Thanks to Ilya Fedin and John Preston we're now allowed to reuse the
API ID of the Snap package to avoid hitting rate limits.
This finally resolves#55271 #YAY \o/
This disables the WebRTC integration for now (I didn't really look into
it so far, but probably until we have something like
TDESKTOP_USE_PACKAGED_WEBRTC=OFF).
After making `ffmpeg` point to the latest `ffmpeg_4`, all packages that
used `ffmpeg` without requiring a specific version now use ffmpeg_3
explicitly so they shouldn't change.
Regarding microsoft_gsl: The CMake scripts from Telegram-Desktop did not
find it anymore (I didn't investigate this) and Arch already made this
change during the last update. It's probably best to do the same here
especially since Telegram-Desktop is currently based on GSL 3.0.1 while
our version is still at 2.1.0.
This is not required anymore and therefore a refactoring/cleanup
(verified with diffoscope that only the output paths change).
Credit to @ilya-fedin for bringing this to my attention.
This also properly enables the spell checking with enchant2.
Note: This requires a proper configuration.
A quick and dirty solution (not recommended) could look like this:
install -Dt ~/.config/enchant/hunspell/ $(nix-build -A hunspellDicts.en_US)/share/hunspell/en_US.{aff,dic}
The GYP build is now deprecated [0].
This results in a large number of changes and many custom Nix patches
aren't required anymore (and probably haven't been required for quite
some time now, the derivation got a bit outdated...).
A lot of the changes in this commit are based on the changes of the
Arch package [1][2] (which our package is based upon).
Rough overview of the changes:
- gcc9 -> ninja (optional but let's follow Arch here)
- Dropped GYP, only CMake now
- But: Python is still required
- fetchFromGitHub -> fetchurl (optional?)
- Apply all Arch patches and remove old patches
- Requires one new patch for range-v3
- New dependencies: enchant2, lz4, xxHash
- TODO: Plus a few new dependencies that shouldn't be required
- Cleanup: Irrelevant flags (e.g. GYP_DEFINES) and patches (e.g. sed)
- Simplifies quite a few things :)
- Some additional documentation and TODOs

Unfortunately the previous release (1.8.1) was crashing due to a
segmentation fault (didn't have time to investigate), but this release
works fine so far.
Had to switch from GCC 8 to GCC 9 due to the following internal compiler
error:
/nix/store/qsc6w1cnjp4pr7d90bhc0sid01i8k0a0-range-v3-0.5.0/include/range/v3/utility/compressed_pair.hpp:50:92: internal compiler error: in tsubst_pack_expansion, at cp/pt.c:12200

This is a refactoring of "tdesktop", i.e. the resulting derivation isn't
affected by this commit (only the tdesktopPackages.* attributes are
removed).
I decided to remove the attributes "tdesktopPackages.*" as I don't
maintain the preview version anymore. There are regular stable releases
and we depend on the patches from Arch Linux which only track the stable
version as well, i.e. I would have to maintain our own patches, which
would either require an additional repository or "bloat" Nixpkgs (apart
from the fact that it would be unnecessarily time-consuming).
GCC 8.x is required to avoid the following error:
cc1plus: error: -Werror=class-memaccess: no option -Wclass-memaccess
If we build without "-Wno-error=class-memaccess" the build should fail
and the upstream requirements were raised from GCC 7 to GCC 8 anyway:

The two additional patches are required to avoid build errors like this:
/build/source/Telegram/ThirdParty/qtlottie/src/bodymovin/bmbase.cpp:123:12:

Whenever we create scripts that are installed to $out, we must use runtimeShell
in order to get the shell that can be executed on the machine we create the
package for. This is relevant for cross-compiling. The only use case for
stdenv.shell are scripts that are executed as part of the build system.
Usages in checkPhase are borderline however to decrease the likelyhood
of people copying the wrong examples, I decided to use runtimeShell as well.
TODO: We're still using the old API ID (like the Arch package) which
should be used for testing only.
I've tried to contact the Telegram team multiple times via different
channels but didn't get a response so far. See [0],[1] for more details.

Note: I'm not packaging this as stable for now as there might be some
issues left (see GitHub), it says "Version 1.3 alpha" in the bottom left
corner, and I've only got a "New in version 1.2.25" message.
Telegram was crashing when executed within a pure environment
(nix-shell -p tdesktop --pure).
Setting the environment variables QT_PLUGIN_PATH and XDG_RUNTIME_DIR
should resolve this issue. Fix#33729.
* pkgs: refactor needless quoting of homepage meta attribute
A lot of packages are needlessly quoting the homepage meta attribute
(about 1400, 22%), this commit refactors all of those instances.
* pkgs: Fixing some links that were wrongfully unquoted in the previous
commit
* Fixed some instances
This package requires a ridiculous amount of time to maintain, with
their build system changing from one completely ad-hoc way to
another. More hacks for the throne of hacks...
