- TB
- Need to respin for bug 331943 - PAC scripts regression
- Needed to be respun with the correct date (suffered from the date problem that Firefox 1.0.x builds did). Also, the Linux bits never got produced, so a respin is required.
- Build L10n - Are we waiting for L10n owners to take our binaries and update for L1On??
- I think Axel said that Ja and Fr are available now
- No other ones expected
- According to bug 331147 We are waiting for localizers to post links to the localized builds in this bug. So nothing available to build yet.
- How do we check for viruses? [dbaron] <<== Preed?
- IT does some sort of scanning (?). Build does not do any scanning.
- Is there a bug? [Preed] <<== TR
- Preed is happy to handle this
- FF
- QA
- FF
- Verify Win32/Linux l10n bits after CJK build completed
- Test mac L10n once available - Launch test
- zh-TW build - bug 331234 - Needs retest when build is available
- TB
- Testing has not yet commenced. At a minimum we should verify the set of security bugs that affect Tbird 1.0.8
- smoke tests/BFT
- Bug Verif
- Start L10n testing once updates come in from localizers and are built
- Testing has not yet commenced. At a minimum we should verify the set of security bugs that affect Tbird 1.0.8

1.5.0.2
- Bugs
- Blocker Noms:
- bug 331898 - Prebinding not working on Universal Binary Builds?
- bug 331511 - Running PPC profile on the Intel Mac UB causes
- Blocking
- bug 331869 - Mac Universal Binaries Don't have an update channel on them
- Waiting to land - none
- Blocker Noms:
- UB and extensions <<== big issue!!
- currently ext are 1.5.0.*
- if you upgrade from 1.5.0.1 extentions with binary objects - need full install
- Things stop working
- Will break ext with binary code
- Like Google Toolbar [Darin]
- Need to call UB: 1.5.1
- Options
- 1) Break all extensions
- 2) Release it seperately
- Get top ext - enigmail, google toolbag fixed for 1.5.0.x and then officially support.
- Release seperately
- 3) release note it BIG!
- 4) Cannot ship two different versions of mac [marcia/josh]
- Next steps
- Try google toolbar - probably wont find any native components; degraded functionality. Ex: spellcheck
- currently ext are 1.5.0.*
- We don't have the TBird UB issues resolved (bug 331511). We need to punt on UB for 1.5.0.2 TB.
- Build
- FF
- Completed the universal binary build, with the Talkback fix included. UB Build location
- Next: Once Davel tests, respin to include the fix in the release tag, and respin the Universal Binaries based on that tag (currently, they just pulled from HEAD on the branch, which isn't what we want).
- Make sure update channel is set to "release". Bug Number??
- Currently set to "default"
- Compile time change!
- Make sure update channel is set to "release". Bug Number??
- Start l10n for 1.5.0.2, since we'll have all the platforms, and hopefully no more respins!
- Can we take Lt and gu-IN?
- TB
