Weekly Status Report, W50/2009

Here's a summary of SeaMonkey/Mozilla-related work I've done in week 50/2009 (December 7 - 13, 2009):
  • Releases:
    continued preparing SeaMonkey 2.0.1, an update of security and stability compared to 2.0 final, as well as of a number of other glitches found in the previous final release.
  • Build Machines:
    Updated the buildbot environment on our master and all slaves to be current code again after 2.0.1 felt safe to not need more build work. This needed some downtime and tree closure, but it led to having our re-imaged Mac mini join the pool and give us some of the much-needed additional build power on the slowest-to-build platform.
    I found one new bug in buildbotcustom for which I had to find and manually apply a patch for the moment, and I filed a bug for the timeout issue for which I had manually applied a patch for some time already. With that, and a better solution for the branch extensions issue, I could make us be on target again to run an unpatched tip of buildbotcustom - for the moment, I needed the three patches applied manually though.
    I finally did/proposed the newer, better patch for the latter issue later in the same week as well.
  • Mozilla Website Tools:
    On the way to a SeaMonkey 2.0.1 release, I realized was pointed to the fact that I should be able to add version info to the crash-stats site myself, and filed a bug to get access.
    When I finally updated my LCARStrek and EarlyBlue themes to 2.0 versions on AMO, I realized that there's a bogus L10n check for themes on add-on upload and filed that.
  • Testday:
    The Mozilla people held a SeaMonkey 2.0 Testday on Friday, which I participated in with supporting people and asking for a few test tasks. When I got confirmed in the beginning of that day that updates from 2.0 to 2.0.1 didn't work on the "beta" channel, I looked for the reason, finally found the error on the update server and corrected it. Then we got that version smoketested, some litmus test descriptions corrected (thanks to Serge, who is now leading QA efforts), and some bugs filed, esp. on how to further improve our suite.
    Overall, a very successful day, with tonymec, Milos, and ashuges doing some good testing and bug filing, and ashuges teaming up with aakash to lead the testday - thanks to all those and Serge for making this a successful event!
  • Various Discussions:
    Thunderbird 3.0 release, 1.9.1.6 security advisories, Lightning support, etc.

I won't give much additional comment to that week, some good stuff happened and I could shorten my backlogs from vacation and get to some actual new work - but I somehow didn't come around to post this update about last week for almost the whole of this week, so I'll leave it stand as it is - and hope the next update for the actual current week will come around faster ;-)
