Mozilla trunk and NSS trunk

[Jean-Marc Desperrier]

I'd like some enlightment about the relationship between Mozilla trunk 
and NSS trunk, and Mozilla release and NSS release.

Wan-Teh Chang recently said here that in order to include the fix from 
bug 53133 in Mozilla 1.7b a new release of NSS (3.9.1) would be 
required, as it has been fixed after NSS 3.9 was released.

This seems to imply that Mozilla is built from a stable version of NSS, 
and the changes from NSS are only included inside Mozilla trunk after a 
stable version of NSS is produced.

*But* I could test with a Mozilla nightly ID 20040202 that the fix from 
bug 53133 is effective, and I just checked visually that the line from 
the bug 53133 patch are present inside the file 
mozilla.org/mozilla/nightly/latest-trunk/mozilla-source.tar.bz2 from today.
This is the same file as nightly/latest as the trunk hasn't yet forked 
for 1.7a.

So is NSS trunk directly included inside Mozilla trunk by error ?

Or does this mean that the NSS trunk is inside the nightlies for testing 
purpose, but that there will be a roll-back to the latest stable NSS 
release, when Mozilla 1.7 is released ? Maybe by way of a roll-back 
inside the Mozilla 1.7x branch when it has forked from the trunk ?

The good thing in having the NSS trunk inside the Mozilla nightlies is 
that a lot more people can test it, and I wish it could stay that way.
