Working on Chromium really drives me nuts due to its build time, also I
really don't have quite a lot of time these days to properly maintain it
anymore.

This has been introduced by me in 690a845 and discovered by @vcunat in
his comment over at:

It's really a bit ugly to have builds running during evaluation, but
back when I made that commit the reason was to avoid having to shell
quote the hell out of it (see the comment in mkPluginInfo for the
reason).
Now we propagate plugin flags and environment variables as a list of
arguments in a plain file that's appended verbatim to makeWrapper, so
it shouldn't do any builds anymore during instantiation.
I have tested this with both just WideVine and just Flash enabled as
well as both in combination and none of the plugins and the output seems
correct. However I didn't test to run Chromium with the new
implementation.

I'm not certain about this, so I'm trying for firefox only.
Rationale: it might be confusing to see two firefox-${version} instances
in logs or paths, so I wanted to differentiate them.
- I chose to keep `browser-unwrapped` attributes so that it's much
easier to override parameters for the browser (through `packageOverrides`).
- Aliases `browserWrapper` are retained for now, as usual.
The official repository has last been updated in 2013,
meanwhile there are a lot of issues like non-existant
certificate verification. The debian repository is actively
maintained and already includes most of our custom patches,
so we use it instead.
Fixes#12257, closes#12259.
vcunat appended commit date to version.
- I don't think that amount of code belonged into all-packages.nix.
- Now the default name of the wrapped package is identical
with the command that runs the browser.
- Other defaults were changed according to how the wrapper is
(almost always) used.
- `meta` is improved: mostly inherited with priority above
the unwrapped package.
The Bitmessage protocol v3 became mandatory on 16 Nov 2014 and notbit does not support it, nor has there been any activity in the project repository since then.

The mass errors on Hydra seem transient; I verified ghc on i686-linux.
Only darwin jobs are queued ATM. There's a libpng security update
included in this merge, so I don't want to wait too long.
This improves our Bundler integration (i.e. `bundlerEnv`).
Before describing the implementation differences, I'd like to point a
breaking change: buildRubyGem now expects `gemName` and `version` as
arguments, rather than a `name` attribute in the form of
"<gem-name>-<version>".
Now for the differences in implementation.
The previous implementation installed all gems at once in a single
derivation. This was made possible by using a set of monkey-patches to
prevent Bundler from downloading gems impurely, and to help Bundler
find and activate all required gems prior to installation. This had
several downsides:
* The patches were really hard to understand, and required subtle
interaction with the rest of the build environment.
* A single install failure would cause the entire derivation to fail.
The new implementation takes a different approach: we install gems into
separate derivations, and then present Bundler with a symlink forest
thereof. This has a couple benefits over the existing approach:
* Fewer patches are required, with less interplay with the rest of the
build environment.
* Changes to one gem no longer cause a rebuild of the entire dependency
graph.
* Builds take 20% less time (using gitlab as a reference).
It's unfortunate that we still have to muck with Bundler's internals,
though it's unavoidable with the way that Bundler is currently designed.
There are a number improvements that could be made in Bundler that would
simplify our packaging story:
* Bundler requires all installed gems reside within the same prefix
(GEM_HOME), unlike RubyGems which allows for multiple prefixes to
be specified through GEM_PATH. It would be ideal if Bundler allowed
for packages to be installed and sourced from multiple prefixes.
* Bundler installs git sources very differently from how RubyGems
installs gem packages, and, unlike RubyGems, it doesn't provide a
public interface (CLI or programmatic) to guide the installation of a
single gem. We are presented with the options of either
reimplementing a considerable portion Bundler, or patch and use parts
of its internals; I choose the latter. Ideally, there would be a way
to install gems from git sources in a manner similar to how we drive
`gem` to install gem packages.
* When a bundled program is executed (via `bundle exec` or a
binstub that does `require 'bundler/setup'`), the setup process reads
the Gemfile.lock, activates the dependencies, re-serializes the lock
file it read earlier, and then attempts to overwrite the Gemfile.lock
if the contents aren't bit-identical. I think the reasoning is that
by merely running an application with a newer version of Bundler, you'll
automatically keep the Gemfile.lock up-to-date with any changes in the
format. Unfortunately, that doesn't play well with any form of
packaging, because bundler will immediately cause the application to
abort when it attempts to write to the read-only Gemfile.lock in the
store. We work around this by normalizing the Gemfile.lock with the
version of Bundler that we'll use at runtime before we copy it into
the store. This feels fragile, but it's the best we can do without
changes upstream, or resorting to more delicate hacks.
With all of the challenges in using Bundler, one might wonder why we
can't just cut Bundler out of the picture and use RubyGems. After all,
Nix provides most of the isolation that Bundler is used for anyway.
The problem, however, is that almost every Rails application calls
`Bundler::require` at startup (by way of the default project templates).
Because bundler will then, by default, `require` each gem listed in the
Gemfile, Rails applications are almost always written such that none of
the source files explicitly require their dependencies. That leaves us
with two options: support and use Bundler, or maintain massive patches
for every Rails application that we package.
Closes#8612
Changes:
- Fix: XML output had extra commas, broken since previous version
- Fix: unintended shared pointer modification in mosecs() sometimes resulted
in wrong month name to be shown for the current month
- Fix: possible buffer overflow in /proc/net/dev parsing, requires corrupted
content in /proc/net/dev or use of address sanitizer
- Use ANSI escape codes in -l and -tr modes for cursor location manipulation
instead of printing backspaces, hide cursor while output is active
- Improve database import robustness
- Improve support for Asian UTF-8 date strings
- Replace hand written Makefiles with Autotools
- Add --alwaysadd parameter to daemon for allowing automatic addition of
interfaces even if the database directory was populated during startup
