386909 - clean up mail/config (remove repackaging stuff)

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Build Config, defect)

Description

[Robert Kaiser]

When looking where communicator stuff is used (for bug 386908), I ran across the scary scripts for repacking Thunderbird in mail/config.

From what I see, this is all unused though, and actually everything but mozconfig and version.txt can be removed from that dir, as well as the reference in mail/makefiles.sh

I'd be happy to do this removal if it's OK with Thunderbird devs ;-)

Apparently http://bonsai.mozilla.org/cvslog.cgi?file=/mozilla/mail/Makefile.in&rev=HEAD&mark=1.7 (bug 245430) got rid of using those files.

Attachment: remove config/Makefile from makefiles.sh

This is the only needed change outside mail/config itself.
I'll take review for this patch to also be a review for removing the following files from mail/config:
basemail-os2
basemail-unix
GenerateManifest.pm
gen_mn.pl
installed-chrome.txt
mail-jar.mn
mail-locales.manifest
Makefile.in
qute-jar.mn

Only mozconfig and version.txt will be left over in this subdirectory.

r=philringnalda, make the bad things go away, before I blindly patch them again ;)

Thanks, checked in (after recovering from a conflict of my delete with another checkin to the bogus beasemail-unix file ;-)

Lol, mscott patched them most often since he made them unused himself:
http://bonsai.mozilla.org/cvsquery.cgi?branch=HEAD&dir=mozilla%2Fmail%2Fconfig&file=mozconfig%7Cversion.txt&filetype=notregexp&sortby=Date&date=explicit&mindate=2004-07-18+14%3A48
(+190/294) Lines changed.
