Updating nss means a very large rebuild, because unlike regular distributions (as far as I know/remember at least) we rebuild everything once a build input changes. So because e.g. libblockdev depends on nss, we rebuild a few thousand packages for every nss update. This would and did sometimes mean delaying Firefox updates. Although now we've split the package into nss_esr and nss_latest. We only use nss_latest for Firefox, Thunderbird and extracting CA certificates from, while nss_esr is used for everything else. Maybe some other distros, e.g. GuixSD are in the same boat. > Best, > Dennis > > On Sun, May 29, 2022 at 9:25 AM Wolfgang Rosenauer <wrosena...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > seems that Firefox 101 ships with something like NSS 3.78.1 in a few days. > > Will there be an official NSS release ASAP? > > > > > > Thanks, > > Wolfgang > > > > -- > > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups " > > dev-tech-crypto@mozilla.org" group. > > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > > email to dev-tech-crypto+unsubscr...@mozilla.org. > > To view this discussion on the web visit > > https://groups.google.com/a/mozilla.org/d/msgid/dev-tech-crypto/c684eb7c-813a-4abb-a242-22f753f20767n%40mozilla.org > > <https://groups.google.com/a/mozilla.org/d/msgid/dev-tech-crypto/c684eb7c-813a-4abb-a242-22f753f20767n%40mozilla.org?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer> > > . > > > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "dev-tech-crypto@mozilla.org" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to dev-tech-crypto+unsubscr...@mozilla.org. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/a/mozilla.org/d/msgid/dev-tech-crypto/CAON8YFPEskuDBd%2Bg%3DvCT63tNGMUFaopc7ucTyOOTsR%3DJUHF2%2BA%40mail.gmail.com. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "dev-tech-crypto@mozilla.org" group.
