589942 - remove extensions/reporter from l10n.ini and filter.py

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox Build System :: General, defect)

Description

[:Gavin Sharp [email: [e-mail]]]

Since we no longer ship reporter (bug 572695), we should probably remove it from the l10n config files. I think this doesn't have much of an impact since the code isn't actually removed yet.

Let's check out what SeaMonkey wants to do with reporter, KaiRo?

Reporter should be removed from m-c completely and from SeaMonkey as well, of course. I don't think people really look at what gets dumped there anyhow.

Ok, filed a bug on SeaMonkey (bug 590487), and to get reporter hg removed after that (bug 590492).

The trick is, if we leave reporter in 'til then, localizers will actually get a notification to hg remove the code on their side, too.

If that's taking too long, we could just ignore reporter in l10n.ini and filter.py until then.

I removed l10n.ini/filter.py stuff from SeaMonkey as well when removing reporter there, as I think it's enough to warn localizers about it through Firefox, which has a lot more locales, including all that SeaMonkey has.
That said, we should be good for moving along with this!

I'm marking this FUTURE, as I'd rather not remove the signal to hg remove too soon.

Looks like this got removed at some stage (or maybe changed into webcompat-reporter), in any case, I believe this is WFM now.
