240099 - could we move history into tier_9 (mozilla/embedding/qa/testembed/nsihttpchanneltests.cpp depends on nsIHistory) ala shistory

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(SeaMonkey :: Build Config, defect)

Description

[timeless]

this is a general and recurring problem, things need history, as they needed 
session history

tier_9 has:
		xpfe/components/shistory \
before
		embedding \

if it also had xpfe/components/history, then this part of 
mozilla/embedding/qa/testembed would build

testembed's requires line includes history, and it would build if you built it 
at some other time.

(personally i'm going to make mozilla/embedding/qa build in tier_99 instead)

No.

the interfaces for global history are already in tier 9
(docshell/base/nsIGlobalHistory/nsIGlobalHistory2). nsIBrowserHistory is forked
and cannot live in tier 9.

Really, many of the test suites should be built in tier 99, to avoid this sort
of problem.
