* Nominees for Friends of the Fish Tank:

=== Action Items ===

** We will be on moznet irc too until it is turned off (planned for February 2020).

'''NEW'''

* —

'''OPEN'''

** '''ewong''' will look into it. It might be useful in the future to save us money. Currently we first set up Jenkins.

** '''ewong''' has been looking at Kallithea, RhodeCode and other similar tools which are needed later to automate source code management for non mozilla repos (tools, website and others).

* We are planning to provide official repos on gitlab.

** An internal meeting is scheduled for Tuesday where we will discuss the first steps.

*** Github needs a user override and is not very friendly to unknown or browsers it does not want to support. SeaMonkey users might not be able to use it in the near future at all.

** With git we would be able to integrate gitlab into our infrastructure.

* —

* Some Capacity planning to find the best price/performance ratio is carried out.

** Other than azure hosting options because of price are also evaluated.

<!-- Comment out this section if nothing new fixed -->

<!-- uncomment if no new stuff comes up  

** l10n is broken in comm-central because of search plugin issues. If we switch to search/list.json then we need to keep the l10n searchplugin xml files for esr60 or switch esr60 too.

*** Fix for {{bug|1300198}} will unbreak the comm-central l10n builds.

** See {{bug|1452448}} for current comm-central breakages. This is not up to date.

** See {{bug|1379370}} for current 2.53 breakages. All known major bugs for 2.53 are closed.

** For building please apply the patches from Bills website to the noted comm-release and mozilla-release changeset.

* [comm-esr68]:

** If you want to use Rust 1.33 and up you need the patches available on Bills site.

** Building with webrender enabled (unsupported and not working) with Rust 1.37 or higher currently does not work.

** See {{bug|1433370}} for current 2.57 breakages.

=== Release Train ===

* SeaMonkey 2.49.5 was released on September 4th

** '''ewong''' is looking into uploading the missing crash symbols.

** Some minor release issues with the readme and checksums are looked into.

*** Currently these versions produce a non working or "crashy" SeaMonkey.

*** clang 5 can be used instead of gcc 7 or 8.

** The 2.49.5 release uses the following branches in hg:

*** [https://hg.mozilla.org/releases/comm-esr52/shortlog/SEAMONKEY_2_49_ESR_RELBRANCH SEAMONKEY_2_49_ESR_RELBRANCH ].

*** [https://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-esr52/shortlog/SEAMONKEY_2_49_ESR_RELBRANCH SEAMONKEY_2_49_ESR_RELBRANCH ].

* The beta 1 release is tracked in {{Bug|1584803}}.

** Plan is to do at least frequent official beta releases in 2019.

*** The big security problems which were in the public up to 60.9 are fixed.

*** The current security level as of today is more or less at 60.4. Goal is to to be on par with latest ESR 60 soon.

** Bill posts the patch files from '''frg''' containing the backported source and fixes on [http://www.wg9s.com/comm-253/ his wg9s website] for 2.53.

*** '''frg''' maintains the patches for 2.53 on gitlab in a private repo. Anyone who wants access can send him an email but Bills repo is usually up to date.

** '''frg''' will do a preliminary 2.53 landing page for the website.

** The safebrowsing V4 api and list fetches are working in 2.53 and up.

** '''IanN''' will look into including My and pt-BR locales. '''frg''' can create patches based on l10n-release and l10n-central suite but these would need to be manually fixed by the translators and checked into a comm-release branch. We did this with nb-NO in {{bug|1391174}}.

** WebExtentions dictionary support should be enabled as soon as possible in 2.53.

** 2.57 will be build from the '''comm-esr60''' repo.

** Mail and news are still broken in SeaMonkey 2.57 (Thunderbird is now at 60.9.0).

** Not all patches with l10n-relevant string changes are done for 2.57. '''frg''' has figured out a way to do this using strings from later l10n-central releases (suite directory only). He tried this with a local l10n dir and it turned out ok.

*** '''IanN''' will test it later but there is currently no alternative presented.

'''frg''' suggests splitting off the tests to separate bugs for tracking and hopefully fixing in the future.

With the current dev resources at hand he is not very hopeful about fixing the tests anytime soon.

* We might need new SeaMonkey bugzilla component for tracking website problems with our product.

=== Any other business? ===

* '''WG9s''' proposed to make each Sunday 14:00 UTC (16:00 CET) a general meeting time. If no status meeting is scheduled at this day whoever is available can tune in for an ad-hoc meeting.
