Contains the Network Security Services (NSS) libraries from Mozilla
== Fips 140 and signed libraries ==
Fips 140 mode is not supported. That is, the *.chk files containing the
checksums for the cryptographic module are not delivered into instdir and will
not be part of the OOo installation sets.
Signing has been turned off because
- we change the rpath (install names) after signing which breaks the signatures
(Mac)
- sqlite conflicts with the system sqlite when signing which breaks the build

== libsqlite3 ==
With all supported macOS SDK we use
NSS_USE_SYSTEM_SQLITE=1
to build using the system sqlite.
== system NSS on Linux ==
Note that different Linux distributions use different SONAMEs for the
NSS libraries, so it is not possible to use --with-system-nss and build
a portable generic LO installation set, despite NSS upstream apparently
maintaining ABI compatibility.
