We need to remove powerplant from seamonkey - at least from the non-app libraries. I (Joe Francis) will kick things off by rewriting the timer code to not use LPeriodical. Anyone reading this should feel free to add new description to this bug report describing other places we need to "unplant".

adding build people to the cc list...

joe, what is the schedule for doing this?

added JJ Enser to list. the change as i understand it is fairly trivial. we just stop building the powerplant library.

The schedule is "soon". Today or tomorrow.

Powerplant is gone. Affected parts of the tree are base, widget, netlib, and viewer, and also the NGLayoutBuildList.pm script. I have posted a note to n.p.m.mac about it, along with advice for those who were using the pieces of PowerPlant that I just removed.

I'm not quite sure how QA can verify this. ;) ---- Simon/Steve/Mike/Chris/(et al ;), would one of you be open to marking this verified, if you can definitively validate (or just vouch for? ;) that the MW Powerplant stuff is totally out of Seamonkey? Thanks!

It's out. We no longer build it. Verified.

It depends on what one means by "totally out of". There is a dependency on Powerplant header files (but not on the powerplant lib) in viewer. There may be header dependencies in other places - don't know for sure. But we don't need to build a powerplant library anymore - nothing links against it.

Inserting Milestone info.

This also keeps us from building without exceptions.

adding scc to cc list

reassigned to scc

Actually, xpassert.h should not be included. You should be using nsDebug.h instead. Nothing starting with xp should be in the build any more, including xp_file and xpassert.

targetting m5, cc ftang. where is xpassert.h being included in current code? who should get this bug?

I reassigned this bug to scc last month because it was somewhat related to the removal of C++ exceptions and he's already on top of that.

moving to M7 as per discussion with choffman

This is not high enough priority to delay fixing my other bugs for. I'm moving this one out to M10 ... and the bulk of the work can't happen till the next release of the CodeWarrior tools anyway.

Moving to M11 per today's bug triage.

No visible effect to users. Not dogfood.

Removing the last of the PowerPlant header files is now part of the `conversion to Pro5' bug. Therefor, marking this bug a duplicate. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 25949 ***

Verified dupe.
