For SeaMonkey 2.2 we'll want Major Updates to come from 1.9.1 (SeaMonkey 2.0)

This bug is intended to track that.

Firefox is preparing 3.6.19 and 5.0.1 chemspill releases due to Mac-specific issues. Assuming that this may imply a SM 2.2.1 respin as well, should the MU be delayed for 2.0.x -> 2.2.1 instead?

The chemspill is only for a Mac OS X 10.7 issue, and I don't think enough SeaMonkey users will upgrade that fast to need this - but ultimately, it's Callek's call.

I was already thinking about this, and long story short -- unless new data flows in to cause me to change my mind, we will not be spinning a 2.2.1. I'll send details to the members list/newsgroups this week.

Data: Lion is scheduled to be released in July and IIUC the "upgrade" costs $29.99.

How fast will SM users upgrade to 10.7? No idea, but you can upgrade through Appstore (which is reachable from a menuitem in the OS).

BTW, do we take into account that 2.0 runs on 10.4, but 2.2 doesn't?

Yes, we should not offer updates there. If someone has a 10.4 system around to test, I'd be happy to see if that works, though.

I'll be happy to test - I have access to an iMac with 10.4.

Karsten tested for me on betatest channel the first time through here. If you want to test on the beta update channel that would be great!

(easiest way to do that, download 2.0b3 (new profile) let it update, THEN let it update again (simply help->check for updates)

Works fine. I downloaded 2.0b2 (yes, no b3), then did "help --> check for updates" and got 2.0.14 (I checked the update channel in about:config and I was on "beta"). Then I did another check for updates and the result was "No updates found".
