Description David Stutzman 2007-06-22 14:51:33 UTC
Would it be possible to add the NSS command line utilities to portage?  The dev-libs/nss ebuild only installs the libraries (as one would expect from the name) but I would greatly appreciate having all the command-line utilities available as well (pk12util, certutil, modutil, etc).  The source for all of them is included in the normal source tarball that is downloaded for the dev-libs ebuild.  They are even built and end up in /var/tmp/portage/dev-libs/nss-3.11.5/work/nss-3.11.5/mozilla/security/dist/Linux2.6_x86_64_glibc_PTH_64_OPT.OBJ/bin
when the dev-libs/nss after the compile stage of the ebuild.  They would just need to be copied into a system bin path.  I don't know enough about how the ebuilds are done, maybe just a new use flag or something to decide whether to copy them?

Reproducible: Always

I added it to nss-3.11.7, with the utils USE-flag, note that i prefixed them with 'nss' in the filename, so they don't collide with other packages. Having a binary called example, digest, or client it's not very good...
