We need to remove powerplant from seamonkey - at least from the non-app
libraries.  I (Joe Francis) will kick things off by rewriting the timer code to
not use LPeriodical.

Anyone reading this should feel free to add new description to this bug report
describing other places we need to "unplant".

joe, what is the schedule for doing this?
added JJ Enser to list.

the change as i understand it is fairly trivial. we just stop building the
powerplant library.
The schedule is "soon".  Today or tomorrow.

Powerplant is gone.  Affected parts of the tree are base, widget, netlib, and
viewer, and also the NGLayoutBuildList.pm script.

I have posted a note to n.p.m.mac about it, along with advice for those who were
using the pieces of PowerPlant that I just removed.
I'm not quite sure how QA can verify this. ;)

----

Simon/Steve/Mike/Chris/(et al ;), would one of you be open to marking this
verified, if you can definitively validate (or just vouch for? ;) that the MW
Powerplant stuff is totally out of Seamonkey?

Thanks!

It's out. We no longer build it. Verified.
It depends on what one means by "totally out of".

There is a dependency on Powerplant header files (but not on the powerplant lib)
in viewer.  There may be header dependencies in other places - don't know for
sure.  But we don't need to build a powerplant library anymore - nothing links
against it.

although we don't use powerplant anymore Caps.mcp don't build unless PowerPlant
source are installed (because xpassert.h include
PP_Type.h and UException.h). Can someone clean it up ?

This also keeps us from building without exceptions.

Actually, xpassert.h should not be included.  You should be using nsDebug.h
instead.  Nothing starting with xp should be in the build any more, including
xp_file and xpassert.

targetting m5, cc ftang. where is xpassert.h being included in current code?  who
should get this bug?
I reassigned this bug to scc last month because it was somewhat related to the
removal of C++ exceptions and he's already on top of that.
Target Milestone: M5 → M7
moving to M7 as per discussion with choffman
Target Milestone: M7 → M10
This is not high enough priority to delay fixing my other bugs for.  I'm moving
this one out to M10 ... and the bulk of the work can't happen till the next
release of the CodeWarrior tools anyway.
Target Milestone: M10 → M11
Moving to M11 per today's bug triage.
Target Milestone: M11 → M16
No visible effect to users.  Not dogfood.

Removing the last of the PowerPlant header files is now part of the `conversion 
to Pro5' bug.  Therefor, marking this bug a duplicate.
