# The removed-files.in file specifies files and directories to be removed during
# an application update that are not automatically removed by the application
# update process. The application update process handles the vast majority of
# file and directory removals automatically so this file should not be used in
# the vast majority of cases.
# When to use removed-files.in file to remove files and directories:
# * Files and directories located in the installation's "distribution/" and
# "extensions/" directories that were added before Thunderbird 27. Files and
# directories located in these directories were not included in the
# application update file removals for a complete update prior to Thunderbird 27.
# * Empty directories that were accidentally added to the installation
# directory.
# * Third party files and directories that were added to the installation
# directory. Under normal circumstances this should only be done after release
# drivers have approved the removal of these third party files.
# If you are not sure whether a file or directory should be removed using the
# removed-files.in file please contact one of the developers that work on
# application update.
# Note: the "distribution/" and "browser/extensions/" directories should never
# be removed recursively since these directories are used by Partner builds and
# custom installations.
# To specify a file to be removed add the path to the file.
# * If the file doesn't exist the update will succeed.
# * If the file exists and can't be removed (e.g. the file is locked) the
# update will fail.
#
# Example: path/to/file
# To specify a directory to be removed only if it is empty add the path to the
# directory with a trailing forward slash.
# * If the directory doesn't exist the update will succeed.
# * If the directory can't be removed (e.g. the directory is locked, contains
# files, etc.) the update will succeed.
#
# Example: path/to/dir/
# To specify a directory that should be recursively removed add the path to the
# directory with a trailing forward slash and "*".
# * If the directory doesn't exist the update will succeed.
# * If all of the files the directory contains can be removed but the directory
# or a subdirectory can't be removed (e.g. the directory is locked) the update
# will succeed.
# * If a file within the directory can't be removed the update will fail.
#
# Example: path/to/dir/*
# Due to Apple macOS packaging requirements files that are in the same
# directory on other platforms must be located in different directories on
# macOS. The following defines allow specifying the macOS bundle
# location which will also work on other platforms.
#
# @DIR_MACOS@
# Equals Contents/MacOS/ on Mac OX X and is an empty string on other platforms.
#
# @DIR_RESOURCES@
# Equals Contents/Resources/ on Mac OX X and is an empty string on other
# platforms.
# An update watershed was required to update to SeaMonkey 2.53.x for LZMA and
# SHA384 support. This made it possible to delete all of the removal
# instructions in this file.
# Since then, the following were added:
# Remove unpacked lightning extension.
# Depending on the previous installed version it might reside in one of two
# different places.
