Spun off from bug 915838 comment 19: Third, I think we should consider moving some JSM's around, especially addon-related ones. resource://gre/modules/ at the top level is getting kind of crowded, and I think certain modules should be in subdirectories of that to distinguish "public" modules (those others are supposed to use) from "private" modules (which addon users should avoid talking to directly). -- Obvious candidates: AddonLogging.jsm AddonRepository.jsm AddonRepository_SQLiteMigrator.jsm AddonUpdateChecker.jsm XPIProvider.jsm XPIProviderUtils.js I've also filed bug 952304 for an addon-supporting module, JSONStore.jsm. That might be a good one to put in a subdirectory as well.

needinfo? to Unfocused to lay out a roadmap. Given a roadmap, I can write up a patch fairly quickly (we're talking straight file moves).

Ugh, sorry I couldn't get to this before my break. Modules to make private: AddonLogging.jsm AddonRepository.jsm AddonRepository_SQLiteMigrator.jsm AddonUpdateChecker.jsm LightweightThemeImageOptimizer.jsm PluginProvider.jsm SpellCheckDictionaryBootstrap.js XPIProvider.jsm XPIProviderUtils.js Lets move them to, say, /toolkit/mozapps/extensions/internal/ And have them accessible via resource://gre/modules/addons/ Which is achievable via setting JS_MODULES_PATH in moz.build

AddonRepository.jsm is an odd-duck, in the grey area between being considered public and private. But in practice, it's so very rarely ever used outside of the Add-ons Manager. It's used by only 3 addons on AMO, so lets consider it private and just mark this bug as addon-compat and see if we can get those add-ons updated.

Comment on attachment 8356965 [details] [diff] [review] Move some addon-private JSM's to a subdirectory. Review of attachment 8356965 [details] [diff] [review]: ----------------------------------------------------------------- Finally slogging through my huge backlog of non-Australis reviews. Thankfully there's only minimal bitrot here. Things look a lot cleaner around the place after this patch :) This prompted me to file bug 973752 and bug 973757 for some additional cleanup.

By the sound of things, I assume whoever's checking this in can handle the bitrot?

Doesn't apply cleanly to fx-team. Please rebase.

Unbitrotten, and also removed an unneeded define from each of the moz.build files. https://hg.mozilla.org/integration/fx-team/rev/400723105403

Backed out in https://hg.mozilla.org/integration/fx-team/rev/a9af498c077d - an impressive toll, but for truly record breaking bustage it would need to not only break all mochitests, reftests, and crashtests, like it did, but also break every flavor of talos and marionette (we haven't had a record breaker since we started doing Cpp tests separate from make check on the build machines, so you don't yet need to break them too for a record).

Sorry, Blair - I would've gotten to the rebase sooner, but I've recently had dental surgery and I am recovering.

No worries :) This is why I'm here. Er, and other reasons too, presumably... Bored on a Saturday night, may as well figure out why this broke the world.

*sigh* Missed a line when fixing bitrot. Waiting for a Try push to go green before I shoot myself in the face again: https://tbpl.mozilla.org/?tree=Try&rev=5c479251318b

Try revealed I also missed updating a new test. https://hg.mozilla.org/integration/fx-team/rev/70df8261030a
