This is a regression caused by bug 593328. +ifeq (browser,$(MOZ_BUILD_APP)) PARALLEL_DIRS = hudservice \ $(NULL) +endif If hudservice is Firefox specific it should live in browser. Otherwise it needs to be enabled and shipped in xulrunner to provide everything needed by Firefox.

The solution here is to build toolkit/components/console/hudservice (going off of memory here) in tier_app and change the hudservice loading location.

Ideally, we'd either have a web console that works as a real toolkit component (ideally), or move it into browser/ (not so good but still clean), but I think doing any of those is a post-FF4 target only, as we need to get a release done. For now, I guess the slightly hacky solution of Kyle is probably the best thing we can do there.

AIUI the eventual goal is to make the webconsole a toolkit component. If that's not true, perhaps we should bite the bullet and move it to browser/ now. Regardless, this needs to block at least final.

Actually, I believe that the console has been slated to be moved to browser/ for some time now. Following up in #devtools to make sure.

Yup, bug 579909.

At this point in the cycle, we are not going to move the code in the source tree. But I don't see any reason we shouldn't move the code into tier_app right now. Is there a reason I'm missing?

The new location of HUDService.jsm makes this an extension-visible change, needs to block beta7 and land on the relbranch.

Landed on default http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/3880abf71fc2 and GECKO_20b7pre_20101006_RELBRANCH http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/329afdc371fb

we *really* could have used a little warning before this landed.

My apologies, I thought everyone working on this stuff was CCd.
