It doesn’t matter much at the moment. I haven’t tested gn but I would be surprised if it worked. > https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/security/nss/build.html is a bit > confusing regarding this: > > "Please, note that we gyp is currently unmaintained and that our support > for gyp-next is experimental and might be unstable." > > In practice I tried gyp on Linux and gyp-next on macOS, and both seem to > work fine, when building 3.77. What is meant there is that: 1. NSS currently uses “gyp” to build 2. “gyp” is not maintained by Google anymore 3. “gyp-next” should work for NSS but if Node break backwards compat we might not see the build fail because we still use “gyp” in our CI. That move to “gyp-next” will likely happen this year, but this is not a priority for us.
