[06:24] <joelesko> micahg:  doing the upstream beta releases sound like a great idea. I will need help understanding where the beta area is. Is like a ppa?
[06:25] <micahg> joelesko: no, take a look at where the lp:thunderbird/beta branch is pulling from, I suggest branching from lp:seamonkey and creating a beta branch
[06:26] <micahg> I've got a few more commits locally, but they're not ready ATM, it FTBFSs
[06:27] <joelesko> micahg: ok I will give it a go.
[06:27] <joelesko> Is there a beta branch for seamonkey?
[06:28] <joelesko> also, I saw the build failure for armtel. I didn't know it was building for all those different archs
[06:31] <joelesko> I know, dumb question, but do the developers use the newest distro release for their daily systems or do you use a virtialized system?
[06:39] <micahg> joelesko: no, you can propose a merge into lp:seamonkey and just add a comment to create a beta branch
[06:39] <micahg> joelesko: the primary archive builds for i386/amd64/armel/powerpc ATm
[06:39] <micahg> ATM
[06:39] <micahg> for lucid, we also had sparc and ia64
[06:40] <micahg> we try to keep everything working on all archs
[06:42] <joelesko> So the beta branch starts off just like the current one? Then I can make the changes for 2.5.0b2?
[06:44] <micahg> right, also, all changelog entries should be UNRELEASED until right before it's uploaded
[06:45] <micahg> so, the first new commit would be something like * New upstream release from the beta channel (SEAMONKEY_2_5_0_BETA2)
[06:46] <micahg> archive for precise should open early next week, we can upload the beta then
[06:46] <micahg> or whenever you're ready
[06:46] <micahg> next release is Nov 8
[06:48] <micahg> then for each change you need to make it build (drop patches, add patches), add a relavent changelog entry in the same UNRELEASED changelog and do bzr commit, it'll use the changelog entry as the commit comment
[06:48] <micahg> if dropping multiple patches due to being accepted upstream, you can do that all in one commmit
[06:49]  * micahg is getting nostalgic...
[06:51] <joelesko> I think I'm getting it. After some sleep I'm sure it will make more sense
[06:51] <joelesko> micahg: you must be running on fumes as well.
[06:52] <micahg> joelesko: eh, got a late start today, but am reaching the end of my useful consciousness
[06:54] <joelesko> So the next step is to download the package that was built and test it to make sure it working properly. Right?
[06:54] <micahg> joelesko: I'm pushing up a seamonkey.oneiric branch, that can be used to prepare the 2.5.0 security update, also, I'd like to clean up the lp:seamonkey a little more before we SRU for lucid/maverick/natty 2.5 (probably), that way, all the massive build changes can go in in one shot and then updating for each release should be relatively eady
[06:54] <micahg> *easy
[06:55] <micahg> joelesko: well, if you're running oneiric, by all means, with the security updates, I upload them to a staging PPA, then they can be tested before they're released
[06:55] <joelesko> that sounds great. Thanks.
[06:56] <micahg> joelesko: if you're available to help prepare/test seamonkey 2.5, we can release it to oneiric on release day
[06:56] <micahg> same goes for the other releases once we catch them up
[06:57] <micahg> I can point you to our regression test suite later (or give you the list of basic functionality to test)
[06:57] <joelesko> micahg: sure. that sounds perfect.
[06:58] <micahg> lp:~mozillateam/seamonkey/seamonkey.oneiric pushed
[07:04] <micahg> joelesko: thanks, we really do appreciate the help, as I'm sure our users do as well
[08:16]  * micahg hugs memshrink effort for Firefox
[08:53]  * micahg revokes the memshrink comment, 8 beta 2 uses more memory

[18:15] <FernandoMiguel> hi
[18:37] <micahg> hi FernandoMiguel, thanks for the tip earlier in the week, I haven't had time to investigate yet
[18:37] <FernandoMiguel> which one ?
[18:37] <micahg> chrisccoulson: can you set up the chromium PPAs to autobuild again?  I'll take care of the build failures as best I can
[18:37] <micahg> FernandoMiguel: the one about the NSS path
[18:37] <FernandoMiguel> np
[18:38] <FernandoMiguel> so you can keep an eye when the upda is out
[18:38] <chrisccoulson> micahg, yeah, i'll do that tomorrow (or later tonight)
[18:38] <micahg> FernandoMiguel: please let me know if you see anything else, I'm going to try to get the PPAs going again
[18:38] <micahg> chrisccoulson: I'm off starting in a few hours until Sat night, so no rush
[18:38] <FernandoMiguel> how many bugs can you handle?
[18:38] <FernandoMiguel> LOL
[18:38] <FernandoMiguel> I have 8 open
[18:38] <FernandoMiguel> gonna file one more in a few minutes
[18:38] <FernandoMiguel> search is borked
[18:39] <FernandoMiguel> it uses the latest url instead of go to search
[18:39] <micahg> chrisccoulson: also, if there's a firedrill (unlikely), if you could help jdstrand over the next two days, that would be great
[18:39] <chrisccoulson> sure, no problem
[18:40] <micahg> FernandoMiguel: if it affects the distro, please file in launchpad and link upstream if you can (I'm subscribed to chromium), otherwise, you can send me an e-mail with the links
[18:40] <FernandoMiguel> okay
[18:41] <FernandoMiguel> I started seeing video artifacts since yesterday
[18:41] <micahg> FernandoMiguel: which version?
[18:41] <FernandoMiguel> 15.0.865.0 (Developer Build 98568) Ubuntu 11.10
[18:42] <micahg> ugh, ok
[18:42] <micahg> FernandoMiguel: what type of videos?
[18:42] <FernandoMiguel> nvidia with nouveua
[18:43] <micahg> FernandoMiguel: ah, I'm running the binary driver, I think there might have been an update recently to the nvidia drivers, maybe something regressed?
[18:43] <FernandoMiguel> micahg: if it was, started yesterdat
[18:46] <micahg> FernandoMiguel: the binary drivers were uploaded monday
[18:46] <FernandoMiguel> makes sense :)
