nss has even been recast, but still stores 3.12 as NSS_BRANCH:
$ cat /etc/sorcery/local/depends/nss.p
NSS_BRANCH="3.12"
NSS_PEM="n"
MAKE_OPTS=""

  1. cast nss
    ...
    nss checking for reverse triggers...
    3.13.x release needed, forcing it.
    3.12.x release needed, forcing it.
    ...

Something else seems to be forcing 3.12.x

xulrunner it is.

Hrm, can't edit the original bug report, but it is incorrect in that our test branch only has nss 3.12.x, it also provides 3.11.x and 3.13.x via SUB_DEPENDS.

is it fine now in test?

#5
Updated by Eric Sandall about 1 year ago

No, having xulrunner still breaks firefox and firefox still breaks xulrunner.

firefox forces nss 3.13
xulrunner forces nss 3.12

Having one breaks the other, whomever wins the nss sub_depends race.

Vlad mentioned on IRC that maybe we can try xulrunner with nss 3.13, which I haven't. The sub-depends on nss 3.12 may be from the nss 3.11/3.12 branching and xulrunner just needs 3.12+.

Is there any specific reason why we don't update xulrunner to the same version as firefox? They should have the same dependencies then.

I tried building xulrunner on my box with nss 3.13, but it doesn't seem to build. nsBaseHashtable.h is the file that fails to build. I'm not sure if nss is the cause however, since I haven't tried building it with nss 3.12.
