There are no current plans on this, don't expect any movement here. This is no meta bug though, this is neither a current target of the SeaMonkey team nor anything else than a last step that might be possible somewhere in the future.

The real tracker of progress is the query of open bugs in the SeaMonkey integration component in the lightning product.

Comment 2

[Worcester12345]

I think it is time this got going again.

Comment 3

[Robert Kaiser]

For one thing, this is nothing that should affect Lightning planning at all, and for the other, with the current slow going of the calendar project as a whole, SeaMonkey will not do this any time soon.

Comment 4

[cheesus]

This would be a great new years day resolution for somebody :-)
Every new release of either Lightning and/or Seamonkey does seem to break the integration,
so this would be a perfect candidate for inclusion within Seamonkey (for now).
Of course Seamonkey, in the history of Mozilla Suite, is the classic 
Browser-Mailer-Composer-IRC thing ... 
...but it's 2013 now and this could positively affect Seamonkey adoption...
Cheers, Tom.

Comment 5

[Xavier Vincent]

I agree with Cheesus (and I miss the calendar bundled with Netscape Communicator). ;-)

Comment 6

[Robert Kaiser]

I doubt someone on the current, small, all-volunteer team of the SeaMonkey project has time to work on this, same with the even-smaller, also all-volunteer Lightning team.

But feel free to make things smoother and try working with both team towards a possibly future inclusion.

Comment 7

[Philip Chee]

In other words if you want something done here, you need to volunteer (or find/persuade people to volunteer to work on this.

I would say this is PRECISELY the reason for this bug. If this were rolled into the main product, there is less bureaucracy, less builds to maintain, less servers running, and all can concentrate on one product.

Actually, we've already come to a minimum of all of these even without the integration. Integrating it into Seamonkey and Thunderbird does not mean we have less builds, nor less servers. It might mean a little less support questions though.

Anyway, without making any firm promises, we are attempting to make a form of Integration for Thunderbird happen in Thunderbird 38, and hope to do the same with the respective Seamonkey.

Attachment: calendar_integration_into_sm_v0.1.patch

Attached is a basic patch to integrate Lightning into SeaMonkey, which is based on the Thunderbird work from bug 1130854 and "just made to work", so it is most likely far away from being ready.

Since I could not figure out, how to force the build to take the localized build of Lightning in case of a localized SeaMonkey build, I did just a hack for that by copying the localized lightning xpi file to the l10n-stage dir.

This patch works for me on Windows x64. I didn't try it yet on other platforms nor did I try to see, if it doesn't break building without lightning.

In the meantime I had the opportunity to test it on Linux32&64 as well as Windows32&64, where it works without problems so far: builds using that patch can be found e.g. here: https://l10n.mozilla-community.org/~akalla/unofficial/seamonkey/nightly/

BTW. The part of the patch which affects the mozconfigs is already a bit bitrotted, but can easily be fixed.

Worcester12345, are you bored that you start playing with keywords again?
"mail-integration" is for Thunderbird, which is completely not affected here.

I was going by the "official" (whatever that is) description:
mail-integration 	Used for Calendar bugs that would have benefit for Thunderbird (i.e., adding ids, great features that would improve user experience)

Did this somehow not meet that criteria? How so?

Comment 17

[rsx11m]

> https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=8617326&action=diff

Because that patch doesn't do anything of those in Calendar or Thunderbird.
The only changes made here affect suite/ and thus are restricted to SeaMonkey.

Comment 18

[Worcester12345]

Should "product" be changed from "Calendar" to "Seamonkey" then?

Comment 19

[rsx11m]

Probably, given that this is mostly about building SeaMonkey with Lightning as an extension.

Comment 20

[Worcester12345]

How up to date, or out of date, is the existing patch?

It is a bit out of date... I keep a working one here: https://bitbucket.org/adrianer/seamonkey-build/raw/default/bug516026_integrate_lightning-installers.patch (the changes to the mozconfigs are separated here: https://bitbucket.org/adrianer/seamonkey-build/raw/default/bug516026_integrate_lightning-mozconfigs.patch as they break pretty often - so this second patch is definitely at least bitrotted).

I've tested the latest version, the only issue I found so far was that Lightning was disabled as default. This was with a new profile. Is this expected?
I still need to do some further testing.

No, this is not to be expected. But I've tested it with my today's build from here: https://l10n.mozilla-community.org/~akalla/unofficial/seamonkey/nightly/latest-comm-aurora-linux64/ and it works as expected with a newly created profile: Lightning is activated.

The patch did not change lately... Did you test on c-c? If yes, then maybe something there did break something...

I see now your observation on c-c - it seems like some extensions (Lightning and the Modern-theme) on c-c are recognized now as being "foreign installed":

1459858905839   addons.xpi-utils        WARN    Disabling foreign installed add-on {e2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103} in app-global
1459858905865   addons.xpi-utils        WARN    Disabling foreign installed add-on [e-mail] in app-global

Does anyone here know which (Firefox-/Core-)bug did introduce this and how to workaround this for our both cases?

Looks like this is expected behavior on nightly - see bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1159499#c1 .

The mozconfigs patch is also, like the base patch, completely based on the original Tb-patch.

Should it be noted over there that there are SM implications also?

Comment 29

Attachment: Clipboard.jpg

If it's supposed to always be shipped couldn't we just put

>> # Include Lightning
>> MOZ_CALENDAR=1

in confvars.sh instead of 'ac_add_options --enable-calendar'?

In my Windows x64 2.45a1 from today the files 
 calendar-timezones-2.2016c.xpi
 gdata-provider-2.9a1.en-US.win64.xpi

were also compiled and can be found in dist/xpi-stage but are not put into the nsis installer. I think this also happens with Thunderbird. I didn't find any trace of these in TBs build configuration files.

If I press otions in about:addons Seamonkey hangs but this might be a different bug. See screenshot for the location. Using Options button from the Extensions list works.

There was some opt-out UI added on Thunderbird's side which probably should be ported to SeaMonkey, given that it's installing itself by default and not everybody wants that.

Comment 31

[rsx11m]

(but then, we don't have an opt-out dialog for ChatZilla either...)

For the moment we still need to give people a simple way not to build with lightning. We can revisit this at a later point.

I'm fairly sure I saw an opt-out with a new profile.

Is this by design?

Comment 36

[Philipp Kewisch [:Fallen][📱📆]]

I don't know much about the NSIS installer, but Lightning files being in dist/xpi-stage is by design, this is also how other addons built by the build system work. The files should also be in dist/bin/extensions (on non-release builds only), in dist/bin/distribution/extensions (on release builds only), and on mac in dist/Appname.app/Contents/Resources/extensions/

There is an opt-out that should get shown the first time it is installed as a distribution extension.

A small nitpick, but in the screenshot/clip, it says it is a calendar for Thunderbird. I would think the "Thunderbird" should be removed in the wording, since this is a different product. Just putting it out there. Thanks.

That's coming from Lightning itself and would have to be changed in their code,

Also does not work for me when using the button in location from the screen shot. Using "Options" directly from the addons-list works for me. Nonetheless: this is a Lightning bug and has nothing to do with the default-integration into SeaMonkey here.


IanN: thx for the review. Now we need to check this into c-c and if possible also c-a and c-b (I think this was well enough tested by now to do it this way).

Works for me on trunk (comes with Lightning 5.1a1) and aurora (5.0a2) nightly builds on Linux, and a beta tinderbox build (where SM 2.44 interestingly comes with 4.7.1 bundled, but seems to work).

BTW: That's a bit subtle and shows up as a notification bar in the message preview pane when opening the Mail & News window, boxed in between thread pane, folder pane, and Lightning's today pane. Just as a heads-up for anyone expecting a large dialog to pop up. ;-)

Comment 46

[Worcester12345]

Has anything changed with regards to the status of "Integrate Lightning Into SeaMonkey by Default and Ship SeaMonkey with Lightning Enabled"?

Is this still OK for 2.46 and 2.49?

Comment 47

[rsx11m]

Yes and no - it's set up and working, except that the build system for the localized (l10n) releases encountered a regression, consequently SeaMonkey 2.46 couldn't be built with /any/ extension bundled (including DOM Inspector and ChatZilla). It may be the same for 2.48, thus we will have to see if a solution for this issue is coming up on the horizon any time soon.

Comment 48

[Worcester12345]

So, should this bug be reopened, with whatever that bug is as a dependency? Thank you.

Comment 49

[rsx11m]

No, completely different issue (especially as it affects all bundled extensions).
Bug 1231349 - L10n repacks broken on with SM 2.42 and newer.

I think they were working on something like that for Thunderbird. It should be added here as well.
