The sha256 has changed upstream for 30.0.1566.2 and in addition there is
a new version available, so let's switch to the new version.
Unfortunately the user namespaces sandbox patch doesn't apply anymore
because of http://crbug.com/242290, so this adds a rebased version on
top of the current trunk of Chromium.
In order to build version 30, file is now needed as an additional build
input, because it is used by gyp.

So, chromium 30 entered the dev release channel, so the overview of the
current versions is:
stable: 28.0.1500.52 -> 28.0.1500.71 (builds fine, tested)
beta: 28.0.1500.52 -> 29.0.1547.22 (builds fine, tested)

As requested by some users, we finally have support for cloud sync,
spelling, geolocation and a lot more of the services that require API
keys from Google. Details about which services are involved can be found

Thanks to Paweł Hajdan <phajdan@google.com> for giving us permission to
distribute the API keys with our build of Chromium:
> Note that the public Terms of Service do not allow distribution of the

As noted in the source: Those keys are for use in NixOS/nixpkgs ONLY!

Thanks to @jcumming for notifying me about this in #nixos:
03:47 < jack_c> aszlig: chromium builds with -Werror by default.
03:47 < jack_c> Putting: werror = "";

...
03:52 < jack_c> aszlig: agree -Werror is a good linting tool, but it should
probably disabled for distribution.
So, I guess it makes sense in our case, especially because different GCC
versions will issue different warnings.

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And as version 27 is outdated, we no longer need to distinguish versions for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.

The following new versions were introduced:

This brings in Chromium 27 as the new stable version.
Specific versions of the updated channels:
stable: 26.0.1410.63 -> 27.0.1453.93 (builds fine, tested)
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

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:
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.

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

Until the issue is fixed upstream we're hereby safer off turning it off in

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
for more important things, but for me personally those minor annoyances can turn
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.
So, now even Firefox can be built with our shiny new fixed up NSS derivation,
and as this is desired (especially if we want to support certificates from the
CA bundle), let's make it the default.
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.
The reason is because unpacking debian packages requires fewer dependencies (ar,
gzip and tar, nothing more), and in addition we can explicitly reference a
version number from the apt repository.
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.
The configure script picks up libbsd.so from the host machine.
It uses simple find command to locate the file, but the linker
can not use it.
The fix replace the search path to /no-such-path
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.
