tinderbox-y status-y thing-y

[Luis Villa <luis villa gmail com>]

So since I've been whining about building gtk 2.7 and stack, and of
course had only attempted a couple times to build it (and all had
failed) I thought I'd poke at tinderbox-y bits this weekend. Some Luis
Network News-y[1] bits:

* the nss install stuff is still sort of hosed when building against
firefox, but I have a patch: see
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=154213

* looks like even if that bug is fixed, e-d-s will fail to build:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=307418

* if e-d-s fails to build, well, lots of things aren't so happy:
http://tieguy.org/misc/temp-tinderbox-dump/

So that about covers the code front- until we get the nss and e-d-s
stuff sorted out I'm sort of at an impasse on making tinderbox go
further.[2]

On the non-immediate-building-things front:

* it is quite likely that I need a new physical box for tinderbox;
I've gotten no response from the last two potential hosts so if anyone
can donate a new box (and potentially hosting, I have no idea if gnome
sysadmins are ready for that or not though :) please let me know.

* I'm still hoping to integrate LDTP soon, but it's on the back burner
for me personally. If someone (either from LDTP or otherwise) wants to
look at it, that would rock.

* if you're interested in other ways to help, poke at:

[2] I'm doing another run with docbook2xman installed, so that'll fix
yelp and some other bits.
