Hello,
I am not sure if this deserves a Fedora Change proposal, so I'd like to
hear any opinions first before proceeding with the process.
NSS (the crypto library used by Firefox) historically supports 2
database formats: SQLite and DBM. The latter is considered legacy and
we switched the default database format to SQLite in F28[1]. Since then
I presume most of the applications have switched to the new format.
Therefore we are planning to phase out the support of DBM, targetting
F33+.
Please let me know if there is any concern.
It seems this broke the kernel build. I did some scratch build today
to test some patches, but it failed with this:
+ /usr/bin/pesign -c 'Red Hat Test Certificate' --certdir
/etc/pki/pesign-rh-test -i arch/x86/boot/bzImage -o vmlinuz.signed -s
pesign: Could not initialize nss.
NSS says "The certificate/key database is in an old, unsupported
format." errno says "No such file or directory"
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.YKqoK0 (%build)
RPM build errors:
Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.YKqoK0 (%build)
Child return code was: 1
Here is a clean scratch build from current dist-git master:
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=43737486
At the time of writing it failed on x86_64 with this error and passed
on s390x (it seems pesign is not run there).
