Status of the SeaMonkey Buildbot Master and Tree

  • Buildmaster is up and running, and produces en-US builds, see 9/16 meeting's Friends of the Fish Tank. Builds and langpacks in 18 languages including en-US are available unofficially thanks to A.Kalla, see also FOFT above.
    • Due to the master having some mysql issues, Callek has put a halt on the mysql updates, which affects the tbpl. So nothing is showing in tbpl atm.
  • comm-* will be building out of mozilla-* (bug 648979 etc.). Jcrammer has completed the coding. The decision to merge c-c into m-c has been kicked down the road into the next quarter or two.
    • Recent work on this:
    • bug 1040009 .mozconfig configure options are ignored if objdir path is absolute
    • bug 1035599 Pseudo-merge m-c and c-c's objdir
  • [30th September 2014]
    • Infrastructure issues
      • linux64 systems are plagued by bug 1058385. Regular AWOLing. Currently 8 slaves are down.
      • WinNT systems were plagued by bug 1069119 and bug 1069117; but they seem to be ok now.
      • NB: Currently the miscellaneous patches to fix the RelEng infra (tooltool et.al) are all applied to the master directly. Once reviewed, the patches will be pushed to their corresponding repositories and the master will be updated properly.
    • [comm-central]
      • All platforms busted : bug 1071497 Patch checked in. Builds now back to "normal".

  • In Bug 902876 Comment 12 Mcsmurf is waiting for feedback from the build team on how to proceed.


Release Train

  • SeaMonkey 2.29.1 was released on 24th September 2014.
  • There shall be a 2.30 beta soon. Schedule TBA.
  • Useful Firefox Release Schedule link: Releases Scheduling

Extensions and Plugins Compatibility Tracking

  • Firefox & Thunderbird Add-on Converter for SeaMonkey
  • This tool goes a little further beyond simply modifying install.rdf - it also identifies a few more other things in the code that are Firefox or Thunderbird specific and attempts to change them. Of course, not all extensions can be ported so easily to SeaMonkey since there's only so much an automated tool like that can do.

    Add-on Converter for SeaMonkey: http://addonconverter.fotokraina.com/

    • There is a long list of Firefox and Thunderbird extensions that have been successfully converted in the Mozillazine thread[1]. Can someone go through the thread and add the list of successful conversions to SeaMonkey/AddonCompat.
  • bug 1060858 Ghostery 5.3.1 does not support SeaMonkey. Ghostery depends on the Addon-SDK. Since the SDK has been rewritten to support Firefox Australis redesign, Ghostery no longer works for SeaMonkey. Ratty has emailed info@ghostery.com regarding this.
  • See Basics page. Please only list current changes here.
  • Addon Compatibility Listings
  • Ratty filed bug 957149 to push an updated version of DOMi to addons.mozilla.org to pick up the latest fixes. Depends on:
  • Our build team needs to automate DOMI branch selection rather than having to tweak the client.py every 6 weeks. bug 763506

2.x (Last, Current, Next)

  • [From a previous meeting:] There is a problem with the metrics server, so no current data is available
  • See Basics page for the usual reminders.

 If you want Firefox 32.0 to take another crack at importing your passwords,
  1. In about:config, right-click signon.importedFromSqlite and choose Reset.
  2. Type about:support into the address bar and press Enter.
  3. Click the Show Folder button.
  4. Exit Firefox.
  5. Delete the logins.json file from the profile folder.
     This assumes you didn't save or modify any passwords in Firefox 32.0. If you did, not only will they all be lost, but the key3.db decryption key won't match the old signons.sqlite database from Firefox 31.0.

 There's a neat Password Exporter add-on:
 https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/password-exporter/
 Install it, then you get an option to import/export your passwords on the Tools>Options>Security tab.
 Export Passwords file which is automatically dated to .xml or .csv.
 Then install 32.0 or greater.
 You can then simply import all your passwords effortlessly.

Feature List, Planning

Bug statistics for the last two (full) weeks: 57 new, 12 fixed, 18 triaged.

  • Medium triaging effort, well above average in new bugs filed during the last three weeks.
  • IanN thinks it would be useful to remind people on the newsgroups / forums that they can contribute by triaging. Tonymec will post a reminder to newsgroups / forums

Open reviews/flags: 31 review 6 super-review 3 ui-review 4 feedback

  • See Feature List page for major wanted/needed features.
  • TODO: We will need to update our Sync UI code due to the new Sync API. Also we need to check if we are allowed to create FX accounts from our UI Since the new Sync accounts are FX accounts.[IanN] I'm sure I saw a question about FX accounts and branding.
