1277852 - Add config scripts for packaging

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(NSS :: Build, defect)

Description

[Franziskus Kiefer [:franziskus]]

We have the request for adding config scripts to NSS for packaging [1].

After recently creating an NSS package for Arch Linux I think this is reasonable and would make life easier for package managers and applications using NSS.

This could look like this [2][3].

[Thomas Klausner]

Thank you for the bug report!

[2] looks fine to me.
[3] should have "-L${libdir}" on the Libs: line before the -l arguments, like most other .pc files.

Kai could you check the config scripts? We should add them to the tree to make packaging easier.

config-scripts.patch

the file contents look good, but please don't add it to the toplevel directory.

We already have a ./pkg subdirectory, which seems like the right place.

r=kaie on the attached patch, if you don't add them to the main directory, but to a new subdirectory ./pkg/pkg-config/
