Hey, KaiRo, when you talk here about machines for further SM 2.0.x
updates, and elsewhere about machines for 64bit Linux builds, are these
machines under the full time control of the SeaMonkey Council, or are
they Mozilla owned machines that the SM council gets occasional access
to??
Mozilla-owned machines that are dedicated to working for the SeaMonkey
project. Currently those are a few Mac minis and a few VMs for Windows
and Linux, but Mozilla has ordered a few more Mac minis and physical
machines for Windows and Linux for us, right now it's a question of
getting them mounted in racks and set up, as far as I understand. This
should get done in the next weeks. We will see if that's enough to
increase Linux64 support. Callek will work on that.
I really don't understand how there can be enough build resource to build
Linux64 for several versions on a daily basis and not enough to build one for a
release. I would hope your package system can build a set of tar.gz, RPM, deb,
etc from the compiled binaries and spit them back without recompiling.
I also think that major Linux releases, like Fedora, SuSE, and Ubuntu would
build the packages if you pushed the release source to them with an email to do
the build. Fedora has been very good about building when I report a new version
available.
Of course, I took the easy way out and just run a daily, then update
occasionally. For the most part the bugs are getting down in the noise.

We are not out of the woods yet, but we know the direction and have
taken the first step. The steps are many, but finite in number, and if
we persevere we will reach our destination. -me, 2010
