SeaMonkey Meeting Details

Agenda

  • Who's taking minutes? -> TBD
  • Nominees for Friends of the Fish Tank:
    • Please note A person or entity can't be nominated twice in a row.

Action Items

(who needs to do what that hasn't been recorded in a bug) We should assign people to the open items.

NEW

OPEN

  • IanN to write the "Friends of the Fish Tank" F.A.Q.

Status of the SeaMonkey Buildbot Master and Tree

  • "Where do we stand with the machine(s) right now?"
    • bug 702490 (Rack 2 - 1U mac mini chassis(4 Mini's) in SCL2 for SeaMonkey).
      • (2011-12-01) Servers are now at SCL2 and waiting on emux to provide power/network for them.
  • The SeaMonkey tree is almost back to normal.
    • Once the the linux VM rebuild is cloned properly and Callek stores the ssh keys and buildbot config, we'll be back at normal capacity.

Release Train

  • 2.7b4 shipped on January 20.
    • This included the fix for news bug 695309 so 2.7 will have this SM 2.5/2.6 issue fixed, too.
  • The next six-weekly merge will be on January 31.
  • Get comm-aurora and comm-beta on MXR (bug 653424).
    • Jake Maul [:jakem] from Server Ops has taken over the bug from Callek.
    • Bug is still stalled. Server ops have been really busy with the PHX issues, some other severely blocking issues, and holidays.
  • en-GB patches needs review. Check to see if we can get a blanket approval to land (IanN).
    • or launch a Coup d'état and take over en-GB [Ratty].

Extensions Compatibility Tracking

We need some help with the add-ons listed under the "2.0x" heading. Anything above it will work out of the box with SM 2.7 and later (yay to compatible-by-default!). Perhaps Ratty can go through his xSidebar site and check which add-ons are not compatible with at least SM 2.1 - that would help, too.

  • Addon Compatibility Listings, mostly maintained by InvisibleSmiley
    • Recent changes can be found here.
    • Identified Quote Colors add-on as responsible for breaking the status bar of the Mailnews stand-alone message window. InvisibleSmiley sent a patch to both the add-on's author and Ratty (who hosts a modified version on his website).
    • ACR 1.0.2 breaks AOM search when used with trunk, Aurora or Beta (bug 715493). Fix checked in upstream, pending new release version.
  • Enigmail provides versions for release (AMO) and all branches (Enigmail nightly page). The current release is compatible with both 2.5 and 2.6.
  • Lightning provides versions for the current stable and beta releases (AMO) and nightlies for trunk and Aurora (Calendar Versions page). Lightning 1.2b2 is available from AMO now (Development Channel) and should be available in time for future betas.
  • The latest Firebug is now fully compatible but still not flagged as such on AMO. This depends on automatic tests being set up and run on the Firebug side (bug 680837, needs a Python coder). Stable Firebug version 1.9.x works with any recent SM version.
  • Besides the above, we should also take a look at other add-ons that are important for our users when they switch to 2.x.
  • The SeaMonkey Features page links to sub-pages for all recent SM versions, including those in development. Please help InvisibleSmiley add major features to the respective pages, ideally as they land. These pages are used when creating release notes, so the more up-to-date the better.

2.x (Last, Current, Next)

    • As stated above, news bug 695309 landed on Beta and will be in SM 2.7 proper.
  • 2.6 had ~79,000 ADU by last Thursday and 2.6.1 has had ~82,000 downloads so far.
    • Of the released versions, as of last Thursday, we have 18.9% on 2.0, 6.7% on 2.1-2.3, 6.3% on 2.4, 8.5% on 2.5 and 59.5% on 2.6. So, in the last two weeks, ~2k (an additional 1.6% of ADU) have migrated to 2.5 or above.
  • Figure out what is preventing people from moving from 2.0.x to the latest versions.
    • Perhaps putting resources into getting certain extensions working with SM 2.4 and above (those that won't work with SM 2.7 automatically due to compatible-by-default extensions).
    • Still need volunteers to look at what is keeping people at below 2.4. IanN could try knocking something up and send it round members lists for polishing but he's not on all the channels (mozillazine, etc) to post it to when finished.

Usual reminders:

  • Please make sure that anything that landed on comm-beta (for TB) or mozilla-beta (for FF) which affected non-shared code and which fixed regressions will be fixed on our side, too. Please mark bugs we feel *need* to land on a particular train tracking+ or tracking? so that when we to do a release we can be sure that we don't miss anything.
    • Priority should be given to fixing regressions ASAP. Also keep an eye on and prioritize bugs to be ported from FF/TB that land on branches (Aurora, Beta). We need to keep an eye especially on Session Restore, Sync, Tabbrowser and Address Book.
    • Be careful not to break code shared with Thunderbird, otherwise patches might have to be backed out of string frozen repositories.

2.6

open tracking (0) tracking requests (0) targeted (0) fixed (40)

  • One tracked 2.5 issue still open.
    • 2.1 through 2.6.1 have NOT included the ka 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.
    • Callek now needs to morph bug 667147 into removing |ka| from our [current] automation entirely (all-locales).
  • The New 2.6 Features page has a comprehensive list of features.

2.Next

  • Remember to help update the New Features pages as we go along.

Feature List, Planning

Bug statistics for last four (full) weeks: 38 new, 30 fixed, 20 triaged.

  • Good triaging effort.
  • Good further triage targets could come out of looking at the component bug counts, pick yours!

Open reviews/flags: 30 review 16 super-review 0 ui-review 7 feedback

Major wanted/needed features:

Active

  • bug 606683 Allow customization of toolbar in Composer and MailNews Composition [IanN].
    • Progressing slowly, still waiting on reviews from TB side. Full customization has to go to 2.next (currently 2.6 but could be pushed back further) as it needs work on TB too which is taking a while to get reviews on, plus feedback from kaze.
    • IanN is still wading through the unpicking of Composer/Mail Compose code in the dependent bugs. After that he will be reworking his customising patches.
  • bug 477845 Build a standalone (Comm-central) Composer. [kaze]
    • kaze has done a bit of work in this bug recently. Building on Windows works. Now supports debug builds on Linux if tests are disabled (--disable-tests). Still a lot to do.
    • IanN was supposed to help get builds working with --enable-tests.
      • Will look into this once he gets his customization patches reworked.
  • Real full-screen (bug 610509) and DOM full-screen (bug 701714)
    • patches provided by Mnyromyr and InvisibleSmiley.

Needing help, Unowned, Stalled

  • Kill-RDF:
    • bug 657607 Port jminta's kill-rdf to SeaMonkey where applicable Part 2 [meta].
    • bug 657604 Remove the RDF global object. [serge]
  • bug 436794 Enable Mac OS X system address book per default and add UI.
    • SM UI needed, unowned, helpwanted.
  • bug 449728 Drag tabs between windows.
  • bug 477840 Backport KompoZer to Composer (Depends on bug 477845).
    • kaze has done a ton of work there. We still need to work out some organizational issues. At the moment there is no active interest from MoMo for bringing standalone composer into comm-central. That's something we (KaiRo and kaze) will have to negotiate with the Thunderbird team (Standard8).
  • bug 507841 Port Bug 422814 - Make account configuration quick, easy, and more secure (autoconfig, Quick Account Setup).
  • bug 533908 SeaMonkey Mail: tabs not restored [misak].
  • bug 523274 Complete new default theme icon set.
  • bug 526210 Update the icon set for the SeaMonkey Modern Theme.
    • bug 548778 New communicator icons (based on Strata theme) for SeaMonkey. Some proposed icons got posted, we should take a look how to get that contribution into the product.
    • The rest is unowned so far.
  • bug 87098 [SeaMonkey] Delete key should delete location bar history list entry.
    • Note: Our location bar history doesn't and can't use autocomplete at all.
  • bug 677484 Individual SeaMonkey components are not properly handled by the Windows 7 taskbar.
  • bug 654009 Reply to list: automatically determine From: address
    • Note: The actual task here is to port bug 45715 "Reply to List" [button/(context) menu item]
  • bug 664309 Make the built-in ChatZilla display a cZ icon in SeaMonkey (now helpwanted)

  • Done:
    • Not much.
  • Ongoing: No change
    • Sm-Trunk live-testing
    • Some QA
    • Nigtly Tester Tools (as needed)
  • Problems:
    • bug 716232 SEGV crash in JS garbage collect at every startup of ChatZilla (with my settings)
      • I believe this regression might be due to the fix for bug 715883 Remove JSRuntime::gcEmptyArenaPoolLifespan (most likely-looking changeset in the regression window)
      • Don't know whom to nag
      • In the meantime, I'm chatting with Konversation and/or cZ-in-Fx3.6
  • TODO:
    • TBD.

Any other business?

  • Need to review project areas
    • IanN has put out a final draft of the project areas list, and will then confirm that anyone who is not in the loop already has been consulted.
    • We will also need to update the Mozilla-wide list of official reviewers
  • Extended Support Releases (ESR)
    • At the moment looks like that will be based off Gecko 10 so that will be 2.7 for us. Assuming we have the machines, we will also have an ESR which might help move some of those still on 2.0 up to 2.7.
    • Our ESR should use the same branch as Firefox ESR so any Security and Stability "extended" fixes for Gecko will be picked up by the SeaMonkey ESR.
    • An ESR (Extended Security Release) may not be a given for us out of the gate. Callek thinks we should revisit that, separately, once it is clearer what MoCo's general plans for their marketing/target/support levels etc. are.
    • mcsmurf is on the ESR mailing list and has volunteered to be our ESR goto guy.
  • Geolocation
    • Geolocation now works out of the box. MoCo turned it on by default for all applications that build off mozilla-central.
    • For comm-beta all we need to do is (bug 494421) to add pref("geo.wifi.uri", "https://www.google.com/loc/json"); to browser-prefs.js. However we're not even sure we are legally allowed to ship with the URL in, we might need to actually put in a pref to disable that in newer builds.
