Bug#351430: seamonkey for etch ?

2006-08-30 Thread Alex Vincent

Allow me to stick my two cents in, as the person currently
representing the SeaMonkey community unofficially.

Wherever you post patches that alter the SeaMonkey code, I'd like to
at least read them and offer feedback.  I'm obviously not in a
position to reject a patch, but if changes are being made, we should
see which ones can be ported back to mozilla.org as a matter of course
for forward-development of mozilla.org products.  Firefox 2.0 (and
consequently SeaMonkey 1.1) are due to be released within a few
months, so now's a pretty good time to keep an eye out for last-minute
changes the Etch and Debian communities need.

Bug#350740: new version

This version of Seamonkey runs entirely on xulrunner.


Two comments (without having run it) :

(1) SM 1.0.x from mozilla.org isn't designed for XULRunner.
(2) There is a project to make SM trunk run on XULRunner.  It's called
"suiterunner", and I'm doing some small work on it.  We'd love to have
your help with that!

I think we'd be well-advised to pay attention to this.  To my
knowledge, no one involved in the SeaMonkey packaging effort is
replacing logos, but we should be aware of what the debate is about.

Bug#350740: SeaMonkey 1.0.x: I'm willing to provide and "own"

2006-05-06 Thread Alex Vincent

I build SeaMonkey on a regular basis, and I'm currently running
Kanotix.  If you want me to provide an official SM 1.0.x build for
Debian, and to own the process for providing future releases, I'm
game.

I'm currently compiling SM 1.0.1 now, using the official Linux
tinderbox ("hoshi") mozconfig.  I also work loosely with the SeaMonkey
council, so I generally know what to do on the mozilla.org side of
things.

I'll need someone to point me to a how-to for putting together a
Debian package for release, though.

Bug#350740: SeaMonkey 1.0.x: I'm willing to provide and "own"

2006-05-07 Thread Alex Vincent

Seamonkey packaging should be simpler because mozilla-dev (and probably
all other -dev packages) should be dropped, as other packages will use
xulrunner.


That doesn't apply in this case, because SM1.0.x is based on the same
code as Firefox 1.5.0.x, and neither will be ported over to XULRunner
on these branches.

I'll look over the diff.

2006-06-03 Thread Alex Vincent

Yes - it compiled, but I haven't tested it yet.  Given that I took
exactly the source code which the official Linux release has, and the
exact configure options, I'd say we're off to a good start.

Ping me (not on this bugspam) in about 9-15 hours and we can start
walking me through the packaging process.

Bug#350740: SeaMonkey 1.0.x: Let's schedule a weekend for this

2006-06-06 Thread Alex Vincent

All right, I am going to be in over my head on this, and I know that
up front.  I'd like to see if we can rally people together on the
weekend of 10 June-11 June (Pacific time zone), on freenode's #mozilla
channel.  Debian packaging experience most badly wanted.

This is the earliest time I can make a dedicated effort to this.  I'm
thinking roughly 11 am PDT Saturday for starting.  Feedback welcome.

You won't get any objection from me.  I just want to see it happen.
I'm crazy enough to try doing it, but I will take a back seat to an
expert with pleasure.

Anyway, wouldn't make more sense if the current maintainer of Mozilla,
KITAME-san, would be in charge of following into Seamonkey's packaging?

KITAME-san, we are talking wrt #350740.

Bug#350740: seamonkey packaging

2006-05-28 Thread Alex Vincent

We need to wait for SeaMonkey 1.0.2 to be released first.  I don't
want to start work with something that hasn't been endorsed yet by the
SeaMonkey Council, and SM 1.0.1 wouldn't build for Debian.



Bug#350740: seamonkey packaging

2006-05-29 Thread Alex Vincent

When will this happen?


It's not set in stone.  SM 1.0.2 is in release candidate phase now; as
I understand it, it will be released at approximately the same time as
Firefox 1.5.0.4.

I've got good news.  I just saved 15% on my suite release estimates.  :-)

SeaMonkey 1.0.2 has been released.  I'll compile an opt build tonight
on my Debian system.

I'm only asking for an estimate. From what I can see [1] Firefox 1.5.0.4
is planned to be released really soon now.

Please understand that I simply want to have an idea when a package can
be expected, so I can make up plans for the rest of the mozilla-related
packages.

Bug#360671: any progress?

There has.  A gentleman from Linspire contacted me over the weekend
and indicated he could do the packaging of SeaMonkey.  I'm trying to
assist him from afar (meaning by e-mail), but I don't know his
schedule - or if he's watching this bug.  (I think he is.)
