446687 - Fix old Widget/Gfx components

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(bugzilla.mozilla.org :: Administration, task)

Description

[Vladimir Vukicevic [:vlad] [:vladv] (needinfo me, slow to respond)]

Need a few changes:

"GFX: Thebes" should be renamed "Graphics"

"GFX" should be renamed "GFX: Obsolete" (for eventual removal, but need to go through the bugs there)

"GFX: Win32", "GFX: Mac", "GFX: BeOS", "GFX: Gtk", "GFX: Photon", "GFX: OS/2", "GFX: Xlib" should be removed.

"Widget: Mac", "Widget: Xlib" should be removed.

We can't delete components as long as there are bugs (of any state) in them...

[Vladimir Vukicevic [:vlad] [:vladv] (needinfo me, slow to respond)]

ok, can we merge them all into "Obsolete: GFX"?

Comment 3

[Vladimir Vukicevic [:vlad] [:vladv] (needinfo me, slow to respond)]

(Not GFX: Obsolete mind you, the old GFX)

[Reed Loden [:reed]]

gerv, put this on the next reorg.

Comment 5

[Gervase Markham [:gerv]]

Vlad: a solution more fitting with practice in the recent reorg would be to move all these obsolete components into the "Core Graveyard" product. Would that be acceptable?

That's what I've put on 
https://wiki.mozilla.org/BMO_Reorg_Phase_2
for the moment.

I've put "GFX" down for moving to the Graveyard, without a rename, as well as the others - you can still triage the bugs into other components when it's there, so it won't prevent what you want to do.

Yep, that's perfect -- I didn't realize we were going to have a Core Graveyard, so that's even better.

I think we should keep Widget:Mac until we retire Firefox 2, personally.

Comment 8

[Steffen Wilberg]

Bug 461546 has moved these from "Core" to "Core Graveyard":
      * "GFX"
      * "GFX: Win32"
      * "GFX: Mac"
      * "GFX: BeOS"
      * "GFX: Gtk"
      * "GFX: Photon"
      * "GFX: OS/2"
      * "GFX: Xlib"
      * "Widget: Xlib"

This is still waiting to be done:
Rename "GFX: Thebes" to "Graphics"

If this gets done, it will be by justdave as part of the b.m.o. reorg phase 2 (bug 461546).

Done.

Bug 530151 finally took care of moving Widget:Mac, which somehow got overlooked by bug 461546.
