1430023 - Get rid of the remaining code bits about localstore.rdf and rdf in general

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core Graveyard :: RDF, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Marco Bonardo [:mak]]

localstore.rdf is gone from some time (Firefox 34), so it sounds like we could get rid of:

1. the migration code from xulstore and the code supporting it.
2. if we didn't yet also remove the file from the profile with a migration
3. There's also an animals.rdf file that I'm not sure what's about (probably testing) and can be removed.
4.  I also think (to be verified) the rdf/datasource folder may not be needed anymore?
5. NS_APP_LOCALSTORE_50_FILE, NS_LOCALSTORE_UNSAFE_FILE
6. https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/search?q=localstore.rdf&path=

bug 1425356 stopped using animals.rdf, but didn't remove the file.

Not sure about the other stuff.

Disclaimer, I'm not sure if this bug is well-served by being in the RDF component, as nobody works here. All lights are out. That said, if you know someone that intends to work on this, I don't mind this bug being here.

I'd also appreciate help with the triage. RDF bugs are generally P5 or WONTFIX, unless there's an out-of-RDF-land priority.

good to know!

It blocks the kill rdf bug, that is all we need, people interested in that project will look at its dependencies, there's interest in removals of old tech like XBL/XUL/RDF in general, so I'm not worried.

I agree, removal bugs should likely be P3 (backlog), anything affecting TB or comm-central could be P5. Anything else wontfix.

Hi Kris, why was this resolved when some of the code points in comment 0 still exist?

Comment 4

[Kris Maglione [:kmag]]

I deleted every reference to RDF I could find in bug 833098 and nothing seemed to break. Please reopen if I missed something, but perhaps remove it as a blocker.

Comment 5

[Marco Bonardo [:mak]]

Ah yeah, not a blocker, it's mostly about unused leftovers referring to localstore.rdf (though I don't know if comm-central may use any of those). Anyway, I'm reopening and inverting the dependencies.
