1763013 - [python-nss] Misc infrastructure changes after 1.0.1

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(NSS :: Tools, enhancement, P5)

Description

[Marcin Cieślak (:saper)]

Attachment: python-nss-misc-fixes.diff

Steps to reproduce:

python-nss has collected some dust over the years

Those changes:

• fix -Wsign-compare warnings
• allow to run tests and doc generation on both Python 2 and 3
• allow building Python 2 and Python 3 wheel packages
• allow tests to be run cleanly on platforms like FreeBSD

This does not include PKCS#12 enhancements after
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1707130 and a workaround for https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1760813 yet.

As discussed in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1760591 we do not have a maintainer but I have patches pending for python-nss.

We do not have a separate component for python-nss nor we have a Phabricator repo, submitting here.

This should bring us a bit closer to a new minor release.

Thanks Marcin. For the moment, I'm going to mark this as blocked on 1760591 whilst we figure the future of python-nss.
