This gets rid of the patch for newer pulseaudio library versions.
In addition, we now have protobuf and pciutils in default dependencies, as those
are required (or better: optional, but recommended and thus activated by the
default gyp options) by versions >= 25.
Also, we now no longer depend on libpng, but I'm not dropping this, as we want
to get back to libpng from nixpkgs again 'real soon'.
The stack-protector flag is now disabled by default accross all versions, and
probably didn't hurt back in version 24, but at least we're now no longer add it
dependant on a particular version.
And those pesky post/onlyXX version booleans are now pre/postXX, to ensure
better clarity.

This is needed in order to ensure that the postPatch hook is executed, which is
not when the patches list is empty.
It is fixed by 82f94df719 in stdenv-updates.
So as soon as the branch gets merged, we can get rid of this hack as well.

The main reason behind this - apart from looking ugly - is that it didn't really

So, this is our sledgehammer, forcing -fno-stack-protector for every gcc/g++ in
the univ... Chromium build. Of course this is a somewhat nasty fix and there
should be a real fix somewhere in Chromium 26. But instead of wandering around

This should at least mitigate our build error to only occur in v8 anymore.
Unfortunately we can't use v8 from nixpkgs right now, so we're going to put out
our sledgehammer in the next commit. Meanwhile, it doesn't hurt to get rid of
the bundled protobuf library, so let's do it.

Unfortunately, we have build errors for version 25 in the bundled libvpx:

that fails during build because of this.

The upgrade currently doesn't involve the -lite package, as we need to use a few
more dependencies from nixpkgs first before we can finally fully switch over to
the lite package, even though the update script will try to fetch it anyway.
In this update, one particular problem that arises in conjuction with the
seccomp BPF sandbox is caused by this commit:
https://chromiumcodereview.appspot.com/12209029
Which particularily filters flags to the clone() syscall. I've spent (wasted?) a
few hours figuring out the troublesome flag, eventually figuring it out and -
just by curiousity ("Do other distributions have the same problem?") - searched
the web for "chromium CLONE_DETACHED" and BEHOLD...
A post from our OWN mailinglist pops up with the same patch I intended to do:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.distributions.nixos/10356
So shame on me for not being subscribed to the mailing list, and big thanks to
Ian Farmer for the patch.
As a consequence I'm now subscribed.
So, back to chromium itself, version 26 builds fine and works so far without
much (more to come in later commits) trouble.
We also had to introduce three more dependencies:
* protobuf: This one is because we don't need to use the bundled one anymore,
so we can use the version in nixpkgs.
* speechd: Not sure whether this was bundled or not, but let's use nixpkgs
version as well to keep down build time.
* libXdamage: Needed for screen capturing support.

This update is a bit more problematic, as the bundled version of libpng is
version 1.2.45 and the version in nixpkgs is 1.5.13. Even if trying to run with
libpng12 from nixpkgs, it seems to collide with parts of the bundled version.
So, until this is either fixed upstream or we have a good solution, we're using
bundled libpng for chromium version 25 and higher.

For this update we needed to fix a bunch of things:
* Limit pulse_audio_fix.patch to version 24 only (fixed upstream in 25).
* Avoid the use of -fstack-protector for version 25.
The -fstack-protector option seems to be passed to libvpx now by default, so
simply use -fno-stack-protector in every occurence of -fstack-protector in
common.gypi. At least for now this will do it, but ultimately and for the future
we may want to have support for that in general.
And if we need that support in chromium directly depends on some of the next
updates to this package, as it seems that we now can switch to quite a lot of
nixpkgs dependencies instead of bundled dependencies.

We can still use the config attribute set from within all-packages to pass it to
the package expression, which we do in case of PulseAudio. In order to override
other stuff you can now conveniently use chromium.override without passing a
fake config attribute set.
Signed-off-by: aszlig <aszlig@redmoonstudios.org>
This allows for more flexible overrides instead of just passing a custom
configuration attrset like:
chromium.override { config.chromium.channel = "beta"; }
So you can now simply do:
chromium.override { channel = "beta"; }

The patch is no longer needed, as we are now using the BPF seccomp sandbox.
Unfortunately this is not marked "adequately sandboxed" in chrome://sandbox, as
it awaits security review on http://crbug.com/26528.
Unfortunately this gets us into a position where we can't be sure if the sandbox
is working correctly, especially because the non-BPF seccomp sandbox has a bunch
of stability issues and is marked legacy. And we definitely don't want to add
support for the setuid sandbox, do we?

Well, after looking a bit more thoroughly through the zlib patch from the
Chromium team, it seams, that this really fix an issue that hasn't yet been
applied upstream. Unfortunately neither Chromium nor Zlib give more information
about that issue. Maybe they're waiting until its resolved upstream and thus the
temporary patch?
The bad news is, that the fix for the vulnerability is incomplete in Chromium
and covers only the use cases of Chromium itself, so we can't include that
patched version in nixpkgs zlib derivation.
Until the issue is fixed upstream we're hereby safer off turning it off in
Chromium and thus use the bundled and patched version.

SVN revision 151720 breaks the build with system zlib, see:
http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome?view=rev&revision=151720
The issue here is, that r151720 introduces changes directly in zlib, which
aren't upstream and unfortunately there is no more information stating the exact
reasons for this change, as all references to it are not publicly available:
http://crbug.com/139744https://chromiumcodereview.appspot.com/10837057
So for the moment, we're going to add a patch, which applies to v22 and higher,
which essentially reverts r151720, until either more information on the issue is
available or it is resolved upstream.
As someone has already reported the issue, we just need to track the following

This enables legacy seccomp sandbox by default even on chromium 22, because the
BPF sandbox is still work in progress, please see:
http://crbug.com/139872http://crbug.com/130662
Because the BPF seccomp sandbox is used in case the legacy seccomp mode
initialization fails, we might need to patch this again, as soon as the BPF
sandbox is fully implemented to fall back to legacy seccomp and use BPF by
default.
We now have two patches for "default to seccomp" - one for Chromium 21 and one
for 22 or higher.
The patch doesn't apply in version 22 and newer, because mode 1 sandboxes are
connsidered "legacy" (well, apart from the fact that I'd personally prefer BPF
anyway), for reasons I wasn't able to find, yet. But let's proceed on BPF
integration and thus gain more insight on the exact reasons.
Hurray! This is the first time chromium is working with NSS _and_ is able to
verify certificates using the root certificates built in into NSS.
Optimally it would use certs from OPENSSL_X509_CERT_FILE, but at least it's
working, so let's add that at some later point.
This caused HTML5 video to not work because this shared library is loaded at
runtime.
Unfortunately we can't use system ffmpeg yet, because upgrading would break
builds of other packages, and it would result in a copy of ffmpeg laying around
aswell, so we can defer this until we have fixed ffmpeg.
Thanks to @bluescreen303 for the bug report.
Always did this manually by putting -j8 into make flags, which i didn't commit,
as it obviously doesn't make sense to hardcode. However, this flag makes more
sense and obviously we need to avoid overriding buildPhase.
Which is enabled by default if neither pulseaudio or chromium.pulseaudio is
explicitly set. The reason is that chromium falls back to ALSA in case no
pulseaudio is available.
In addition it was necessary to patch media.gyp to ignore the array-out-of-
bounds warning.
This makes it easier to remember, as so far the naming wasn't quite consistent,
sometimes "use*", sometimes "enable*". So in using just use the feature name
itself, it should be pretty clear.
These libraries are heavily patched by the chromium project itself, so let's use
the bundled versions as those won't build anyway and also don't break functional
purity.
We also need to patch the compilation process, so it allows deprecated
declarations when building support for the cups backend. In addition, we also
need to add libgcrypt to dependencies as it's needed by the cups implementation.
This also separates gcrypt and gconf from the basic dependencies.
Unfortunately we cannot get rid of dbus_glib altogether, but maybe we want to
work on a patch to get rid of it? On the other hand it seems to be a TODO of the
chromium project itself, so let's wait and see.
Currently building fails with NSS, so we're using OpenSSL by default. And that's
why we want to make this configurable so if we manage to fix that build failure,
we could switch to using NSS by default.
This is mainly because of the patch to use OPENSSL_X509_CERT_FILE as a way to
specify the CA bundle. A browser which isn't able to verify SSL certificates
might be somewhat useless.
This is to make it more consistent with the naming of the package file and also
consistent with the build, as we're not using the Google branded version.
In addition the derivation attribute set now has a packageName value which can
be used to easily switch the binary names and paths, just in case we want to
switch to using "chrome" (or something entirely different) again.
There are still some libraries left, which we either need to patch or provide
more recent versions. Plus we're going to use openssl, as libnss doesn't want to
do proper SSL (let's debug this later).
If useSELinux is not set, enable seccomp mode by default and avoid building the
SUID helper sandbox at all. This involves a small patch which causes the
commandline arguments to be swapped: --disable-seccomp-sandbox to disable it,
while the option is active by default.
It fetches the latest version based on the bucketlist XML from
commondatastorage and generates a "source.nix" which contains an attribute set
about where to fetch the latest version.
The XML is parsed in a somewhat hackish way using sed, but as this is just an
updater, its okay and we don't want to break a fly on the wheel by employing a
full XML parser.
This only gets chromium to build so far, installation is missing by upstream, so
we need to manually copy the corresponding files. And I guess with nix, we also
need to patch a few paths on installation.
Another issue is that at the moment, a lot of dependencies are used from the
source tree, rather than from the system.
Also, it would be nice to build using LLVM, as it really speeds up compilation a
*LOT* and also has the side effect of resulting in smaller binaries.
Working unit tests would be nice, too. Unfortunately they're quite heavyweight
and take hours to run, so I guess "someday" would be the most appropriate time
to integrate.
Further todo's:
- Allow to disable GConf, GIO and CUPS.
- Option to disable the sandbox (for whatever reason the user might have).
- Integrate gold binutils.
- Pulseaudio support.
- Clearly separate Linux specific stuff.
Instead, use the generic package override mechanism to use packages
from earlier bootstrap phases.
* Don't rely on the existence of attributes such as
`stdenv.coreutils'.
