Description Andy Wang 2005-01-25 09:49:47 UTC
The dev-util/jss ebuild is incomplete.  With the release of Java 1.5, one of the more common uses of jss is to allow the Java plug-in to access the browser's certificate keystore.  The jss ebuild builds everything (which includes the libjss.so portion) but only installs the jar file.

Perhaps libjss.so should be installed as well.

I'm at a loss as to how to do this properly though, as both firefox and mozilla can use libjss.so so building it into mozilla or firefox independently seems redundant.

Perhaps the solution is to install it externally and use an env.d file declaring LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /usr/lib/jss/lib or something like that.

thanks for your report, the ebuild now also installs libjss3.so. since there are a lot of different browsers it's nearly impossible to link the .so file automagically. instead i think a user who needs libjss has to do this on his own.
