Agenda Items

The following agendas were proposed for this meeting:

  • Jaunty Discussions/Planning (gnomefreak)
  • Universe Software Security Support (asac)
  • Actions from last meeting
  • Review of Auto Extension Scripts
  • Other Business

Agenda

The following is a break down of the entire meeting by agenda items.

Jaunty Discussions/Planning

  • firefox 3.1 and xulrunner 1.9.1 to be uploaded early in cycle; keep unofficial/milestone branding until it becomes the default (aka when final); fta noted that this is already the case
    • consider providing -backports if someone is willing to work on that and maintain it in future
  • Qt support for xulrunner/firefox; investigate how to best package that; firefox should be widget toolkit independent; this might require upstream patches
  • Other packages in pipeline: fennec flock instantbird seamonkey-2.0 songbird thunderbird-3.0 xul-explorer

    • flock has trademark issues and upstream seems to enforce them -> consider unbranding -> ask jcastro to mediate.

    • enigmail probably needs to be fixed to support thunderbird 3.0 (both, packaging as well as code wise)
  • songbird needs trademark clarification: EULA?; needs decision how and if to package this

Actions from last meeting

  • Check for extensions and plugins that are not supported in Firefox 3, and remove them, if there are no updates for them -> Done

  • Remove Firefox 2 from the archive -> Done

  • Add abrowser to all firefox rdepends and upload -> Done

  • Try to get Firefox 3.1 alpha2 into the archive -> carried forward to jaunty

  • Write down how to get items into the monthly reports and send that to mailing list/wiki -> carried forward

  • File a bug about removing libflashssupport from ia32-libs -> Done

  • Get mozilla-devscripts in Debian -> needs decision/action, carried forward

  • Write scripts for automatic upgrade of extensions -> partly done; needs integration/polishing/production deployment
