Verified working with Firefox, however it still doesn't work with
Chromium because of the NPAPI vs PPAPI thing.
Chrome's Pepper Plugin API doesn't seem to look for
plugins in the MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH, anyway I left them there for others to
find the solution :-)
This is because of a single file that symlinks to the source output
path:
libexec/chromium/resources/extension/demo/library.js
Target within source output path:
chrome/browser/resources/extension_resource/demo/library.js
So we just need to ensure that the cp command follows symlinks during
installPhase and we should no longer have this unnecessary dependency.

After refactoring the updater we no longer did properly propagate the

With this commit, the following new upstream versions are introduced:
stable: 35.0.1916.114 -> 35.0.1916.153
beta: 35.0.1916.86 -> 36.0.1985.67
dev: 36.0.1964.2 -> 37.0.2054.3
All builds successfully tested on my machine, however in order to update
the beta and dev channels, a few additional modifications were
necessary:
* Update/rebase USER_NS sandbox patch for version 36 and higher.
* Create address_input_strings.grdp before running gyp in version 37.
* Remove an empty string leftover from 0517041.
* Add patch for building bundled Angle for version 37.
The patch for Angle is to remove reliance on git being present during
build and is from https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/202048 but
with own modifications to remove/fix Windows-specific parts within the
patch file.

Let's ensure we do all architecture-dependant stuff inside
mkChromiumDerivation and not pass archInfo around, so we can properly
decouple it from the main function.
This partially reverts 8d54dc6d13.
The main reason for doing this is because the architecture information
is no longer required in Chromium 37, so let's uglify and XXX it in
common.nix and remove it once version 37 hits the stable channel.

This fixes build for version 36, which i accidentally broke in commit
f6e31fadd8.
The reason this happened, was that my Hydra didn't pick up the latest
commit and I actually tested and built the parent commit instead of the
update commit.
So, this commit is the real "builds fine, tested" for all channels.
Also, the sandbox client initalization has moved into
setuid_sandbox_client.cc, so we need to move the lookup of the
CHROMIUM_SANDBOX_BINARY_PATH environment variable there.

The system attribute was already there in the function head of the
shared update helper but it actually wasn't used and thus later the
import of <nixpkgs> was done using builtins.currentSystem instead of the
system attribute inherited from the source derivation.
Now we correctly propagate the attribute, so that even when running a
64bit kernel you can run a 32bit Chromium with binary plugins.

This fixes the issue of Chromium not being able to load the pulseaudio

This should fix the desktop icon location for both desktop entries (the

This implements some longstanding work of getting the Chromium
derivation more modular. Unfortunately, I didn't manage to decrease the
compile time, which was one of the primary goal for doing the refactor.
A main reason this didn't work out well was the fact that most bundled
libraries are so heavily patched that it's not possible within a limited
time frame to decouple it from the main derivation.
However, it should now be easier to build other derivations that build
upon Chromium, like libcef. Also, it finally adds support for the
non-free PepperAPI Flash and PDF plugins and support for fetching the
corresponding versions through the updater.
The packageName attribute defines the output path and binary name of the
product that's going to be created, so we really want to have "chromium"
instead of "chromium-browser" here, especially for the resulting binary.
Signed-off-by: aszlig <aszlig@redmoonstudios.org>
We already have a desktop icon from the browser wrapper, so this is only
for people who do not use the wrapper (for example if you don't want to
use Mozilla plugins).
Also, we someday might want to propagate the desktop item to the browser

For the new version 36, we needed to rebase our user namespaces sandbox

Also, we need to add ply and jinja2 to the depends on version 36. This
is done unconditionally, because I want to avoid cluttering up the

The sandbox binary had to be fixed as well and we no longer use system

This results in a new function called mkChromiumDerivation, which can be
used to easily build packages that are based on the Chromium source
tree.
We pass through this function as mkDerivation in the chromium wrappre,
so in the end if you want to create such a package, something like:
chromium.mkDerivation (base: {
name = "your-shiny-package-based-on-chromium";
...
})
will suffice.
Of course, this is only the first step towards this functionality,
because right now I'm not even sure the Chromium browser itself will

This cases the Debian binaries to be fetched from Google's official APT
repository. If we aren't able to find a package from the APT repository,
it's very likely that it already got deleted upstream and we need to
fallback to mirrors instead.
Unfortunately, we can't use mirrors for updating, because Google doesn't
sign the Debian packages themselves and only the release files.
We're going to hook it into a Chromium updater soon, making the sha256
hashes publicly available, so if it is missing, we can still put the
sha256 manually into sources.nix, without risking anything by blindly
fetching from one of the provided mirrors.

The updater is now splitted between a shellscript and a Nix expression
file which contains helpers and lookup functions to reconstruct all

This means, that the sources.nix now doesn't contain URLs and only

sounds like it's unnecessary, but we're going to fetch binaries soon so
it's a good idea to not unnecessarily clutter up sources.nix.

I'm giving up on this after several attempts to correctly unbundle the
largest part, namely Google's WebKit fork Blink. Right now it's so much
tied into the Chromium source it's going to be fairly hard to do if
you're not working full time on it.
Also, the intermediate steps needed to do this properly would introduce
uneccesary complexity on our side, so we really need to finish this
without leaving it in the "messy" state in order to not make Chromium
even more difficult to maintain than it is already.
However, anyone who wants to proceed on this messy step is free to
revert this commit and continue doing so. In my case I'm going to try

So far we just copied everything from source.* into the build directory
during the prePatch. This somewhat defeated the purpose of the source
splitup because it involved more I/O than just unpacking the entire
source tree.
Now, we're selectively *symlinking* the bundled sources into the build
directory. Even that isn't perfect because in the end we'd just
reference foreign derivations and we're done. But for now, this gets us
at least prepared for a massive reduction of compile time.
Unfortunately, gyp's behaviour when it comes to symlinks is quite
painful to come by, so we need to fix a few references to use absolute
paths.

* Patch out /bin/echo to allow building with all options enabled.
* Always use GN from the source tree.
* Remove import of depot_tools for version 34.
* Drop version 32 specific stuff.
With this commit, the following new upstream versions are introduced:

dev: 33.0.1712.4 -> 34.0.1809.0 (build broken with gnome_keyring)
The dev version requires a more recent version gnome_keyring and thus
won't build if gnomeKeyringSupport is set to true. I haven't tested this
build without gnomeKeyringSupport yet, so it might be broken and will be

This splits up the source into one base output (just the build and tools
directory), one for bundled dependencies, one for sandbox sources and
one for the sources of the main browser.
The state of this is heavily work in progress and contains a bunch of
workarounds. For example, we currently copy the entire sources into the
build directory, so a build ultimately requires even more space than
before.
Of course, it's just temporary as neither GYP nor ninja is particularly
friendly if it comes to out-of-tree builds.
Another thing which is heavily WIP is how we handle patches. Ultimately,
those patches shouldn't be applied to the source tree (at least not all)
but rather to the final build's temporary directory.

Chromium 29 having no make target for chrome_sandbox, we now use ninja as well
as the official build and most other distributions.
The whole build/make flags cruft is now integrated into one buildPhase override
and we just call ninja there by exporting the specific variables.
And this also makes enableParallelBuilding obsolete, as we use NIX_BUILD_CORES
directly now.

Actually a "*[0-9]" wildcard isn't enough for some unrelated icons to slip into
the derivation output, so let's explicitely check again within the for loop.

This patch adds support for unprivileged user namespaces found in kernel
versions 3.8.0 and later. In case of Nix, this is especially useful to prevent
having to set up setuid wrappers.
The implementation details about this patch can be found at the top of the file
"sandbox_userns.patch". My first attempt of creating this patch was by modifying
the SUID sandbox. Unfortunately this didn't work out well, because in the event
of a sandbox failure, the host zygote process waits for an answer of the inner
zygote with no timeout. Even if I'd have set a timeout, this would have been
very ugly, giving users which don't have unprivileged user namespaces a delay on
startup.
An alternative approach to the mentioned problem would be to use select() on the
host zygote, watching for changes stdout or stderr and the synchronization
socket. But even that approach isn't feasible because it requires a whole bunch
of even more patching.
Patch was tested with older kernels (3.2.x, 3.7.x) and kernels without user
namespace support enabled, where in case the feature is unavailable it reverts
back to the previous behaviour (no zygote sandbox, only seccomp BPF).
In order to support all Chromium channels, I manually changed the first hunk of
the patch to not include the starting context of the diff, because there is a
whitespace change in more recent versions of the Chromium source tree.
See SVN revision 199882 for the change (revert in this case) in detail:

This is no feature change and only makes the installPhase look nicer and it now
doesn't exceed 80 characters in width anymore.

This updates the following channels to the latest upstream versions:
beta: 27.0.1453.65 -> 27.0.1453.81 (builds fine, tested)
dev: 28.0.1485.0 -> 28.0.1500.5 (builds fine, tested)
For version 28, the reference to /usr/bin/gcc is now located in
third_party/WebKit/Source/core/core.gypi instead of the previous
third_party/WebKit/Source/core/core.gyp/core.gyp.

See #490 discussion.
This reverts commit 1278859d31, reversing
changes made to 0c020c98f9.
Conflicts:
pkgs/desktops/xfce/core/xfce4-session.nix (take master)
pkgs/lib/misc.nix (auto)
This updates the channels to the following new versions:
beta: 27.0.1453.47 -> 27.0.1453.65 (builds fine, tested)
dev: 27.0.1453.47 -> 28.0.1485.0 (builds fine, tested)
As we now don't have any version below 26, this update drops all references to
all older versions as well.
In addition to that, the /usr/bin/gcc reference from:
third_party/WebKit/Source/core/core.gyp/core.gyp
Can now - starting at version 28 - be found in:
third_party/WebKit/Source/WebCore/WebCore.gyp/WebCore.gyp
