This change was backed-out before it reached mozilla-central from
mozilla-inbound because NSS crashes during startup on Android (and
probably B2G). See bug 817233.
After the backout, I tagged NSS_3_14_2_BETA2 on the CVS HEAD and pushed it to
mozilla-central.
Three patches were backported to mozilla-aurora and mozilla-beta as they are
required for B2G. See:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=818717
Firefox 18 will build correctly against NSS_3_14_2_BETA2 but it won't build
correctly against NSS 3.14. However, if you build Firefox 18 against
NSS_3_14_2_BETA2, you will be able to run Firefox 18 against NSS 3.14, because
all of the changes that Gecko 18 depends are build-time-only and do not affect
the ABI.
An alternative would be to apply just the patch for bug 808218 to system NSS
for building Firefox 18. The other two backported fixes are not needed for
Firefox; they are only needed for B2G.
Firefox 18 will be released on the week of 2013-01-06. This should give us
plenty of time to finalize the NSS 3.14.1 RTM release for Linux distros to
package it, if they choose to have their Firefox 18 packages depend on NSS
3.14.1 instead of NSS 3.14.
I hope this unusual situation does not cause too much inconvenience.
Cheers,
Brian
