Status of the SeaMonkey Buildbot Master and Tree

  • bug 908090 ImportError: No module named json, on SeaMonkey Linux/Windows (all) test runs, due to (still) using Python 2.5. We do have python 2.7 installed but our build system is picking up python 2.5 instead.
  • No Windows langpacks since 8th April on trunk. Needs investigating.
    • http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/nightly/latest-comm-central-trunk-l10n/win32/xpi/ (as well as .../mac/xpi/) contain nothing more recent than 2.20a1. Not sure if a bug has been filed. Linux-i686 is OK… when the Linux builders are green of course (see "current linux bustage" bullet item below). Linux-x86_64 langpacks were never built (enhancement bug 892418), so that's OK too. Callek told me on IRC he has a hunch about why but more pressing things to do first. This is low priority since langpacks are supposed to be the same regardless of on which platform they were built, but it might indicate (I haven't checked) missing "full builds" for W32 and Mac other than en-US. Tonymec (talk) 17:53, 23 July 2013 (PDT)
    • Recently it has got worse: Not only no Mac and W32 langpacks later than 2.20a1, but no Linux langpacks dated later than 29 August, even though Linux nightlies are being published every 24h now. Tonymec (talk) 04:39, 17 September 2013 (PDT)
  • Newer version of TBPL at [1].
  • Buildmaster is up and running.
    • Callek is hand-approving requests for CLOSED TREE landings until he gets things stable enough to reopen the tree.
    • Current Linux bustage caused by Core bug 825708 has been fixed. See bug 910990 (trunk is not compiling due to old header linux/ethtool.h).
  • bug 740633 set up seamonkey HPs in scl3. Hardware installed and iLO configured. CentOS 6.3 installed.
  • comm-* will be building out of mozilla-* eventually (bug 648979 etc.). Jcrammer is working on this.


Release Train

  • SeaMonkey 2.21 beta 1 has been released on September 7, 2013.
  • SeaMonkey 2.21 beta 2 has been released on September 11, 2013.
  • SeaMonkey 2.21 final is expected to be released September 17, 2013.

Extensions and Plugins Compatibility Tracking

  • See Basics page. Please only list current changes here.
  • Addon Compatibility Listings
  • The Sun Java 7 plugin should start working in SeaMonkey 2.22 Linux builds again (was broken before on Linux). Fixed by bug 904485 (stdcxx error in build).
  • There are now Lightning versions for both SM 2.20 (Lightning 2.5b2) and SM 2.21 betas (Lightning 2.6b1) available on AMO.
    • Might need to point out in release notes that users needs to install the Lightning beta versions for the SeaMonkey releases (as Lightning follows Thunderbird 17.0.x release schedule)
    • Problem: Linking to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/seamonkey/addon/lightning/versions/ will provide users with versions that do not put them on the addons beta update channel; also linking to a specific version would need updating with every release
    • Linking to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/seamonkey/addon/lightning/#beta-channel does not jump to the correct page position as addons.mozilla.org loads the user comments for the addon after pageload. So it first moves to the correct position (page anchor) and after that it loads the user comments
  • Our build team needs to automate DOMI branch selection rather than having to tweak the client.py every 6 weeks. bug 763506
  • Nightly Tester Tools is being actively developed by xabolcs (coder) and whimboo (reviewer) to make it more compatible with comm-central in general and SeaMonkey in particular. See Issues · mozilla/nightlytt · GitHub.
    The latest AMO version supports SeaMonkey and the latest AMO "development" version even supports customizing the title and/or the "Build ID" paste with either or both of the mozilla-{something} and comm-{something} changesets.
  • Plugins: (They are not XPIs but nowadays they are handled by the add-ons manager so they might belong here for lack of a better section on this page.)
    • bug 549697 changed the way the preferences for plugins click-to-play work. Mcsmurf fixed this in bug 901749 by making "Activate all plugins by default" in SeaMonkey preferences to set the right preference (plugin.default.state).

2.x (Last, Current, Next)

    • bug 795144 default --disable-gnomeui icon theme support

Feature List, Planning

Private Browsing is now working and uplifted to SeaMonkey 2.19. Currently we are treating this feature as Experimental because although most things are working some edge cases have probably been missed. Hopefully any remaining bugs will be found before we formally announce.

  • Testing would be appreciated! Please file bugs as blocking the meta bug 460895.
  • TODO The about:privatebrowsing page needs UI polish (bug 842439).

Bug statistics for the last two (full) weeks: 35 new, 22 fixed, 18 triaged.

  • Medium triaging effort.
