Description Rich Megginson 2010-12-08 21:57:12 UTC

Description of problem:

I wanted to use the function CERT_FindBasicConstraintExten() declared as part of the public API in /usr/include/nss3.h
But when I link my app, the linker says this function is not found.

readelf -s /usr/lib64/libnss3.so | grep FindBasic

nothing - but many of the other similar functions are:

readelf -s /usr/lib64/libnss3.so | grep Extension
   276: 0000003e3aa1b5f0    15 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT   12 CERT_StartCRLExtensions@@NSS_3.10
   290: 0000003e3aa5db80   253 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT   12 CERT_MergeExtensions@@NSS_3.10
   485: 0000003e3aa5dc80   126 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT   12 CERT_AddExtension@@NSS_3.5

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
nss-3.12.8-2.fc14

I think CERT_FindBasicConstraintExten() was intended to be exported for the public API.  If so, please add the symbol - if not, please remove it from cert.h

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-16 18:05:35 UTC

This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained.  At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this 
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen 
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that 
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
