208214 - Build Linux RPMS (NSS_3_3_BRANCH)

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(NSS :: Build, defect)

Description

[Kirk Erickson]

Michael Hein requested that I backport the changes for building
Linux RPMs to the 3.3 Branch of NSS.  This was done at the TIP
of NSS for 3.8 (http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=189504).

Apply the patch, and extract this tar sitting
at the top of the workarea (above mozilla).
Built packages successfully on box.

Note: you must be root or have write access to
/usr/src/redhat.

This patch and tarball make the 3.3 branch like the TIP;
the 'solarispkg' target at the high level is replaced by
'package'.  The pkg/Makefile introduced by the change
distinguishes the platform. 

	cd ${WORKAREA}/mozilla/security/nss
	gmake package

Under Solaris this does the same as 'gmake solarispkg' did
previously.  I tested this on dsame2.  Under Linux, RPMs
are generated.

Created bug 208288 Build Linux RPMS (NSPRPUB_RELEASE_4_1_BRANCH)
for analogous backport of TIP changes of NSPR.

The spec file in the proposed new files tarball needs updating.
mozilla/security/nss/pkg/linux/sun-nss.spec:
   Requires: sun-nspr >= 4.3
should be:
   Requires: sun-nspr >= 4.1.2

I'll work the NSPR bug first, so I can make this change and test
installing the generated RPMS before updating the proposed tarball.

To try the patch:

cd <WORKAREA> (dir above mozilla)
patch <2003-0605.patch
tar xvf 2003-0605.tar
cd mozilla/security/nss
gmake package

This is the same as 'gmake solarispkg' was previously.
I verified that, and that together with the RPMS generated
under Linux for the fix to bug 208214 for NSPR, I could install
on box (RedHat 7.2) and dsame2 (Solaris).  

I also verified the resulting
/usr/lib/mps and /usr/include/mps hierarchies match the 
RPMS generated at the TIP of NSS and NSPR.

This updated tarball contains the same set of files, but
updated to build in the OBJDIR rather than /usr/src/redhat.
Similiar changes were develeped first as part of the 
effort to backport the RPM build infrastructure to 
NSPRPUB_RELEASE_4_1_BRANCH (see bug 208288).

I tested building and installing both NSPR and NSS on box.

Adresses the lack of 'cp -L' support under RedHat 6.2.

I tested building and installing on these:
Linux box 2.4.18-17.7.xsmp #1 SMP Tue Oct 8 12:37:04 EDT 2002 i686 unknown
Linux louie 2.2.14-5.0smp #1 SMP Tue Mar 7 21:01:40 EST 2000 i686 unknown

Saul has completed and checked int the linux RPM work on the 3.3 branch. 
this bug should be closed.
