Description Hanno Zysik (geki) 2006-01-26 06:37:36 UTC

Instead of shipping an own version of nss in their package use nss on system.

Thanks go to fedora developers.
http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/*checkout*/devel/firefox/firefox-1.5-with-system-nss.patch
http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/*checkout*/devel/mozilla/mozilla-1.7.12-with-system-nss.patch
http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/*checkout*/devel/thunderbird/firefox-1.5-with-system-nss.patch

Are there any other packages depending on this?

I am building firefox with the patch from fedora right now.
Btw, they seem to depend on nss-3.10 and nspr-4.6(.1). I bumped
that versions. No compile-time issues yet. I may be wrong.

I will add some patches to address Gentoo/Portage specifics.

hack to use pkg-config to get versions of nspr/nss

Gentoo does not ship nspr-config/nss-config.
So we just use pkg-config.

until such time nss and nspr are bumped in the tree we will not change over.

Comment 6 Jory A. Pratt 2006-01-26 13:46:13 UTC

Well I have managed to get the bump sooner then I expected. I am gonna test all the builds over next few days you can expect a mass commit on sunday of all mozilla related products with system nss/nspr

Comment 7 Jory A. Pratt 2006-02-05 05:09:32 UTC

Everything is pretty much in tree last few things will happen later.

Comment 8 Hanno Zysik (geki) 2006-02-07 15:37:25 UTC

I miss the hack for nspr/nss .m4 files upstream.
Neither in FILESDIR nor in firefox 1.5.0.1 patch collection.

If that hack is not applied it will silently enable the build of internal nspr/nss again.
