I noticed, that the nspr-4.6.1.tar.gz is _exactly the same_ as the nsprpub/ subdirectory bundled with the nss. At the same time, nss-3.11.tar.gz is 5Mb, whereas the 3.10 was just over 3Mb. Maybe, you could keep the nspr out of the nss tarball and simply list it as a requirement in future releases? Also, using bzip2 instead of gzip shrinks the existing nss-3.11.tar from 5002908 to 3832764 (over 20%). Maybe, you can place both .gz and .bz2 archives on the ftp-sites? You may not care much for Mozilla's bandwidth, but some downloaders care for theirs :-) Gnome! FYI, I compared the nspr-4.6.1 with our nspr-4.6 and could not find anything, that would change the binaries generated on FreeBSD -- the changes seem to affect MacOS, RISCOS, and Windows only. I think, we can skip the nspr-4.6.1 entirely. -mi
