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.
virtualbox: Fix build for manual kernel.
This should fix building VirtualBox against kernels made using the new
manual kernel configuration system.
This has been tested with the standard nixpkgs kernel as well.
First of all, modules won't install when there is no "make modules" prior to it,
so we're doing this now with a new function called forEachModule, so we can
avoid duplication as much as possible.
In addition this sets $sourcedir to the current directory of the configurePhase,
so we're able to find the source tree later on, after several chdir()s.
The scripts/depmod.sh checks whether the path in $DEPMOD is executable and only
executes it if that's the case. So, by setting DEPMOD to "/do_not_use_depmod"
the destination path doesn't exist _and_ thus isn't executable aswell.
The for loop didn't find $curdir, because it was set _after_ the directory has
been changed. The variable is now called $srcroot and is set before the
installPhase is changing directories.
Don't rely on VirtualBox's in-tree build scripts to set include paths correctly
and use the official way of the Linux kernel to build the modules. That way we
don't need to make ugly symlinks in the kernel tree or heavily patch VirtualBox.
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.
Previous commit reverted Xen back to 4.0.3 because xend from 4.1.* and newer
hangs for unknown reasons.
The new "xl" toolstack from 4.1.* and unstable works, yet PCI passthrough is not
supported by xl in 4.1.* and is broken in the unstable.
With this patch I was able to passthrough ATI Radeon HD 6950 without 3D
acceleration, though, to both Linux and Windows guests. Which is the best
archived result with Xen PCI passthrough on NixOS after trying out all possible
Xen versions.
Same VGA card works fine if passed through into a guest with KVM (acceleration,
GPGPU, everything works). I should have tried KVM from the start.
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
I switch off the build of ocaml compilers to native code, and add
a 'passthru' that unison can use to see if it needs to call the native
or the bytecode compiler.
- The make variable PREFIX must be at build time because common.mk uses it to
decide where to expect $SYSCONFDIR.
- The make target "all" is run by default and needn't be set explicitly.
- Shebang paths in scripts are patched automatically be the default builder,
we don't have to do that manually.
Add lv2 support
All builds, and the only change that's not a pure addition is to
ardour3, which Cillian maintains.
If there are future lv2 plugins coming, it may make sense to group them
somehow in all-packages.
LV2 is a portable plugin standard for audio systems, similar in scope to LADSPA, VST, AU, and others. The Calf audio plugin pack uses LV2 and Ardour3 has also been updated to support LV2 Plugins
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.
It failds to build with xine-lib, but it goes on as it's
not a strong requirement. Then, the final path is not dependant
on xine anymore. I hope next releases fix this.

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.
