495612 - make packages current and nicer for static, update removed-files

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Installer, defect)

Description

[Robert Kaiser]

There are some slight adjustments to do to make packages files current, a few ifdefs to add so that static builds produce less noise, and a removed-files update for the static builds (probably also ifdef'd).

Comment 1

Some notes while researching what I find in the package-compare diffs:

- sessionstore.xpt doesn't exist because we have this info in suitecommon.xpt.
- necko_wifi.xpt was added to Mozilla/FF in bug 479898, we forgot to add it with network geolocation provider.
- mozlcms seems to not exist anywhere, may be an old remnant.
- msgbsutl.dll seems to be linked into static mail and from what I see we don't support non-static mail in our package files (unix doesn't have libmsgbsutil.so).
- res/entityTables/ and res/fonts/ are included with a star, don't need explicit entries in the packages file.
- nsProgressDialog.js _could_be dead, Firefox isn't packaging it, but Neil says it *might* still be used by FTP upload (if that would work). Not touch it in this bug for now, we need to investigate that elsewhere.
- helperAppDlg.xpt isn't actually generated anywhere.
- chromelist.txt has been dead for a while
- Not sure why a few components were kept as special entries out of normal order, that was useless.
- suite.dll is apparently NOT linked into the static binary right now, probably need to file a followup (same for libsuite.so).
- wlltvwrs.dll is dead
- xpinstal.dll is also not linked into the static binary (same for libxpinstall.so).
- A few other I would have expected (like xpcom) are also not linked into the main static binary.
- regxpcom doesn't need to be shipped any more.
- Not sure if we still need to keep [xpcom] as a separate section, but leaving as that would need installer changes as well, I guess. Could just empty that section and leave it to a followup to remove it from the file and the installer.
- Some unexplained differences in order between unix and windows, I cared to make them more similar.
- libdbusservice.so isn't linked into the static binary (same for libmozgnome.so and libnkgnomevfs.so).
- neither is libimgicon.so? (Windows version is!) - same for libjsd.so

- there is no mailnews.xpt

Attachment: clean up packaging and make things work for static builds

This does all the work, including everything I commented on here before.
I haven't tested Windows, Linux looks good in both shared and static config. removed-files can unfortunately only be tested really well with auto-update MARs with it inside being applied (tries to remove any files listed there before applying the update).
