Seems to be needed in order to view Netflix content, but this only pulls
in the proprietary plugin and doesn't yet compile Chromium with support
for it, so this is only in preparation for the bright and shiny future
(where we all have rootkits implanted in our body).
Of course, this plugin is disabled by default as well as all the other
proprietary plugins.
For the plugin derivation, we now do the checkPhase _after_ the
installPhase, to make sure we also detect RPATHs pointing to the plugin
directory itself, because the shared object files only exist after the
installPhase.

With this commit, the following new upstream versions are introduced:
stable: 37.0.2062.94 -> 37.0.2062.120
beta: 38.0.2125.24 -> 38.0.2125.101
dev: 39.0.2138.3 -> 39.0.2171.7
All channels built fine on my machine and were tested against a few
sites.
The missing_alg_import.patch now is no longer needed for version 39, so
we're not applying it there anymore.

With this commit, the following new upstream versions are introduced:
stable: 36.0.1985.125 -> 37.0.2062.94
beta: 37.0.2062.58 -> 37.0.2062.94
dev: 38.0.2107.3 -> 38.0.2125.8
All channels built fine on my machine and were tested against a few

Stable and beta channel now contain the same release, because version
37 hit the stable channel. For release notes, please have a look at the
announcement:
http://googlechromereleases.blogspot.de/2014/08/stable-channel-update_26.html
Of course we're also dropping all version 36 specific crap, such as the
architecture-specific target suffix for builds, which now is no longer
needed.
The gyp flag use_mojo=0 is no longer needed, as it was a workaround
concerning version 37.0.2054.3 only.

(My OCD kicked in today...)
Remove repeated package names, capitalize first word, remove trailing
periods and move overlong descriptions to longDescription.
I also simplified some descriptions as well, when they were particularly
long or technical, often based on Arch Linux' package descriptions.
I've tried to stay away from generated expressions (and I think I
succeeded).
Some specifics worth mentioning:
* cron, has "Vixie Cron" in its description. The "Vixie" part is not
mentioned anywhere else. I kept it in a parenthesis at the end of the
description.
* ctags description started with "Exuberant Ctags ...", and the
"exuberant" part is not mentioned elsewhere. Kept it in a parenthesis
at the end of description.
* nix has the description "The Nix Deployment System". Since that
doesn't really say much what it is/does (especially after removing
the package name!), I changed that to "Powerful package manager that
makes package management reliable and reproducible" (borrowed from
nixos.org).
* Tons of "GNU Foo, Foo is a [the important bits]" descriptions
is changed to just [the important bits]. If the package name doesn't
contain GNU I don't think it's needed to say it in the description
either.

With this commit, the following new upstream versions are introduced:
stable: 35.0.1916.153 -> 36.0.1985.125
beta: 36.0.1985.84 -> 37.0.2062.44
dev: 37.0.2054.3 -> 38.0.2101.0
All builds were successfully tested on my machine, however in order to
update the beta and dev channels, a few additional modifications were
necessary:
* Don't update address_input_strings.grdp anymore because this has been
done/fixed upstream and was relevant in version 37.0.2054.3 _only_.
* No need to fix references to /usr/bin/gcc in version 38 anymore.
* Constrain patch for Angle (introduced in 4cbedd7) to version 37 only,
because it already has been applied upstream in version 38.
* Drop user namespaces patch for version 31 up until version 35,
because version 36 is already in stable.
* Don't try to build bundled Clang and/or even build using Clang.
* Remove obsolete patchPhase commands that are specific to version 35
and older.
While testing the dev version 38 I came accross a font rendering issue
which needs to be addressed ASAP (perhaps related to #3187), however the
browser works otherwise.

Verified working with Firefox, however it still doesn't work with
Chromium because of the NPAPI vs PPAPI thing.
Chrome's Pepper Plugin API doesn't seem to look for
plugins in the MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH, anyway I left them there for others to
find the solution :-)
This is because of a single file that symlinks to the source output
path:
libexec/chromium/resources/extension/demo/library.js
Target within source output path:
chrome/browser/resources/extension_resource/demo/library.js
So we just need to ensure that the cp command follows symlinks during
installPhase and we should no longer have this unnecessary dependency.

After refactoring the updater we no longer did properly propagate the
exit code from the nix-prefetch-url call to the main script. So if the
newest version could not be fetched it didn't even bother to try the

Let's ensure we do all architecture-dependant stuff inside
mkChromiumDerivation and not pass archInfo around, so we can properly
decouple it from the main function.
This partially reverts 8d54dc6d13.
The main reason for doing this is because the architecture information
is no longer required in Chromium 37, so let's uglify and XXX it in
common.nix and remove it once version 37 hits the stable channel.

This fixes build for version 36, which i accidentally broke in commit
f6e31fadd8.
The reason this happened, was that my Hydra didn't pick up the latest
commit and I actually tested and built the parent commit instead of the
update commit.
So, this commit is the real "builds fine, tested" for all channels.
Also, the sandbox client initalization has moved into
setuid_sandbox_client.cc, so we need to move the lookup of the
CHROMIUM_SANDBOX_BINARY_PATH environment variable there.

The system attribute was already there in the function head of the
shared update helper but it actually wasn't used and thus later the
import of <nixpkgs> was done using builtins.currentSystem instead of the
system attribute inherited from the source derivation.
Now we correctly propagate the attribute, so that even when running a
64bit kernel you can run a 32bit Chromium with binary plugins.

This fixes the issue of Chromium not being able to load the pulseaudio

We could also propagate the build inputs, but it would end up being the

This should fix the desktop icon location for both desktop entries (the

This implements some longstanding work of getting the Chromium
derivation more modular. Unfortunately, I didn't manage to decrease the
compile time, which was one of the primary goal for doing the refactor.
A main reason this didn't work out well was the fact that most bundled
libraries are so heavily patched that it's not possible within a limited
time frame to decouple it from the main derivation.
However, it should now be easier to build other derivations that build
upon Chromium, like libcef. Also, it finally adds support for the
non-free PepperAPI Flash and PDF plugins and support for fetching the
corresponding versions through the updater.
The packageName attribute defines the output path and binary name of the
product that's going to be created, so we really want to have "chromium"
instead of "chromium-browser" here, especially for the resulting binary.

We already have a desktop icon from the browser wrapper, so this is only
for people who do not use the wrapper (for example if you don't want to
use Mozilla plugins).
Also, we someday might want to propagate the desktop item to the browser
wrapper as well.

For the new version 36, we needed to rebase our user namespaces sandbox
patch, because http://crbug.com/312380 is preparing for an upstream
implementation of the same functionality.
Also, we need to add ply and jinja2 to the depends on version 36. This
is done unconditionally, because I want to avoid cluttering up the
expressions with various versionOlder checks.
The sandbox binary had to be fixed as well and we no longer use system
zlib, as - who might have guessed it - it's a fast moving target at
Chromium as well.

The version of v8 to use for Chromium is heavily tied to the specific

This results in a new function called mkChromiumDerivation, which can be
used to easily build packages that are based on the Chromium source
tree.
We pass through this function as mkDerivation in the chromium wrappre,
so in the end if you want to create such a package, something like:
chromium.mkDerivation (base: {
name = "your-shiny-package-based-on-chromium";
...
})
will suffice.
Of course, this is only the first step towards this functionality,
because right now I'm not even sure the Chromium browser itself will
build.

This cases the Debian binaries to be fetched from Google's official APT
repository. If we aren't able to find a package from the APT repository,
it's very likely that it already got deleted upstream and we need to
fallback to mirrors instead.
Unfortunately, we can't use mirrors for updating, because Google doesn't
sign the Debian packages themselves and only the release files.
We're going to hook it into a Chromium updater soon, making the sha256
hashes publicly available, so if it is missing, we can still put the
sha256 manually into sources.nix, without risking anything by blindly
fetching from one of the provided mirrors.

The updater is now splitted between a shellscript and a Nix expression
file which contains helpers and lookup functions to reconstruct all
information needed in order to fetch the source tarballs.
This means, that the sources.nix now doesn't contain URLs and only
versions and the corresponding SHA256 hashes. Of course, right now this
sounds like it's unnecessary, but we're going to fetch binaries soon so
it's a good idea to not unnecessarily clutter up sources.nix.

I'm giving up on this after several attempts to correctly unbundle the
largest part, namely Google's WebKit fork Blink. Right now it's so much
tied into the Chromium source it's going to be fairly hard to do if
you're not working full time on it.
Also, the intermediate steps needed to do this properly would introduce
uneccesary complexity on our side, so we really need to finish this
without leaving it in the "messy" state in order to not make Chromium
even more difficult to maintain than it is already.
However, anyone who wants to proceed on this messy step is free to
revert this commit and continue doing so. In my case I'm going to try
again once https://crbug.com/239107 and https://crbug.com/239181 are
fixed in _stable_ (I don't want to introduce *lots* of conditionals on

We obviously don't want the Hydra job of nixpkgs to fail, so we need to

This is because of our symlink mess, as Chromium's build support scripts
