I haven't succeeded yet in signing an XPI file. So far, the following

2. Trying to download the new signtool program which supports XPI
=================================================================
Reference: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=248751
The above bug says that there is a new version of signtool that
accepts a -X parameter for signing XPI. If that is true, I cannot
seem to get it.
Take another look at that bug. It clearly says the bug is fixed in
NSS 3.10. That means the fix is not in any version 3.9.x.
NSS 3.10 is not yet released. I hope 3.10 will be released by year end.
I downloaded the following new signtool:
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/security/nss/releases/NSS_3_9_2_RTM/Linux2.4_x86_glibc_PTH_OPT.OBJ/
There are a few things that are odd about that.
a) My old version of signtool 1.3 is 725752 bytes and...
b) this new signtool is 1071549 bytes but...
c) when I run it, it still says it is version 1.3 and...
d) it does not accept the -X parameter
Yeah, you pulled 3.9.2. It's not in there.
It's not in 3.9.3 or 3.9.4 either.
Did the signtool version number not get rolled?
Signtool did not get changed on the 3.9 branch, so the version
number of signtool in NSS 3.9.x did not get rolled.
***Does anybody out there have the signtool that accepts the -X
parameter?***
Anyone who built NSS from a recent trunk snapshot does.
NSS is very easy to build. Much easier than building all of mozilla.
You only need NSPR and DBM, and none of the rest of mozilla.
Can I get a copy? I am on Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 3
(Taroon Update 1).
3. Trying to compile my own signtool.
=====================================
I downloaded the sources from
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/security/nss/releases/NSS_3_9_RTM/src/nss-3.9.tar.gz
and tried to compile my own signtool. My OS is above. I had a
developer here try to help me with this and although it seemed to
compile some tools, he was not able to make signtool.
How can this be so difficult?!
Try following the NSS build instructions on www.mozilla.org.
But build NSS from the trunk, not the 3.9 branch.
