Re: [Evolution-hackers] Re: [Evolution] Mozilla SSL now available.



One argument against the Mozilla NSS stuff is that it requires the NSPR
runtime library for doing sockets, etc. Essentially, it is to Mozilla what
glib is to GTK/GNOME applications. It is also rather big and doesn't fit
in otherwise with Evolution. Despite being a licensing win, I think it
will end up being a pain in the butt from a technical standpoint and add a
rather large dependency to Evolution.


Maybe a NSS port to glib would be a good project for a motivated
hacker.  In the long run, it seems like everyone will want to use some
sort of functionality from NSS.
