746545 - remove duplicate mozinfo.py files

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Testing :: Mozbase, defect)

Description

[Joel Maher ( :jmaher ) (UTC -8)]

we have two instances of mozinfo:
m-c/build/mozinfo.py
m-c/testing/mozbase/mozinfo/mozinfo/mozinfo.py

Currently the build/mozinfo.py script is used in xpcshell automation.  We need to fix the makefiles that reference mozinfo.py to use the location in mozbase.  In a perfect world, we would convert xpcshell to run in a virtualenv as we do for other tests.

Let's remove the one in build/. Running xpcshell-tests from the objdir should use the virtualenv one just fine. We'll have to fix the xpcshell test packaging to package the copy from testing/mozbase (until we figure out a better solution for the virtualenv in the test package).

Attachment: use mozinfo from testing/mozbase

simple patch to just do the file copying.  In the near future we will want to use the virtualenv for running the tests and then we won't need all the file copying.

we need to add -I in these two spots:

There's already a bug filed on the bustage, just patch it there.
