Activity reports

Bryce Harrington (bryce)

Chris Coulson (chrisccoulson)

• General:
  • Security updates - Firefox 3.6.9, xulrunner 1.9.2.9, Thunderbird 3.0.7, Firefox 3.5.12, xulrunner 1.9.1.12 and Seamonkey 2.0.7 (scheduled for today)
  • Backporting more security fixes to Thunderbird 2.0.0.24 + testing
  • Debugging issues with the patch I submitted upstream to make Firefox crash reporting work on Ubuntu, which failed with GCC4.3 and meant it had to be backed out of mozilla-central. Fixed now though.

  • Spent some time trying to work out mimetype detection in Firefox and Thunderbird, to understand why LP: #239952 happens, and also to investigate issues people are having opening attachments in Thunderbird (possibly related)

  • Fixed some issues in Firefox 4.0 introduced with all the recent packaging changes:
    • Cleaned up the system preference conffiles on upgrade (these are no longer supported)
    • Made it possible to distribute our vendor preferences in the packaging again
  • Sent an e-mail to the ubuntu-bugsquad and ubuntu-bugcontrol mailing lists describing how to handle Firefox crashes now
• Bugs:

  • Investigated ubufox upgrade failures, LP: #627879. It turns out that this is being triggered by some packaging changes made by an Ubuntu derivative, and is not a problem for Ubuntu users. I'm not planning to do anything else with this, unless the bug noise becomes too excessive.

  • Backported a patch for LP: #239952 from mozilla-central for Firefox 3.6, and requested approval for mozilla-1.9.2. If we don't get that by next week, I'll try and distro-patch our package instead.

  • Started working on LP: #543064, which affects anybody running thunderbird on KDE. I know how to work around it, but ideally we'd get the Firefox KDE integration working in Thunderbird instead, and then this issue would go away entirely.

  • Wrote a patch for LP: #630281 and submitted upstream for review

• Sponsoring:
  • connman and ofono updates
• SRU:

  • gnome-terminal 2.30.2 for Lucid to fix LP: #526437 and LP: #534225. It's currently sat in the queue awaiting review
