250697 - 474 ;Things that aren't packaged and why (or not why)

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: Installer, defect, P5)

Description

[timeless]

windows accessibility support (ask aaronlev) - does os/2 have anything like that ;-?
475 ;accproxy.dll - I don't know
476 ;accessproxy.xpt - I don't know

probably included w/ something else:
477 ;htmlparser.xpt - I don't know

interfaceinfo
<http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/extensions/webservices/interfaceinfo/readme.html>
478 ;iiextras.dll - I don't know
479 ;iiextras.xpt - I don't know

scriptable way to open whatever is the jsconsole, i'm not sure why you wouldn't
package it. it doesn't look like the scriptable bits are used internally, but
some consumer (certainly some non public consumer) may want to use it.
480 ;jsconsole.xpt - I don't know

p3p - people hate it :)
482 ;p3p.dll - I don't know
483 ;p3p.xpt - I don't know

accessibility doesn't apply for OS/2.

jsconsole.xpt makes no sense:

http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/search?string=jsconsole.xpt

It's only packaged for static and embedding.

We do package p3p, so that can be removed

iiextras doesn't appear to exist anymore - the only reference is in a
makefile.in that uses a MOZ_WSP ifdef that doesn't exist anymore.

htmlparser.xpt is another strange one - 

http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/search?string=htmlparser.xpt

some people package it, some don't

it's packaged for thunderbird

ok, the htmlparser one has me stumped

the windows removal of it would seem to indicate someone is gluing it into some
other library.

the source seems to imply it's only composed of nsIExpatSink.idl which doesn't
seem to be something even worth squabling over.

and of course, i can't find any indication that it's glued into something. but
it's late and i'm tired.

OK, so the only three file left in question are:

;Things that aren't packaged and why (or not why)
;htmlparser.xpt - I don't know
;jsconsole.xpt - I don't know
;plugin.xpt - I don't know

jsconsole.xpt appears to be a mechanism for embedders to open the js console.

Comment 5

[Peter Weilbacher]

Since the last comment on this bug the packages-os2 file has undergone several revisions and even though nobody knows why htmlparser.xpt and plugin.xpt are not included, I don't think we have found any bugs because of this. Note that also the work in bug 302444 that synchronized the necessary entries for all platforms has not included them. I think we are OK, even though more work is going on in bug 382505.

Marking WFM.
