Weekly Status Report, W28/2009

Here's a summary of SeaMonkey/Mozilla-related work I've done in week 28/2009 (July 6 - 12, 2009):
  • SeaMonkey Build/Release Harness:
    A series of patches for buildbot tooling concerning L10n repackaging and release automation for comm-central applications got reviews and landed during a Mozilla maintenance window (to ensure that Firefox machines would be undisturbed). I also landed configuration files for SeaMonkey release automation, so that we are mostly ready for using that harness for 2.0 Beta 1.
    The Mac unpackaging fix needs to land on 1.9.1 (I could land it on mozilla-central already and it performs well there) and the same for release tools needs to land correctly before we are fully ready.
    I also could do Phase II of switching new buildbot configs to production, now the SeaMonkey waterfall has builds based on mozilla-central, while the default builds based on 1.9.1 are on the SeaMonkey2.0 page.
    The fix for trunk Mac builds landed before doing that, as did the fix by Neil that also made the nightly update breakage go away, so things looked quite good for the trunk builds from the beginning, though I needed to switch off tests for Windows nightlies and enlarge the timeout for making build symbols to get the nightlies for Windows going there.
    In addition to all that, I did a patch for automatically removing debug UI from beta and final releases, which should land soon and be in place for Beta 1.
  • Release Process:
    Continued uploading a few remaining contributed builds for SeaMonkey 1.1.17.
  • SeaMonkey L10n:
    We could add Turkish to the SeaMonkey trunk locales, so that we now have 25 languages listed there, including US English. It will be interesting to see how many of them make the first automated simultaneous localized release in SeaMonkey history (2.0 Beta 1).
  • German L10n:
    I kept up with the late-l10n change of the download manager prefs and mailnews search so that de should be good for beta 1.
  • Various Discussions:
    Adding 2.1a1pre to AMO, DEL and other keys in download manager, Download manager pref panel, tabmail, getting Beta 1 into shape, etc.

It looks like Beta 1 might finally just fall into place nicely, even thought we are still tracking an issue with history import from 1.x builds, we now have a clue on how it could be fixed in toolkit code (mozilla-central appears to be fixed), but it might just not make the 2.0b1 build cutoff, unfortunately. We'll deal with that in this week's SeaMonkey Status Meeting and we'll re-evaluate if we can ship with that bug and just relnote it or if we need to have it fixed (we did ship Alpha 3 with this bug, apparently). For everything else, we look good for freezing Beta 1 this Tuesday and start builds for it later this week, making them available for testing. I hope you all will help to do that testing and hopefully clear the builds for an important milestone release, which will be the first time that we'll offer official localized release builds for all major platforms.
