Once again as I must have missed the original proposal to separate the packages, why are we doing it? Here's the questions I have. 1. What is wrong with leaving them together? Hopefully it isn't because we have to use a 5 month old tarball. I say this because it will probably be a year or more after the book is updated before it is updated again. So whatever versions we put in the book will be just as obsolete 6 months from now. It looks to me that the NSS devs put out a new release about every 6 months (for the last few years this has been the pattern). So, going on this, and because an NSS-3.12.1-RC2 is available in CVS, a new release of NSS is right around the corner. 2. Are there no test suites in the individual packages to somewhat confirm a working installation (as we have now). 3. Current Firefox uses NSPR 4.7.1 and the NSS-3.12.1 RC. This is different than both of the versions DJ used. Seems the combined tarball is much closer to what the Firefox devs are using, than what is being developed for BLFS. I'm not trying to rock the boat, I just want to get a good handle on our reasoning to separate these two packages. I realize that *right now* there is some lag in NSS, but in a week or two that is likely to be resolved. I could be wrong here, as I've not tested anything or built Firefox-3.0.4 yet. I may later in the day. Got other things going on right now though. Additional conversation about this is welcomed. -- Randy -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
