requires changes in SeaMonkey RelEng (and possibly AMO).
    • wrt bug 1155011, we already have a Soccoro token. The patches on bug 1155013 require approval and then pushed and the work-around patches backed out.
  • [29th March 2016]
  • See RelEng page for the RelEng status history.

Release Train

  • SeaMonkey 2.40 is out.
  • We are skipping SeaMonkey 2.41
  • Currently planning for 2.42.

Previously on Buffy The Vampire Slayer:

  • IanN suggests we should follow the Thunderbird release model, doing releases off the ESR-* branch but also the occasional comm-beta “release”. L10N Translations might be problematic however rsx11m says using ESR would be “safer” with regard to more stability on releases and not having to cope immediately with bustages from mozilla side, but may require some “deal” to get l10n-relevant minor patches into the releases before the next ESR branch is coming. If you have a patch that applies cleanly from comm-beta to comm-esr45, translations should be done already (of course, that’s just simple patches such as label changes or adding a checkbox). rsx11m would go with {comm,mozilla}-esr45 and merge any “safe” patches from comm-beta but that may need some talking to l10n if string changes are involved.
  • Adriank thinks we need an *own* build infra separate from MoCo. What is needed is a buildbot (Adrian use Jenkins), a Windows, Linux, and OSX virtual machine.
  • Frg: Chatzilla locale generation still broken. Frg and Adrian to deal with this.
  • SeaMonkey 2.40 final (tracking bug 1233615) was partially released March 14, 2016
  • Next merges are scheduled for April 18 (beta → release: April 11).
    • comm-release default is now on SM 2.42.
    • comm-release and mozilla-release are now on 45.0.
    • comm-esr45 and mozilla-esr45 are now current.
  • Useful Firefox Release Schedule link: Releases Scheduling

Extensions and Plugins Compatibility Tracking

  • See Basics page. Please only list current changes here.
  • Addon Compatibility Listings (outdated), altertative list started (currently Rainer Bielefeld is the only active maintainer)
  • Lightning betas are up for 2.40, 2.41, and 2.42.
  • We are looking for a new place to host the Addon Compatibility Listings for the Add-on Converter in order to make it easy to maintain and to serve as the main database for the AMO browsing extension in the future. The details are in this post.
  • Firefox & Thunderbird Add-on Converter for SeaMonkey http://addonconverter.fotokraina.com/
    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.
    • Lemon Juice continues to improve his already impressive Addon Converter. The source is now available on GitHub [1].
    • looking for a better(?) home for extension-converter pages, along with a way to track successful and conversion-failed add-ons, and respective integration into SeaMonkey by add-on or manager overlay [2], bug 1145026.
    • Rainer Bielefeld will no longer update the list of Firefox addons that have been successfully converted by the Addon Converter. — Rrbd (talk) 09:59, 16 August 2015 (PDT)
    • Ratty filed bug 1130390 to add a link on seamonkey-projects.org to the Firefox & Thunderbird Add-on Converter for SeaMonkey.
    • The AMO Browsing for SeaMonkey extension, which makes AMO pages a lot more SeaMonkey-friendly, seems mature. (It had 9 successive revisions between 27 September and 3 October, and no change since then.) It was developed by LemonJuice (of Add-on Converter fame), and Tonymec, who tested it and now uses it, supports it enthusiastically. The author proposes to add it as a “built-in extension” besides ChatZilla, DOMi and the like. What do you think? (See also Bug 1145026: AMO Add-On-Descriptions: Add link function leading to SeaMonkey add-on-converter and filling URL input pane; the extension actually does much more than the bug’s Summary implies: for instance it gets rid of the stupid “You need Firefox 10 or later” popups.
  • The Thunderbird team is now shipping Lightning with Thunderbird. IanN will work on shipping lightning too. Related bugs:
    • bug 516026 Integrate Lightning Into SeaMonkey by Default and Ship SeaMonkey with Lightning Enabled
    • bug 1130854 Package Lightning with Thunderbird for c-c and c-a builds.
    • bug 1113183 Integrate Lightning Into Thunderbird by Default.
    • bug 1130852 Add opt-in dialog to promote Calendar integration [Thunderbird].
  • Ratty has the Firefox Devtools up and running. We can now use the Firefox Devtools debugger in both remote and local mode.
    • Venkman is now totally retired R.I.P..

2.Next

  • We have official permission to use the Firefox FxA 2.0 sync servers! We need someone to work on porting sync 2.0 over to replace legacy sync code. The finer details of how are so far unknown, but we should have a usable solution before legacy sync is turned off. See: New Firefox Sync has landed in Firefox Nightly. Tracked in:
    • bug 998807 Sync account creation or device pairing fails with exception in BrowserIDManager.
    • bug 1003434 Add support for about:sync-progress.
  • Stalled. Needs a kick.
    • bug 815954 Click-to-Play: Port bug 812562 (click-to-play blocklisted plugins: reshow urlbar notification as with normal click-to-play).
    • bug 476108 GetShortPathNameW fails under some NTFS junctions [patchlove].
  • Current breakages:
    • bug 1209875 did break any builds of 2.41+ containing a localized ChatZilla. To be fixed in bug 1210791 [checkin-needed]
  • Mozilla-central bugs that affect us:
    • Changes to Safe Browsing. Frg has a patch ready for check-in in bug 1250600 .
    • Introduction of a cloud-based certificate revocation list system for blocklists bug 1227956. rsx11m has a patch in bug 1259947 mirroring TB changes (bug 1248557 and friends).
    • Firefox is currently changing styles of several Toolkit pages
      • already affected: config.xul for about:config, Will be fixed in SeaMonkey bug 1222816.
      • Toolkit meta bug for about:* pages: bug 1097111 – SeaMonkey tracking in bug 1133743.
      • Modern may need updating as IDs are changing, Default needs forking if we want to roll back to previous styles
      • Ratty restored about:privatebrowsing UI to before it was messed up by Project Chameleon styles [bug 1192276]. Subsequent to Chameleon, Firefox developers have again redesigned the about:privatebrowsing UI to include UI for tracking protection. We should look into picking any changes we like.
      • mozilla-central bug 1189918 and bug 1190465 allow to fork Toolkit style pages for the classic/default/modern theme without harming theme developers. SeaMonkey bug 1022354 will move theme overrides to the theme manifests.
        • affected pages that should be reverted are about:config [bug 1222816], about:addons [bug 1222817], about:support [bug 1222818] (look ok in Modern but hurt in the Default theme).
    • A lot of these bugs are due to mozilla-central switching from synchronous APIs to Asynchronous APIs.
    • bug 566746 (asyncFormHistory) Form history should use asynchronous storage API. Tracked in:
      • bug 912031 Use Asynchronous FormHistory.jsm in place of nsIFormHistory2 in Suite.
    • The C++ downloads manager backend nsIDownloadManager is being decommissioned. Firefox and Thunderbird have migrated to jsdownloads.
    • bug 825588 Asynchronous JavaScript API for downloads and bug 851471 Decommission nsIDownloadManager. Tracked in:
      • bug 888915 Move SeaMonkey to the new JavaScript API for downloads when nsIDownloadManager is decommissioned. Neil has a WIP patch on hand.
    • We’ve picked up he default for security.tls.version.min from Mozilla Core, but security.tls.version.fallback-limit is new. So we need to consider adding the latter to our preferences UI (bug 1123673).
      • Currently unclear whether or not this should be done after bug 1084025 disable insecure TLS version fallback entirely by default [3]
      • alternative proposal is to make whitelist for acceptable fallback sites available in the UI, which seems to make more sense.
  • bug 1198340 The carousel within Add-On Manager can be used for SeaMonkey specific content. TO DO: Find out what sort of format AMO needs for the carousel. Get our webdev person to create necessary content. Submit content for upload to AMO.
    • Unfortunately nobody knows exactly how addons.mozilla.works because there’s no full time developer working on AMO. Ratty was given bug 1009759 as an example. So now we need someone who knows python+django.
    • About specific aspects of this problem, see: bug 1230796, bug 1230804, bug 1230806 and maybe more.
    • [Ratty] The url for the discovery pane is set in a pref. Instantbird points the URL to a chrome XUL document. If we do this we don’t have to worry about the python stuff.

Feature List, Planning

Bug statistics for the last two (full) weeks: 36 new, 6 fixed, 6 triaged.

  • good triaging effort, Rainer Bielefeld has been busy filing and verifying bugs.
  • Mozilla wants to separate Firefox and Thunderbird, in infrastructure and organizationally, which will likely affect SeaMonkey as well
  • Fundamental core features Firefox/Mozilla plans to remove:
    • bug 1222546 Product plan: remove support for heavyweight themes
      • If effective for all Toolkit applications, would render most 3rd-party themes disfunct
      • No sufficiently plausible specifics provided ‘why’ full themes ‘must’ no longer be supported
      • No clear statements by the Firefox drivers, bug has been restricted for comments since
      • Discussion diverted to https://discourse.mozilla-community.org/t/planning-the-future-of-complete-themes/
      • See bsmedberg’s post #14, targeted for Gecko 49 (April 2016).
      • may prohibit Modern theme being shipped with or installed in SeaMonkey
      • removal is “decided” without any clear alternative envisioned
    • The toolkit help viewer is going away. Neil is working on resuscitating the old XPFE help viewer which apparently has more features.

  • See Feature List page for major wanted/needed features.
  • TODO:
    • Encrypted Media Extensions / Digital Rights Management
      • bug 1127784 added a preference and UI to enable/disable playback of Encrypted Media Extensions, with UI seen in non-release builds only
      • more work appears to be needed to download necessary 3rd-party Content Decryption Modules, some UI can probably be ported from Firefox
  • What about declaring linux-x86_64 builds found at seamonkey-project.org and at ftp.m.o as “official” ?Tonymec (talk) 13:56, 7 October 2015 (PDT)
    • On October 7 two people asked in #seamonkey at a few minutes’ interval when there would be “official” 64-bit SM builds for Linux. I pointed them to the x86_64 release at the bottom of the “Other languages” release page for 2.38 and to the x86_64 2.40a2 aurora & 2.41a1 trunk builds at the bottom of the ftp.m.o nightly/latest-comm-* pages but they said these were not “official”.
    • How are we going to get out of the following vicious circle? 64-bit builds are not “official” because too few users, and users don’t install them (some even prefer compiling their own) because they aren’t “official”.
    • Maybe change the online documentation? (perhaps as part of bug 1208822 “System Requirements page needs update”?)
    • [ewong:] what’s the prerequisites of making the Linux64 builds ‘official’ aside for the issue of getting the tests done for Linux64; but our testing infrastructure is busted. bug 1209378

— Discussion on locale translations for DOMi and Chatzilla —

  • [frg] More or less obsolete items removed 03/27. One l10n bug remaining but hopefully fixed soon.
  • [IanN] Ratty: do we need to start looking at how to overlay Chatzilla and DOMi on top of the TB’s new merged (c-c + m-c) repository?
  • [Ratty] Not sure. I hope we can continue doing what we have been doing using nested repositories. However in the new merged repository. The comm-central client.py is replaced by the mozilla-central client.py so I don’t know how this will work.
  • [IanN] Merging DOMi into comm-central would make SeaMonkey releases easier. We just need to sort out locale building for DOMi.

Roundtable – Personal Status Updates

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).

ewong

  • Working On:
    • bug 1190773 – backend change for tooltool process to support the new tooltool repo.
    • bug 1260993 – change our Linux* builders to use gcc 4.8.5.
    • waiting to see if the ‘fix’ for the 2.39 to 2.40 update for Win64 clients work.

frg

Waiting for review:

  • bug 1055954 popup exceptions are not added. Please review and let me know if it’s ok. Contains string changes.
  • bug 1188348 data manager: domains invisible for Permissions, Preferences, Passwords. Contains string changes and hopefully will not miss the next cycle. I am done here and any changes will be need to put in new bugs.
  • bug 1251368 SeaMonkey cookie code needs to be updated to take into account mozilla-central bug 1245184. Might work without checking bug 1188348 in first but not tested. 2.44 and up affected.
  • bug 1250600 Update Safebrowsing in SeaMonkey for recent changes in Firefox. Follow up bug of bug 920951 Update SeaMonkey Safebrowsing preferences to sync with Mozilla-Central. Old SeaMonkey API key does no longer work but the lists are downloaded. Ratty found out that Google throttles in this case.
  • bug 1210791 Get rid of XULPPFLAGS in ChatZilla. ChatZilla l10n xpi will be ok afterwards for c-r and up.

Working on:

  • bug 1258226 Remove debugQA from SeaMonkey. Input please if this should be up for reviewed if we should keep debugQA in it’s current state.
  • bug 1238767 Localized Suite build fails in DebugQA: Stalled. I think the l10 build system might be responsible and tries to pick up files from the wrong location. Adrian Kalla thinks I need to do an l10 merge only. I disagree because the xpi only explicitly supports en-US builds. Will be a mood point if above bug is accepted.

Titbits:

  • c-r and up should build now out of the box. bug 1258206 is in as a successor for bug 1167346 comm-aurora builds are not building due to DOMi and ChatZilla pulling from revisions earlier…. It still needs to be checked into c-c so that the next merge won’t break it again.

Other things on my mind:

  • SeaMonkey needs reviewers. Ratty is not SuperRatty and can do it alone 🙂
  • –enable-optimize=-O2 should be used for Windows release builds. Linux gcc –enable-optimize optimizes for speed. With VS2013 it optimizes for size. Resulting O2 Windows build feels a lot snappier.
  • Alternate distribution path for SeaMonkey should be evaluated. It still builds and works fine but without builds in the hands of users doesn’t make much sense.
  • SeaMonkey compiles fine under VS2015 Update 2 RC with Windows 10 SDK. x86 builds produced here still works fine under Windows XP SP3. x64 build is stable for daily use in my eyes (same with VS2013).
  • m-c switched to VS2015 Update 1 and Windows 10 SDK on 03/25/2016!
  • bug 1244467 Localized Builds: ChatZilla language pack missing from SeaMonkey installer package will not be fixed by bug 1210791
  • Aero Peek is broken in c-b and up see bug 1256714. I didn’t find something which could have caused this. Got it back briefly yesterday in 2.45a1 so might be e10s related (something asynchronous timing out?).
  • When looking in Bugzilla what to do next I found a lot of in my eyes obsolete bugs in a short time. Who can close them. Tracking them in a meta bug?
Comment: I am working on this problem. We have lots of UNCONFIRMED Bugs, many of them old /obsolete. But in my systematic review (may be 3 … 5 each week) I find (approximately) 25% of these old bugs real bugs, half of them Core half of them really SeaMonkey bugs. With this speed review still will take 2 more years or so, but I think it’s better than a mass-close. — Rrbd (talk) 10:53, 29 March 2016 (PDT)
