One thing I should point out is that binary components in B2G are NOT user installable. Instead, binaries components are used by companies building FirefoxOS devices.
For example, Qualcomm has some special implementation for Geolocation and the radio interface layer (RIL). When a company wants to build a FirefoxOS device on Qualcomm hardware, Qualcomm hands them a bunch of binaries. These binaries obviously aren’t compiled into LIBXUL and thus we need XPCOM to continue looking for and loading binary components. I hope this helps. > On May 5, 2015, at 9:19 AM, Benjamin Smedberg <benja...@smedbergs.us> wrote: > > B2G has asked that binary component support be restored for > distribution/bundles only, and that is being done in bug 1161212. _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
