Overview of the updated versions:
beta: 45.0.2454.15 -> 45.0.2454.26
dev: 45.0.2454.15 -> 46.0.2471.2
Changes for getting beta and dev channel to build:
* The reference for chrome::FILE_FLASH_PLUGIN doesn't exist anymore in
version 46, because it has been dropped upstream, see the following
review URL:
https://codereview.chromium.org/1255943002
We set the PPAPI Flash path using a command line flag anyway, so it
doesn't hurt us if we don't patch that path (which was an old
artifact from the NSAPI->PPAPI conversion anyway).
Changes for the dev channel only:
* It seems that in the SCM, chrome/test/data/webui/ contains a lot of
files, however they are missing in the tarball.
This has been reported upstream at: https://crbug.com/515917
Our fix is to just not include webui/i18n_process_css_test.html at
all, to avoid the configure (gyp) phase to fail, because we're not
building tests anyway.

Overview of the updated versions:
stable: 43.0.2357.125 -> 43.0.2357.130
beta: 44.0.2403.52 -> 44.0.2403.61
For the beta channel the following changes were necessary:
* Drop all patches which were added in c290595 because they apply to
44.0.2403.52 only. The shipped version of Blink was older than the
one used for Chromium itself and thus contained just the
cherry-picked patches from upstream Blink.
* The ffmpegsumo library is now statically linked the same way as in
the dev version, so let's not try to put it into the output store
path.
All channels were built successfully on my Hydra at:

Just silencing the error will not prevent Chromium from trying to start
up the SUID sandbox anyway, thus flooding stderr with:
LaunchProcess: failed to execvp:
After digging a bit in the source code I found out that the SUID sandbox
binary is indeed used, but only for setting oom_score_adj within the
user namespace (as "root"). So let's build the sandbox binary and of
course don't set setuid bit.
These annoying error messages were originally introduced by 0aad4b7 and
I'm deeply sorry for annoying you guys out there with them.
Signed-off-by: aszlig <aszlig@redmoonstudios.org>
Since 0aad4b7, we no longer need to have an external sandbox binary,
because the upstream implementation of the user namespace sandbox no
longer needs an external sandbox binary.
In our implementation of the user namespace sandbox, we (ab)used the
setuid sandbox to run non-setuid and set up user namespaces instead.
Because our implementation is no longer needed, we can safely drop the
external binary entirely.

There has been some recent news about that component extension on hacker
news:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9724409
Even though on our side it won't work, because we don't have NaCl
enabled by default or even working (I honestly haven't tested if it even
builds if enabled), we might get to the point where we can build with
NaCl enabled.
But until and even after that day, we want to have explicit control on
whether this extension is enabled.
Please also have a look at these two issues explaining the details

Changes included:
- Update versions.
- Use gyp package not gyp_svn1977.
- Remove icu from buildInputs, since this causes a build error due to inferference with use_system_icu=false.
- Remove the hack that inserts the absolute path into gyp files, and pass `--depth .` to gyp. This resolves the `third_party/angle` gyp error.
- Do a normal copy of the source code not a symlink copy. This resolves some link error where the symlinks interfere with relative paths (seems like because gyp resolves symlinks first). Note, this used to be worked around with the absolute path insertion hack.
- Change the bucketURL in update.nix to https (for more secure updates).
Works around regression from a305e6855d.
We're also marking it lowPrio to make sure nobody will accidentally
reference it using nix-env -i.

After the pulseaudio refactor in NixOS/nixpkgs@a2a3508, libcap is no
longer propagated to chromium anymore. And we need to have libcap for
the renderer sandbox.
Build log: https://hydra.nixos.org/build/21689759/nixlog/1/raw
What makes me wonder is that given that this was propagated by
pulseaudio noone either seemed to have disabled pulseaudio support for
Chromium or just didn't report the build failure.
Half-assed testing done against all channels, because it builds the
sandbox and we can't break an already broken build twice (or maybe we
can, who knows...).

This reverts commit 0696b0ef78.
Okay, now finally, let's get this straight. We actually *want*
preferLocalBuild, *because* we have improved the source splitup in
c92dbffeac.
The idea is to use local builds in order to prevent the source being
pushed to a remote machine, splitted up there (and thus copied again)
and then being copied *again* FROM the remote machine.

This reverts commit fdb5cf8107.
The reason I'm reverting this is that the implications this had on the
IO load of Hydra are fixed by c92dbffeac.
Signed-off-by: aszlig <aszlig@redmoonstudios.org>
So far we've done the source code split up by using the generic
unpackPhase and copying it all over into the different outputs.
However, this had the problem of generating the I/O load of about three
times the size of the source tree: First at fetchurl of the tarball
(although it's not as much because it's compressed), second at
unpackPhase and third at installPhase.
Now we don't use installPhase anymore and directly unpack into the
output paths, which unfortunately becomes quite a bit more complex
because we need to transform the paths of the tar file on the fly.
I've also tried using GNU Tar's --to-command option to even untar *and*
patch it at the same time, but forking for every single file in the
tarball gets REALLY slow and also gets even more complex than this two
stage approach because you need to make sure that the patch file is
applied correctly, for example for files that don't yet exist but are to
be created by the patch file.
We're using --anchored and --no-wildcards-match-slash here to prevent
accidentally excluding files we don't want to exclude. One example is
something like v8/tools/gyp/v8.gyp.
So the current approach is some compromise between complexity and speed
and should hopefully get rid of the Hydra build timeouts by lowering I/O
load.

Overview of the updated versions:
stable: 40.0.2214.91 -> 40.0.2214.115
beta: 41.0.2272.16 -> 41.0.2272.64
dev: 41.0.2272.16 -> 42.0.2305.3
Introduces 42.0.2305.3 as the new dev version, which no longer requires
our user namespaces sandbox patch. Thanks to everyone participating in
https://crbug.com/312380 for finally having this upstream.
In the course of supporting the official namespace sandbox (that's what
the user namespace sandbox is called), a few things needed to be fixed
for version 42:
* Add an updated nix_plugin_paths.patch, because the old
one tries to patch the path for libpdf, which is now natively included
in Chromium.
* Don't copy libpdf.so to libexec path for version 42, it's no longer
needed as it's completely built-in now.
* Disable SUID sandbox directly in the source instead of going the easy
route of passing --disable-setuid-sandbox. The reason is that with
the command line flag a nasty nagbar will appear.

We're propagating the plugin flags by importing from another Nix
expression file, which in turn exports the Nix path to the wrapper. This
causes that the store path isn't referenced in the wrapper and the path
isn't recognized by scanning the wrapper script (only those already
referenced at build time are).
So let's add the activated plugins to the buildInputs of the wrapper.

This brings a new stable version 40.0.2214.91 along with a beta update
to version 41.0.2272.16, the dev channel is still stuck at version
41.0.2272.12 and within the next days will jump to version 42.
For this reason, I've done some cheating here and brought the beta
channel in par with the dev channel, because dev is older than beta on
OmahaProxy.
Here's an overview of the channel upgrades:
stable: 39.0.2171.65 -> 40.0.2214.91 [1]
beta: 40.0.2214.10 -> 41.0.2272.16 [1] [2] [3]
dev: 41.0.2224.3 -> 41.0.2272.16 [1] [2] [3]
[1]: We needed to patch in locations of lib{pci,udev}.so, because
Chromium tries to load them at runtime. For version 41 startup will
fail if it is unable to load libudev, but it also has the advantage
that this fixes GPU detection using libpci in the stable version,
which in turn could fix a few bugs on NixOS.
[2]: The upstream Debian package for the binary plugins now uses XZ
compression for the enclosed data tarball.
[3]: Chromium 41 needs {shapshot,natives}_blob.bin in order to start up,
so let's cp it among with the .pak files to avoid adding a
conditional for version 40.
The release annoucement of the stable channel update can be found here:
http://googlechromereleases.blogspot.de/2015/01/stable-update.html
Note that this release contains 62 security fixes(!) and I'm hereby
apologizing for the delay of this update.

Writing the gid_map is already non-fatal, but the actual sandbox process
still tries to setresgid() to nogroup (usually 65534). This however
fails, because if user namespace sandboxing is present, the namespace
doesn't have CAP_SETGID at this point.
Fortunately, the effective GID is already 65534, so we just need to
check whether the target gid matches and only(!) setresgid() if it
doesn't.
So if someone would run a SUID version of the sandbox, it would still
work nonetheless without a negative impact on security.

This is more of an attempt rather than a real fix (or maybe it is? let's
see) for the corrupted .pyc files during build. I believe the reason we
get these are likely due to several instances of the Python interpreter
that run in parallel and one of these processes might still be writing
the .pyc file.
So, rather than deleting all .pyc files, we now precompile then in order
to avoid any build process trying to generate any .pyc file.

We now create Nix expressions within the plugin output path(s) which
then will be imported and incorporated into the wrapper. This makes it
easier for other plugins to provide configuration settings to the main

Of course, in order to allow for external plugins we need to allow
passing a list of plugins to the Chromium derivation, but right now we

Introduces environment variables to set plugin base paths. The schema
for these is like NIX_CHROMIUM_PLUGIN_PATH_<N>. Where <N> is the path

* NIX_CHROMIUM_PLUGIN_PATH_PEPPERFLASH
* NIX_CHROMIUM_PLUGIN_PATH_FILEFLASH
* NIX_CHROMIUM_PLUGIN_PATH_PDF
* NIX_CHROMIUM_PLUGIN_PATH_FILE_EFFECTS
* NIX_CHROMIUM_PLUGIN_PATH_NACL
* NIX_CHROMIUM_PLUGIN_PATH_PNACL
* NIX_CHROMIUM_PLUGIN_PATH_WIDEVINE
Whereas NIX_CHROMIUM_PLUGIN_PATH_ALL is the plugin base path for every
path which is not set explicitly, so by setting ..._ALL and not setting
..._WIDEVINE, the widevine plugin will be searched in the directory
specified using ..._ALL.
Right now, the only plugin where this is used is widevine, and it still

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
information needed in order to fetch the source tarballs.
This means, that the sources.nix now doesn't contain URLs and only
versions and the corresponding SHA256 hashes. Of course, right now this
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.

Next, we're going to refactor update.sh and the first step is to ensure
that we keep everything related to sources into its own subdirectory to
not clutter up the main directory too much.

We don't want ta have the source derivation in the runtime dependencies
of the browser itself. Also, we've broken the Firefox wrapper, because
we've no longer exposed the packageName attribute.

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
again once https://crbug.com/239107 and https://crbug.com/239181 are
fixed in _stable_ (I don't want to introduce *lots* of conditionals on
the version either).

We obviously don't want the Hydra job of nixpkgs to fail, so we need to
make sure that we have a proper meta attribute on the outermost
derivation.
For builds based on the Chromium source tree (like for example libcef),
we can still move the wrapper elsewhere when we need it.
