Status of the SeaMonkey Buildbot Master and Tree

  • Buildmaster is up and running.
    • Due to the master having some mysql issues, Callek has put a halt on the mysql updates, which affects the tbpl. So nothing is showing in tbpl atm.
  • comm-* will be building out of mozilla-* (bug 648979 etc.). Jcrammer has completed the coding. The decision to merge c-c into m-c has been kicked down the road into the next quarter or two.
  • [5th August 2014 update]
    • All available linux64 machines are up and running buildbot (CentOS 6.5)
    • Currently the buildmaster is manually patched (with patches from bug 840427) to run jobs but ewong is continually tweaking the buildbot-config/buildbotcustom code to make the Linux* machines run Mock.
      • The following are 'old' info being kept as a reference:
        • Migrating our Linux builders to CentOS 6 bug 795354. Puppetmaster has been updated. Ewong is able to login to these hosts and buildbot is installed. We still need to get everything setup for parity and do some slight tweaks to the puppet config, but we're pretty close to useable.
        • In Progress: 2.28 beta and final will depend on build system working again for Gecko 31.0
        • bug 983536 libpango version >= 1.22.0 required on Linux.(should be fixed when bug 795354 is fixed).
        • bug 977676 SeaMonkey's puppet broken due to requirement of ffxbld ldap password.
        • bug 943740 is tracking the progress (or lack of one) in building trunk and aurora on Linux & Mac from the downloading user's POV.
        • bug 840426 tracks the buildbot-config and buildbotcustom code changes to support Mock on our linux* slaves.
        • bug 853720 tracks the builders not recognizing mozcrash. (Not exactly sure if it's relevant still, since our builders have been so perma-red for some time; but putting this here just in case.)
    • We are perma-orange on comm-central, comm-aurora and comm-beta due to problems with tests
      • Windows en-US builds are being successfully compiled but tests are not working due to a dependency on python 2.7.3.
  • pymake has been discontinued. We need to install the latest Mozilla-build and tooltool on our windows builders (tracked by bug 1023644 )
  • No langpacks since 29th August 2013 on trunk. Needs investigating.
    • Windows and Mac trunk langpacks directories have been removed on the FTP server, maybe for lack of recent XPIs (later than 2.20a1). Latest Linux langpacks are dated 29 August. Callek told Tonymec on IRC he has a hunch about why but more pressing things to do first.
    • In Bug 902876 Comment 12 Mcsmurf is waiting for feedback from the build team on how to proceed.

Release Train

  • Callek plans to have at least one 2.28 beta as soon as we get the Linux builders up.
    • SeaMonkey 2.28 beta 1 and final are intended to follow within two weeks after last merge (i.e., by the time of this meeting), otherwise another 2.26.x update will follow (Callek's news post, MZ announcement).
  • Useful Firefox Release Schedule link: Releases Scheduling

  • Medium triaging effort.

Open reviews/flags: 29 review 6 super-review 1 ui-review 4 feedback

  • See Feature List page for major wanted/needed features.
  • TODO: We will need to update our Sync UI code due to the new Sync API. Also we need to check if we are allowed to create FX accounts from our UI Since the new Sync accounts are FX accounts.[IanN] I'm sure I saw a question about FX accounts and branding.

Any other business?

Discuss:

  • [Ratty] KaiRo reminded us that we need to grow our contributor community. Perhaps we can get some Engagement experts from Mozilla to give us some suggestions?
    • [IanN] might have a chat with some people and see if they can point me in the right direction.
