CLOSED

Status of the SeaMonkey Buildbot Master and Tree

All our machines are now all out of SJC1 are are now at SCL3 or SCL1
- The R4 Macs are plugged-in, connected and base-imaged. Waiting on Callek to complete the setup.
- cb-seamonkey-linux-01 has been de-commissioned with extreme prejudice.
- The Linux32 VMs are all up.
- 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.
Build on MSVC2010 (ewong and Callek).
- Trunk builds and all branches except release are now MSVC2010.
Build SeaMonkey using clang bug 775539. In progress.
- bug 776426 Set up ccache on all MacOSX systems. Waiting for review. CCCACHE is installed on the MacOSX systems but needs setting up.
- bug 776428 Port |Bug 755145 - Define CCACHE_CP2 when using ccache and Clang| to SeaMonkey. Waiting for review.
- bug 776523 Add ac_add_options --enable-ccache to build/macosx/common [Fixed].
- Find an interim solution for hosting tooltool binaries pending bug 768879 Have a world readable tooltool repository.
L10n Update: (2012-08-07):
- L10n buildbots are building again on all three platforms for be, de, en-GB, es-AR, gl, hu, it, lt, nl, ru, sk, uk, zh-CN and zh-TW.
- Still nothing since end of April for cs, es-ES, fr, nb-NO, pl, pt-PT and sv-SE. This might be due to extension issues causing bustage and thus no real repacks finished.
  - IanN says that adrianK and stefanh might be able to help on a couple of those locales, and that the pt-PT and es_ES people do drop by in #seamonkey.
- bug 780557 Old language files packed with Hungarian version of SeaMonkey 2.11. This is because no-one on the hu locale team signed off on a newer revision.

Release Train

2.12b2 shipped July 27
2.12b3 shipped August 3

Extensions Compatibility Tracking

See Basics page. Please only list current changes here.
Addon Compatibility Listings
- Nothing to highlight.
[Ratty] Nothing specific to report except that recently I've looked at several random Firefox extensions and noticed that they've all been recently made SeaMonkey compatible without being prompted by myself of one of my volunteers.
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.

2.x (Last, Current, Next)

2.11 had ~71,400 ADU by last Tuesday and ~88,100 downloads so far.
- Of the released versions, as of last Tuesday, we have 11.4% on 2.0, 3.7% on 2.1-2.3, 5.3% on 2.4-2.6, 2.3% on 2.7, 3.2% on 2.8, 5.8% on 2.9, 10.0% on 2.10 and 58.3% on 2.11. So, in the last two weeks, ~2.3k (an additional 1.9% of ADU) have migrated to 2.7 or above.
- Since 19th June ADU numbers have been dropping.
  - ADUs still falling but tailing off.
  - Firefox has also seen numbers dropping. This is probably the normal summer drop that we've seen in past years.
- 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.
- The current plan is to create a new page for latest builds available for "Legacy Platforms" e.g. PPC containing links to 2.6.1 PowerPC/G4 and also perhaps to seamonkey-ppc (2.10 and 2.11b3 for OSX 10.5.8) TenFourFox and Tenfourbird. We can then link to that from our main release page. See bug 759315.
  - InvisibleSmiley pushed a page to the staging website and Ratty gave initial feedback.
See Basics page for the usual reminders.

2.11

open tracking (0) tracking requests (12) targeted (2) fixed (25)

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 and the ka l10n maintainers have not yet updated for changes in later SeaMonkey versions.
- The plan was that Callek needs to morph bug 667147 into removing |ka| from our [current] automation entirely (all-locales), and will look at the best locale to transition any ka users to.
- The ka owner came back with a bundle of l10n changes to get checked in. Callek to look into doing that, and try to identify if ka will be sustained going forward before completely abandoning.

Good First Bugs

[Ratty] In June I trawled through my notes and came up with an initial list of GFBs. See previous meeting notes for details. Since then I've been slowly adding to this list as I come across them, or if someone points one out to me.
Note: The GFB list is open to all including our regular contributors.
In the last two weeks since the previous meeting:
- Ekanan Ketunuti fixed two bugs: bug 779720 bug 779076 .
- TonyMec fixed three bugs (bug 779077, bug 439312, bug 633730) and is currently working on another (bug 768015).
- One was assigned but no movement spotted bug 767919 so I've removed Madhavan as the assignee and someone else has stepped forward to work on this.
- I've experimented with advertising one GFB theme bug (bug 461494) in the Mozillazine Theme Development forum and have gotten several submissions almost immediately.
Currently there are 23 GFBs open, One actively being worked on, one seems to have stalled since April and one has been fixed except for the tests.
Neil suggests we could get some Services conversions going as GFBs.
- This is bug 735333 (Use Services.prefs instead of preferences-service / gPrefService, in SeaMonkey code) but appears to have stalled (see previous item).
