The more I think about this (I'm updating T-Bird right now so it is on my mind), I think we should abandon the installation of NSPR/NSS from the Xulrunner/Firefox/Thunderbird trees. It is a hassle keeping up with the patches, best I can tell it is currently broken, and I don't like the fact that we (as editors) are jumping through hoops to provide NSPR/NSS libs from packages that are not designed for this. The NSPR/NSS instructions work well, why do we need to provide alternate methods to build and install these libraries? I do; however, see the merit in what we are attempting because you could kill two birds with one stone if the NSS/NSPR libs are installed from the Xulrunner package. I sure don't like the hassle of keeping up with it though. -- Randy rmlscsi: [bogomips 1003.25] [GNU ld version 2.16.1] [gcc (GCC) 4.0.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.6] [Linux 2.6.14.3 i686] 09:10:01 up 13 days, 12:07, 1 user, load average: 1.39, 1.22, 0.72 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
