Bugzilla Bug 182896

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




list of all the nss (ver 3.11.5) command line utils:
addbuiltin  certcgi    cmsutil   derdump   mangle    oidcalc    p7verify 
sdrtest    signtool  symkeyutil   atob        certutil   crlutil   digest   
libplc4.so   minigzip  p7content  pk12util  selfserv   signver   tstclnt  
bltest   checkcert  crmftest  example   modutil   p7env      pp        server  
  ssltap    vfychain   btoa        client     dbtest    fipstest  makepqg     
ocspclnt  p7sign     rsaperf   shlibsign  strsclnt  vfyserv

thats important for me too!

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...
