With this commit, the following new upstream versions are introduced:
stable: 38.0.2125.101 -> 39.0.2171.65
beta: 39.0.2171.19 -> 40.0.2214.10
dev: 40.0.2182.3 -> 41.0.2224.3
We can now remove missing_alg_import.patch, because version 39 is nom
stable and thus fixes the missing include directive upstream.
However, starting with version 40, we hit a few bugs with system
protobuf, so we're disabling it for every version >=40 to avoid
runtime/startup errors.
Here is the stable channel announcement for version 39 on the official
blog:

Seems to be needed in order to view Netflix content, but this only pulls
in the proprietary plugin and doesn't yet compile Chromium with support
for it, so this is only in preparation for the bright and shiny future
(where we all have rootkits implanted in our body).
Of course, this plugin is disabled by default as well as all the other
proprietary plugins.
For the plugin derivation, we now do the checkPhase _after_ the
installPhase, to make sure we also detect RPATHs pointing to the plugin
directory itself, because the shared object files only exist after the
installPhase.

With this commit, the following new upstream versions are introduced:
stable: 37.0.2062.94 -> 37.0.2062.120
beta: 38.0.2125.24 -> 38.0.2125.101
dev: 39.0.2138.3 -> 39.0.2171.7
All channels built fine on my machine and were tested against a few

The missing_alg_import.patch now is no longer needed for version 39, so
we're not applying it there anymore.

Of course we're also dropping all version 36 specific crap, such as the

With this commit, the following new upstream versions are introduced:
stable: 35.0.1916.153 -> 36.0.1985.125
beta: 36.0.1985.84 -> 37.0.2062.44
dev: 37.0.2054.3 -> 38.0.2101.0
All builds were successfully tested on my machine, however in order to
update the beta and dev channels, a few additional modifications were
necessary:
* Don't update address_input_strings.grdp anymore because this has been
done/fixed upstream and was relevant in version 37.0.2054.3 _only_.
* No need to fix references to /usr/bin/gcc in version 38 anymore.
* Constrain patch for Angle (introduced in 4cbedd7) to version 37 only,
because it already has been applied upstream in version 38.
* Drop user namespaces patch for version 31 up until version 35,
because version 36 is already in stable.
* Don't try to build bundled Clang and/or even build using Clang.
* Remove obsolete patchPhase commands that are specific to version 35
and older.
While testing the dev version 38 I came accross a font rendering issue
which needs to be addressed ASAP (perhaps related to #3187), however the
browser works otherwise.

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

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

We already have a desktop icon from the browser wrapper, so this is only

For the new version 36, we needed to rebase our user namespaces sandbox
patch, because http://crbug.com/312380 is preparing for an upstream
implementation of the same functionality.
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
expressions with various versionOlder checks.
The sandbox binary had to be fixed as well and we no longer use system
zlib, as - who might have guessed it - it's a fast moving target at
Chromium as well.

The version of v8 to use for Chromium is heavily tied to the specific

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
build.

This now uses the Debian package from the sources derivation instead of

Signed-off-by: aszlig <aszlig@redmoonstudios.org>
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.
Signed-off-by: aszlig <aszlig@redmoonstudios.org>
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.
Signed-off-by: aszlig <aszlig@redmoonstudios.org>
Next, we're going to refactor update.sh and the first step is to ensure

We don't want ta have the source derivation in the runtime dependencies

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.

This is because of our symlink mess, as Chromium's build support scripts
are trying to resolve everything based on absolute paths and we split
off the bundled sources from the main derivation.

patch up the gyp files and use references someday.

Now, we no longer tie the sandbox directly to the browser derivation but
wrap everything together into one derivation at the entry point at
default.nix.
Signed-off-by: aszlig <aszlig@redmoonstudios.org>
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.

This is hardcoded for the dev channel at the moment and we're going to

We currently can't build the -lite package because beta and dev versions

Build failure on Hydra:

This was caused by the update of file in 5885709.
As file seems to be used for only one substition in the gyp files, we
can now drop the build dependency on file and patch out the substition
expression, as it is done before actually testing if the value has been
set by -D (gyp, y u no have lazy eval!?).

Sorry to everyone for my inactivity lately.
The following changes were needed in order to build those new releases:
* 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
fixed later.

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.

03:47 < jack_c> aszlig: chromium builds with -Werror by default.
03:47 < jack_c> Putting: werror = "";

So, I guess it makes sense in our case, especially because different GCC

Chromium 28.0.1500.52 finally is stable, so the release channels are now:
stable: 28.0.1500.52 (builds fine, tested)
beta: 28.0.1500.52 (same as stable)
dev: 29.0.1541.2 (patch rebased, builds fine, tested)
The user namespace patch doesn't apply for version 29, so I had to rebase it
against the current trunk (revision 207742).
And as version 27 is outdated, we no longer need to distinguish versions for
patching the hardcoded gcc path in core/core.gypi.

beta: 27.0.1453.81 -> 28.0.1500.20 (builds fine, tested)
dev: 28.0.1500.11 -> 29.0.1516.3 (builds fine, tested)
We now can finally drop the following patches:
* glibc-2.16-use-siginfo_t.patch
* pulseaudio_array_bounds.patch
These were for version 26 only and thus are no longer needed.
In addition, we no longer have to use the pre/post attributes, as there is just
_one_ place that uses version specific stuff (path to webcore.gyp).

Wanted to do this a long time ago, but never had a reason to do it. But with
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.

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 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

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:

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

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.

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

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.
If you look at what changed, you'll surely notice that version 22 is now in
beta, so we have to expect things to break. And one thing that will break for
sure is the seccomp patch, because beginning with 22 the new BPF seccomp sandbox
is going to replace the mode 1 seccomp sandbox.
This commit doesn't add any feature and just fixes a small annoyance which
result in messages like this:
Checking if xxx applies...no.
See that there is no whitespace between "..." and "no"? Well, the world cares

into major annoyances.
chromium: Improve update script and update to latest versions.
Previously, we had a single hash of the whole version response from
omahaproxy.
Unfortunately the dev version is released quite frequently, so the hash
is of no use at all (we could rather directly fetch rather than
executing the script, because it will fetch all channels anyway).
This pull request adds two methods of caching:
* First of all, if a perticular version/channel is already in the
previous version of the sources.nix file, don't download it again.
* And the second method is to check if the current sha256 is already
downloaded and reads the corresponding sha256 from the lookup table.
So, this should really help to avoid flooding the download servers and
to not stress impatient users too much.
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.
Until this commit we had a single hash of the whole version response from
omahaproxy. This worked well for not updating unnecessarily but only until one
single channel has a new version available.
Unfortunately the dev version is released quite frequently, so the hash is of no
use at all (we could rather directly fetch everything everytime we execute the
script).
This led to this commit, which adds two methods of caching:
First of all, if a perticular version/channel is already in the previous version
of the sources.nix file, don't download it again.
And the second method is to check if the current sha256 is already downloaded
and reads the corresponding sha256 from the lookup table.
So, this should really help to avoid flooding the download servers and to not
stress impatient users too much.
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.
As already promised, the old single-channel source.nix is now obsolete as we're
using Omahaproxy now and the build of the stable version finishes successful and
the browser runs fine.
The previos update script just used the last version of chromium that showed up
at the bucket list at:
http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-official/
I'm not sure which channel this list actually holds, so I'm going to switch now
using the official release channels grabbed by omahaproxy. This also has the
advantage that we can provide different versions/flavors of chromium.
We now also write our data to sources.nix instead of source.nix, as we have more
than one source.
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'.
