so, we have an entirely useless gfx2/ directory, which is most annoying
especially in lxr queries. it serves no purpose and does not get built.

it should be removed.

I agree that it should be removed. Is that OK with you, Kevin? I think you're
technically the owner.

Comment 2

[Kevin McCluskey (gone)]

I agree it should be removed.

biesi, if I were you I'd take that as an r=kmcclusk, sr=roc+moz and go ahead and
do it :-).

Comment 5

um, this module was there for a reason, and should not have been removed.  I am
the owner of this module.  File a seperate bug to remove it from lxr with
webtools or whatever.

I'll be relanding it soon.

Why don't YOU make sure it's not going to be in lxr and not pulled before you
reland it. (Yes, it was being pulled by at least some of us, and no I don't know
why.)

I'm also curious about why this has to land. Are you going to work on it?

Comment 8

[Stuart Parmenter]

If it was being pulled then your client.mk was very far out of date.

I may very well work on it at some point.  Maybe not for mozilla, but it
certainly has some useful stuff there.

If you're not working on it for Mozilla then it doesn't need to be in our CVS tree.

Before you reland this I'd like you to email drivers and staff and explain why
this should be in the Mozilla tree.
