69752 - NSS / DBM error tracking bug

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(NSS :: Libraries, defect, P1)

Description

[Nelson Bolyard (seldom reads bugmail)]

There are quite a few problems with DBM, as used by NSS.
Some of the problems are specific to Win32, but others are not.
This bug exists to track all the DBM bugs that affect NSS.

Comment 1

[Nelson Bolyard (seldom reads bugmail)]

In NSS 3.2 and later, DBM is now linked into libnss3.so.
We've produced DBM 155 with some fixes for use with NSS 2.85,
but NSS 3.2 doesn't have those fixes.  So, a new DS 4.1x, built
from NSS 2.8x and DBM 1.55 will have those fixes, but a new 
DS 5.x, built from NSS 3.2, will not have them.

Should we plan an NSS 3.2.1 with DBM 1.5.5 and possibly other
changes?

Should we put DBM into its own DSO?

Nelson, this bug is fixed in NSS 3.2.1, right?

Comment 3

[Nelson Bolyard (seldom reads bugmail)]

I do not know what version of DBM was used to build the NSS 3.2.1 DSOs.
Was it DBM from mozilla or DBM from /m/src? and which version ?
So, I do not know whether the fix for this bug was in NSS 3.2.1 or not.
AFAIK, the fix for OS/2 is not yet checked in, and I'm also not sure
about Macintosh (see comments near the end of bug 69753).

I'm pretty sure 3.2.1 was built from /m/src.

future builds should be built from mozilla, we should schedule with Anthony when
this should happen.

After reading Nelson's comments last night, I checked in
the fix for OS/2.

If we want to leave this bug open as a tracking bug (for
example, the Macintosh issue is still open), we should
move the target to 3.4.  Is that okay?

Comment 6

[Nelson Bolyard (seldom reads bugmail)]

WTC, in answer to your question: sure, move the target.

Comment 7

[Nelson Bolyard (seldom reads bugmail)]

Wan-Teh,  You've been working on DBM.  Do you want to take this bug?
It's a P1.  Is this a must-fix for 3.4?

Comment 8

[Wan-Teh Chang]

The only thing that remains to be done is to open a Mac
version of bug 69753.  I will mark this bug closed after
I open that bug.

Comment 9

[Wan-Teh Chang]

I just opened bug 121930 as the Mac version of bug 69753.

Marked this bug fixed.
