SeaMonkey Meeting Details

Agenda

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


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

  • All our machines are now at SCL3 or SCL1.
    • The R4 Macs are plugged-in, connected and base-imaged. Waiting on Callek to complete the setup (also see below in the clang section, sea-mini-osx64-1..4).
    • 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.
    • 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.
  • 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).
    • bug 793501 added two new functions, which are provided by gtk 2.18 and above. bug 805753 fixes the src compat layer to include those two functions.
  • Linux 64bit builds are failing (bug 798921) since mozilla-central bug 797671 landed.
    • 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 plan to get Linux 64bit building again (at the cost of some perf) by defining YUV_DISABLE_ASM.
  • Build SeaMonkey using clang bug 775539. In progress.
    • 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. Currently waiting to see if this fix sticks.
    • bug 791442 Mac trunk build with clang and XCode 4.1 failing. Callek is investigating. Current solution will be to install Mac OS X 10.7 (already done) and all required software on the sea-mini-osx64-1..4 and do buildbot magic to only build on the new macs and test on our "old" ones. There is no solution yet for the machines cb-sea-miniosx64-01..3. Update: clang seems to work now with the 10.7 buildbox.
    • bug 806609 ipc_channel_posix.cc fails to compile on SeaMonkey OS X debug buildslave. somewhere in the build process some flags get lost. Mcsmurf will investigate.
    • The latest build issue on the new OS X Lion builders is probably bug 805091. Mcsmurf filed bug 806317 to port PATH buildbot config changes.
  • Localized SeaMonkey central & aurora Linux & Mac builds busted. A fix is in progress in bug 799626.

Release Train

  • 2.14b3 shipped November 3

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.
    • AMO bug 666303 has been fixed (Seamonkey 2.1 and newer are detected as Firefox 2.1 and newer on the Add-on Site).
    • Nothing to highlight.
  • 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've had another chemspill (2.13.2). We took the opportunity to backport bug 801615 (Edited contacts can't be saved if address book has lists) and bug 803843 (IMAP mailfiles keep growing to gigabyte size) to 2.13.2.
  • We've been holding back AUS updates for 2.13.2 while waiting for Norton to whitelist this release? IanN thinks we cannot wait for Norton indefinitely and should activate them now. According to Ewong, once Callek resolves the issue either later today or tomorrow he'll do the pushsnip.
  • 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:
  • Newcomer Amod is stalled on bug 752331 (Busy with exams).
    • 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.

Any other business?

  • Bug Day:
    • Useful link: [1], also see [2] for results.
    • Tallying Bug Day results: still in progress. See Tonymec's roundtable entry for details.
  • 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.
