+** '''FRG:''' All trees are building locally just fine with client.py fixes for chatzilla and dom-inspector. Running 2.43 now.
 * Notes:
-** Callek is winding down his involvement over the next 12 months. Possible replacement: Adrian Kalla (adriank).

 === Release Train ===
-* {{Bug|1213721}} is a tracking bug for migration from ftp.m.o to S3 for firefox and thunderbird. There's a *scary* long list of dependent bugs over there.
+* Looks like ewong has managed to push 2.40 to the release servers at least for 2.40.
-** How close were our staging scripts to Thunderbird's prior to the S3 migration? They were relatively divergent, primarily because we don't have signing infrastructure and Thunderbird's infra uses MoCo firefox infra, and gets a lot of process for free. We should also consult Fallen to see how Thunderbird did the migration and what sort of issues cropped up.
+Discussion:
-** '''Adrian Kalla''' is still producing his localized builds. Ratty suggests that we should put out a notice on the default SM start page to tell people where they can download the latest 2.4x release builds (Mozilla-release is currently at Firefox 45 which corresponds to SeaMonkey 2.42).
+* '''KaiRo:''' We should get a 2.42 release done based on Gecko 45 ESR and then only concentrate on getting nightly to build and run well and ignore everything in between for the moment. We can then do as many 2.42.x security updates based on ESR as we want before we get something out of nightly that is in good shape again.
-** '''IanN''' suggests we should follow the Thunderbird release model, doing releases off the ESR-* branch but also the occasional comm-beta "release". L10N Translations might be problematic however '''rsx11m''' says using ESR would be "safer" with regard to more stability on releases and not having to cope immediately with bustages from mozilla side, but may require some "deal" to get l10n-relevant minor patches into the releases before the next ESR branch is coming. If you have a patch that applies cleanly from comm-beta to comm-esr45, translations should be done already (of course, that's just simple patches such as label changes or adding a checkbox). '''rsx11m''' would go with {comm,mozilla}-esr45 and merge any "safe" patches from comm-beta but that may need some talking to l10n if string changes are involved.
+* Everyone agreed to skip 2.41.
-** '''Adriank''' thinks we need an *own* build infra separate from MoCo. What is needed is a buildbot (Adrian use Jenkins), a Windows, Linux, and OSX virtual machine.
+* '''Frg:''' Chatzilla locale generation still broken. Frg and Adrian to deal with this.

 * SeaMonkey 2.39 was released November 8th, 2015.
-<!-- I leave it up to Ratty and ewong to update the 2.40 situation -->
+* '''SeaMonkey 2.40 final (tracking {{bug|1233615}}) was partially released March 14, 2016'''
-* SeaMonkey 2.40 final (tracking {{bug|1233615}}) is <s>in progress:</s> in limbo.
+<!-- I leave it up to Ratty and ewong to update the rest on the 2.40 release -->
-** 2.40 is currently mired in a swamp so deep it makes the Marianna Trenches look like a shallow pool.
+** Updating failed due to PEBKAC.  Currently rectifying this issue.
-*** Uploading is not the problem.  It's the problem of the following facts:
-**** The S3 migration did away with our stage.mo site. (It is gone)
-**** Our stage.mo site scripts depended entirely on stage.mo.
-**** We need to redo our scripts to play 'pass the bucket' on the S3 server, which requires some S3 figuring out.
-** Without Callek, we are stuck.
-** build #4 are up for all platforms and locales
-** Build #5 was tagged February 16th, but no candidate builds yet
-*** Build #5 was manually tagged.  Not sure there'll be a build 5.
-** Windows builds for #4 are signed now
-** apparently there is an issue with uploading those builds to the new S3 infrastructure [https://blog.seamonkey-project.org/2016/02/04/update-on-2-40/] See {{bug|1223633}} and {{bug|1213721}}

 * Alternate distribution path for Seamonkey should be evaluated. It still builds and works fine but without builds in the hands of users doesn't make much sense.
