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.

This reverts commit b7cbb4da11.
The main reason behind this - apart from looking ugly - is that it didn't really
solve anything, see:
http://hydra.nixos.org/build/4198299
So, we need a different and less hacky approach...

So, chromium 25 is now stable, so we really need to get the build fixed on Hydra
as soon as possible. And let's hope without nasty workarounds.
This commits updates dev and beta channels to version 26.0.1410.12, because
version 27.0.1423.0 seems to be unavailable right now. Build is running
successfully on my machine, and the browser works as well on the sites I usually
visit.

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
and picking cherries, we now go out for the slaughter until someone brings us
the damn cherries because we are FUURRRIII... no well... time for sleep :-)
May the mighty Hydra be with us!
Thanks to our great fellow @cillianderoiste, for joining the battle with his

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:
http://hydra.nixos.org/build/4173075http://hydra.nixos.org/build/4173066
As I can't reproduce this on my local system (I've disabled the option
CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR here), let's just hope that libvpx is the only part
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 is just in order to make it easier to determine the latest upstream version
from the Packages file of Google's APT repository.

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.

Let's begin with the most trivial one: The stable version.
This version just contains a few bug fixes and builds fine so far.

Starting with version 26, there is a chromium-$version-lite package and it is an
LZMA archive as well, so download size is reduced by about 44%.

The current beta version of chromium just became stable, which means that we are
now exactly in par with the beta channel.

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.

The patch previously was fetched from an Arch Linux contributor but is no longer
available there anymore. So, this is only an intermediate fix until channels get
updated (very soon I hope, even though chromium 25 could get quite messy).

stable: 23.0.1271.95 -> 23.0.1271.97 (tested and works)
beta: 24.0.1312.27 -> 24.0.1312.35 (tested and works)
The dev version doesn't build in its newest incarnation, so we will need to fix
and/or patch it before pushing upstream.

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?
