163547 - cvs remove mozilla/modules/libnls

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 324140

(Core :: Internationalization, defect, P2)

Description

[timeless]

from bug 53764
tague landed it for the original mailnews landing (normandy), the only changes 
have been generic cleanups (mostly dmose and me, also some by cls).
the code is from taligent/ibm and no one really seems to know much about it or
have any good reasons to keep it.

can we cvs remove it?

I don't see libnls in mozilla/modules in the normal check out. But it IS in
mozilla cvs tree if people do a cvs co mozilla/modules/libnls
this is not good.
How can we remove it completely from mozilla cvs tree ?
If we only do a cvs remove, people can still do cvs co with -r to get it, right ?
Only the header file is there. But even that is not good.

well, you can talk to leaf to "rm -rf" the directory on the cvs server...

however... why do you want to remove it? and, did mozilla never need that code?
(in which case it's needed for checkouts by date of earlier revisions)

reassign to leaf since I cannot rm the cvs

to leaf's mozilla acct

we only want to rm the files if they were never used.  If we shipped a product
with it, we'll need to cvs remove them so they're still available if we need to
pull and build past releases.  are we sure these files were never used as part
of a mozilla or Netscape 6.x or 7.x release?
