For a good period of time leading up to this release, the "hoshi" box doing the 1.8 branch Linux builds and NATing the Windows machine was having problems due to a file system problem, which I fixed this afternoon Central European time.

Now that it should be up again, I started the process with tagging.


Tagging process started at 2009-08-22 11:48 PDT using the following commands:

cvs -d :ext:[e-mail]:/cvsroot checkout -r GECKO181_20090812_RELBRANCH -D "2009-08-22 20:48:00" mozilla/client.mk
cd mozilla
make -f client.mk checkout MOZ_CO_PROJECT=suite
rm -rf security/nss-fips
cvs -d :ext:[e-mail]:/cvsroot tag -b SEAMONKEY_1_1_18_MINIBRANCH client.mk
cvs -d :ext:[e-mail]:/cvsroot commit -r SEAMONKEY_1_1_18_MINIBRANCH -m 'initial minibranch commit' client.mk
mv client.mk ../client.mk.orig
sed 's/THUNDERBIRD_2_0_0_23_RELEASE/SEAMONKEY_1_1_18_RELEASE/' ../client.mk.orig > client.mk
rm ../client.mk.orig
cvs -d :ext:[e-mail]:/cvsroot commit -r SEAMONKEY_1_1_18_MINIBRANCH -m 'edit tags to pull from SEAMONKEY_1_1_18_RELEASE' client.mk
mv xpfe/bootstrap/version.txt ../version.txt.orig
sed 's/pre//' ../version.txt.orig > xpfe/bootstrap/version.txt
rm ../version.txt.orig
mv xpfe/bootstrap/module.ver ../module.ver.orig
sed 's/pre//' ../module.ver.orig > xpfe/bootstrap/module.ver
rm ../module.ver.orig
cvs -d :ext:[e-mail]:/cvsroot commit -r GECKO181_20090812_RELBRANCH -m 'remove "pre" postfix from SeaMonkey version on release branch' xpfe/bootstrap/module.ver xpfe/bootstrap/version.txt
cvs -d :ext:[e-mail]:/cvsroot tag -F SEAMONKEY_1_1_18_RELEASE client.mk
cvs -d :ext:[e-mail]:/cvsroot tag SEAMONKEY_1_1_18_RELEASE


Tagging finished at approx. 2009-08-22 12:00 PDT

Version bumped to 1.1.19pre on main 1.8 branch, waiting for a successful Linux nightly cycle before starting off the 1.1.18 release build runs.

Comment 3

[Robert Kaiser]

The builds are done and up at http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/nightly/candidates-1.1.18/ now - the funny thing is that the first green build hoshi did in weeks is the release :)

[Robert Kaiser]

Now that we have a patch for bug 512187, I landed it on the relbranch, moved the SEAMONKEY_1_1_18_RELEASE tag on that file and restarted Windows builds.
I think I won't renew the source tarballs for this as those using the tarballs are usually not using the Windows installer.

Comment 5

[Robert Kaiser]

Testing seems enough and no problems reported since I posted the renewed Windows builds. Therefore, I pushed the files to public FTP now, official release should follow in a few hours.

[Robert Kaiser]

Website changes pushed online, we can consider this done.
