RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Elio Maldonado Batiz 2012-03-02 05:43:18 UTC 
Description of problem: We have updated nss to 3.13.1 and shipped it with nspr 4.8.9. This is too old for the 3.13 line. Due to an upstream miss-communication nss 13.3 was released with NSS_4_9_BETA4. This has been rectified and NSS_4_9_RTM  is now released.

Updated existing patches to account for code movements for they otherwise do the same as before. Hardly anything had to be done.

Changes actually applied in patch form

This is a diff with a *very* old version of NSPR, not the latest.

NOTE: the latest version in RHEL 6.3 is 4.8.9-3. This looks like it was merged with 4.8.9-2

Changes to rebase nspr to 4.9 since last build

That previous build which I am comparing against is effectively the same, results-wise, as the one for rhel 6.2.z that was sent out.

No, the latest version in RHEL 6.3 is 4.8.9-2 and it is RHEL6.2.z that has a 
4.8.9-3 entry.

'rhpkg --branches nspr' brings them in separate directories so one can examine 
the both spec files and compare. 

Looking at the most recent entries in the %changelog for each:

----------------------------------------------------------------
For RHEL 6.3 we have

* Wed Sep 07 2011 Elio Maldonado <emaldona> - 4.8.7-2
- Update to 4.8.8

---------------------------------------------------------------------

I downloaded the nspr-debuginfo rpms from each and extracted them with
'rpmdev-extract path-to-the-srpm' and saw identical sources. The spec files look different, but once all patches have been applied with 'rpkg prep' I end up with the same results.

Changes to rebase nspr to 4.9 since last build

This is the nss patch, not nspr patch.

I pulled both the z-stream .src.rpm and the current candidate 6.3 rpm and did a diff of the specs and the source.

Other than the desired patch, the only other changes to the source were ifdefs for iOS and Android, so r+ for this build for 6.3 and z-stream from me.
