SeaMonkey Meeting Details

Agenda

  • Who's taking minutes? -> Ratty
  • Nominees for Friends of the Fish Tank:
    • Callek for getting our build trees green!
    • IanN for porting all sorts of build system changes from mozilla-central.

Action Items

(who needs to do what that hasn't been recorded in a bug) We should assign people to the open items.

NEW

  • Ratty filed bug 803168 [Meta] Port Installer Changes from Firefox as at 2012/10. Hopes people will help with some of the referenced bugs.

OPEN

  • TBD

CLOSED

  • TBD

Status of the SeaMonkey Buildbot Master and Tree

  • Intermittent issue with Mac OSX64 Debug Leak log comprehension. Issue tracked in bug 811195 and bug 811199 (Port |bug 794510 Build with NO_NSPR_10_SUPPORT| to SeaMonkey). Also see possibly related Thunderbird bug 806492.
  • All our machines are now at SCL3 or SCL1.
    • 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 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.

Fixed Stuff Since Last Meeting

  • 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 (with a source compat layer for building with GTK 2.10)
    • Also see bug 793634 on this, in the future GTK 2.18 and glib 2.22 will be required).
  • Linux 64bit builds were failing (bug 798921) since mozilla-central bug 797671 landed Fixed.
    • 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 managed to get Linux 64bit building again (at the cost of some perf) by defining YUV_DISABLE_ASM in Linux64
  • Build SeaMonkey using clang bug 775539. Fixed.
    • 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 Fixed.
    • bug 791442 Mac trunk builds with clang and XCode 4.1 were failing. We have installed Mac OS X 10.7 and all required software on sea-mini-osx64-{1,2,3,4} (bug 793463) and do buildbot magic to only build on the new r4 macs and test on our "old" ones. There is no solution yet for the machines cb-sea-miniosx64-01..3. Fixed with a few followup issues remaining:
      • bug 793464 Restore cb-sea-miniosx64-02 to a copy of cb-sea-miniosx64-03.
      • bug 783154 Refactor the chrome hang code to use the same class as write poisoning.
      • bug 806317 port PATH buildbot config changes from bug 758694.
      • bug 806609 ipc_channel_posix.cc fails to compile on SeaMonkey OS X debug buildslave.
  • Localized SeaMonkey central & aurora Linux & Mac builds busted. Fixed in bug 799626.

Release Train

  • 2.14b3 shipped Saturday 3rd November.
  • 2.14b4 shipped on Friday 9th November.
  • 2.14b5 is scheduled to ship on Wednesday 14th November.

Extensions Compatibility Tracking

  • See Basics page. Please only list current changes here.
  • Addon Compatibility Listings
    • Extensions are now compatible by default thus mitigating the issue. Although some people still disable c-b-d and run into issues.
    • Nothing to highlight.
  • bug 808426 Bump extension compatibilities in preparation for SM 2.15 [chatzilla, dom-inspector, venkman]. What's missing now is updating client.py and optionally tagging. If we get this into shape on aurora now, 2.15b1 will be good to go from the start.
  • 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.
    • In the past Serge often pushed this forward for us. But with Serge on a sabbatical, Ewong thinks he should talk to Callek in getting this automated.
    • Meanwhile Invisible Smiley will check where we need bumps this time.

2.x (Last, Current, Next)

  • 2.13 had ~87,200 ADU by last Tuesday and 2.13.2 ~67,500 downloads so far.
    • Of the released versions, as of last Tuesday, we have 10.4% on 2.0, 2.9% on 2.1-2.3, 3.8% on 2.4-2.6, 5.6% on 2.7-2.9, 1.8% on 2.10, 4.6% on 2.11, 8.4% on 2.12 and 62.6% on 2.13. 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

open tracking (0) tracking requests (3) targeted (3) fixed (6)

  • We had been holding back AUS updates for 2.13.2 while waiting for Norton to whitelist this release. This issue has been resolved and updates have been pushed.
  • 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.
  • SeaMonkey 2.13 Release Notes
  • Fixes in 2.13.2

Feature List, Planning

Bug statistics for the last two (full) weeks: 32 new, 33 fixed, 26 triaged.

  • Medium triaging effort.

Open reviews/flags: 23 review 7 super-review 1 ui-review 5 feedback

  • See Feature List page for major wanted/needed features.
    • Out of sight out of mind. The trouble with shuffling this off to another page makes these issues less discoverable. Ratty suggests featuring one or more bugs from that page at each meeting.

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 30 GFBs open, 3 are being actively worked on. One is delayed, and one was abandoned.
  • 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:
    • Ewong is working on bug 791238.
    • Archaeopteryx has been busy slogging away at bug 735333.
    • Liuweiran si working on bug 768005.
    • Newcomer Amod is trying to pick up bug 752331 again, this time developing on Windows.
  • 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.

tonymec

Any other business?

  • Bug Day:
    • Useful link: [1], also see [2] for results.
  • 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.
