Seamonkey status

[Rahul Sundaram]

Hi

Seamonkey hasn't been updated in a long time.   Someone recently
mentioned it in identi.ca and filed a bug report to update it.  I was
looking into it and the  spec doesn't seem to be following the packaging
guidelines.   Source tarball seems to have created locally and doesn't
point to a URL.  No instructions on regenerating it.   Has interesting
things like %define _unpackaged_files_terminate_build 0 and %define
_use_internal_dependency_generator 0.   Patches don't have comments in
the spec etc.    Anyone know the current status?

Putting Firefox maintainers on CC to have a definite word on this, but I 
suspect that Seamonkey is generally completely in the arms of community. 
I guess if anybody wants to take it over formally in pkgdb he would be 
welcome.

Chris and Kai, am I right?

I dont know what "community" means in this context.  Everything is in
the hands of the community in Fedora but the question is who is
maintaining it?  Apparently,  noone is keeping it updated.  If so, 
orphan it properly

I worked on it during the weekend.

Does this work for you?

I don't know if it's an upstream bug or not but I can't set mozilla sync
to override local data. But except of this thing it seems to work fine.

Would you be able to test an official build from
http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/releases/2.3/
and test if it's an upstream bug?

I'm currently not actively using SeaMonkey, and haven't ever used Sync 
with SM, so I would appreciate your testing!

Also, could you please give karma to
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/seamonkey-2.3-1.fc15
if it works for you?

Given this is a major upgrade, and given I had to apply some hacks to 
make it package correctly, I would appreciate more testing before 
pushing it to stable.

Thanks a lot
Kai

Okay, it seems to be an upstream bug because I could reproduce it with
the official binaries.
