251541 - change "mozilla/calendar/sunbird/config" into "mozilla/calendar/config"

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Calendar :: General, defect)

Description

[Henrik Gemal]

Firefox has it's config in "mozilla/browser/config"
Thunderbird has it's config in "mozilla/mail/config"

Sunbird has it's config in "mozilla/calendar/sunbird/config"

Why do you include the name in the config path?

"mozilla/calendar/sunbird/config"
should be made into:
"mozilla/calendar/config"

this way we dont have to change the path when chaing name etc.

I think it is because the code that is used only by sunbird and not by mozilla
calendar is separated into the sunbird directory.  These options are for
building a standalone sunbird app.  They are not appropriate if you are building
a suite with mozilla calendar included.

I don't understand this comment:

When we need to change Sunbird into Sunfox etc...:)

IMO, WONTFIX or INVALID:
- We're not planning on changing names
- Even if we do we will keep the directory name and just change the application name
- The inconsistency is better be ignored for the sake of having all sunbird-only
files in one directory as stated in comment #1

PS. I liked the sunfox joke :)
