nss 3.12.10 doesn't build on ARMv5tel platforms
Last modified: 2011-08-06 14:32:41 EDT
The latest version of nss doesn't build on ARM platforms. It fails a couple of tests (minor details below). nss-util and nss-softokn build without issues. The full chain build of the latest nspr/nss-util/nss-softokn/nss can be found here http://arm.koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=94426 Tests summary: -------------- Passed: 3698 Failed: 8 Failed with core: 0 Unknown status: 0 + cd ../../../../ + killall selfserv_9936 selfserv_9936: no process killed + : ++ grep -c FAILED ./mozilla/tests_results/security/localhost.1/output.log error: test suite returned failure(s) + TEST_FAILURES=12 + '[' 12 -ne 0 ']' + echo 'error: test suite returned failure(s)' + exit 1
We fixed this in F-14/F15/rawhide by disabling tests for ARM.
The test that fail are ssl tests where client times attempinting a connection to the local test server on system with dual ipv6/ipv4 stack. This is related to Bug 539183 for which we had applied an upstream short-term fix for use in Linux and Mac OS X builds and testing, see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=617723. Unfortunately, it's not working on arm. Until the problem is fixed we could just opt to disable only the ssl tests.
Created attachment 500487 [details] Disable the ssl tests suites on arm platform. Suggested modifications to nss.spec file in the for of a patch to disable only the ssl tests.
