In addition for NSS, we have merged the + | contents of directories mozilla/dbm and mozilla/security/dbm into the + | new directory lib/dbm. + | Besides the new layout, the build system hasn't changed. Most parts of + | the NSS build instructions remain valid, especially the instructions + | about setting environment variables. + | Updated instructions for building NSS with NSPR can be found at: + | :ref:`mozilla_projects_nss_reference_building_and_installing_nss_build_instructions` + | It's best to refer to the above document to learn about the various + | environment variables that you might have to set to build on your + | platform (this part hasn't changed). + | However, below is a brief summary that shows how to checkout the + | source code and build both NSPR and NSS: + | mkdir workarea + | cd workarea + | hg clone https://hg.mozilla.org/projects/nspr + | hg clone https://hg.mozilla.org/projects/nss + | cd nss + | # set USE_64=1 on 64 bit architectures + | # set BUILD_OPT=1 to get an optimized build + | make nss_build_all + | Note that the JSS project has been given a private copy of the former + | mozilla/security/coreconf directory, allowing it to remain stable, + | and only update its build system as necessary. + | Because of the changes described above, we have decided to use a new + | series of (minor) version numbers. The first releases using the new code + | layout will be NSPR 4.10 and NSS 3.15
