be upstreamed
- use PATH_MAX instead of MAXPATHLEN in patch-nspr_pr_src_linking_prlink_c

After years of sticking to CVS, upstream finally switched to hg,
changing its directory layout while here. All our patches are actually
unchanged, but got renamed/moved. CVS doesn't handle moves :)
Tested in an amd64 bulk build.
NSPR 4.9.6 has the following bug fixes:
* Bug 782214: Auto detect Android API version for x86.
* Bug 807883: Add the PL_SizeOfArenaPoolExcludingPool function.
* Bug 812085: Initialize Windows CRITICAL_SECTIONs without debug info
and with nonzero spin count.
* Bug 827271: Add support for Aarch64 (64-Bit ARM).
* Bug 841651: PR_SetThreadPriority doesn't do anything when using Bionic.
Bump minor for PL_SizeOfArenaPoolExcludingPool addition.
After two years of discussion in bug #634793 and countless hours lost on
filing followup bugs at each type mismatch, nspr upstream finally got
convinced that on OpenBSD uint64_t was unsigned long long, and there was
no reason at all to define PRUint64 as unsigned long, happily raping the
principle of least surprise. So now that upstream behaves correctly,
remove the two pr{long,types}.h patches.
And there was much rejoicing.
Tested on sparc64/ppc/hppa/amd64, went in a bunch of bulk builds.
- remove subpackages, it makes no sense to have -docs fetching its distfile
from a separate tarball. If really needed one can make a standalone port.
- remove handmade nspr.pc.in, upstream provides one
- remove handrolled install target and use the one upstream provides.
- merge PFRAG.shared back into PLIST
Tested on amd64/i386/powerpc and in a bulk build.
Needed by firefox 18.
ok sthen@ ajacoutot@ jasper@
- Garbage collect patch adding -pthread hack while here.
- Improve pthread_set_name_np() call (returns void)
- Needed anyway by upcoming Mozilla 16 releases
been in a bunch of amd64 bulks, ok ajacoutot@
Tested on alpha amd64 hppa i386 powerpc sparc64, no change in regression
output (well, dtoa still fails, but thats not surprising given
corresponding code is heavily patched)
- PL_ArenaFinish should zero the static variable PRCallOnceType
once.
- Missing _MD_UNLOCK() in IsFileLocal in ntio.c.
- PR_Interrupt() interrupts PR_TransmitFile() while PR_BlockInterrupt()
in effect.
- use /dev/urandom instead of /dev/random
ok naddy@
- use patches from www/mozilla-firefox (should now work on all supported
Firefox platforms)
- replaced internal strtod and dtoa implementations (patch from kurt@)
- create and install nspr.pc (from FreeBSD)
- change MASTER_SITES, remove USE_X11, update pkg/DESCR
ok mbalmer@ kurt@
Netscape Portable Runtime (NSPR) provides a platform-neutral
API for system level and libc like functions. The API is used
in the Mozilla client, many of Netscape/AOL/iPlanet's and other
software offerings.
i386-only for now.
