530151 - Widget:Mac needs to be moved to Core Graveyard

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

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

Description

Widget:Mac somehow escaped the relocation of old components to Core:Graveyard.  People keep filing or moving bugs there, and no one is watching the components (Sam and I make passes through it every so often), so important bugs can and do get lost, as has been happening since Cocoa Widgets were made the default for everyone on the trunk well before Firefox 3.

Technically Tb 2.0.0.x is still supported and uses the old Mac widgets, but I doubt any new 1.8.1 branch bugs filed there are going to be fixed, anyway.

We should move this component to Core:Graveyard ASAP.

Yep, none of the hypothetical Thunderbird people working on 2.x support would ever triage widget: mac, or even realize that they should.

[timeless]

Moved from Core to Core Graveyard
Component:  	Widget: Mac
Component Description: 	Mapping of cross platform widget interfaces to Mac platform APIs.

Please note that it escaped because we didn't really retire any of the widget bits (the exception was Xlib and that died independently iirc)

There are only 60-some bugs left there, so I don't think they hypothetically missed anything (other than all the awesome Widget:Cocoa bugs). ;-)

Xlib was retired in the great-reorg phase 2 (bug 461546); according to bug 446687, Widget:Mac was supposed to have been on that list, but it got overlooked.  Anyway, it's dead, Jim.  Thanks.
