1216283 - Upgrade Mozilla 44 to use NSPR 4.11

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox Build System :: General, defect)

Description

[Kai Engert [:KaiE:]]

We have a request to land MIPS fixes into mozilla-central.

I'd like to land a NSPR 4.11 Beta tag now.
(This means, we'll have to tag a final NSPR 4.11 for the Firefox 44 release later.)

Does this sound OK?

How much later? The next merge date is in two weeks, I believe. In any case, if the changes are just MIPS-specific, I don't think it should be a problem.

I think it's ok to tag a 4.11 final and land into m-c prior to the Nov 2 merge date.

If that's fine with you, I'd land the beta tag tomorrow.

Firefox 44 Aurora uses a Beta version of NSPR.

We must change it to use a final version. The final version will be ready tomorrow. This won't mean any code change, only version number fixes.

Seems like routine business. Let's uplift to Aurora44.

Can this be checked in to mozilla-central? ESR 45 is the next ESR release and Nightly 45 builds still show "NSPR 4.11 Beta" in about:support.

I've been waiting for Sylvestre to finalize the NSPR 4.11 release.
Sylvestre, I'm still offering to handle it, just let me know. Thanks.

Sylvestre, FYI, we usually add the "leave-open" keyword while we are in the process of landing beta snapshots.

Once we land the final RTM into m-c, we usually remove the "leave-open" keyword.

Thanks a lot for your help with the NSPR 4.11 release!
