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 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.

The current beta version of chromium just became stable, which means that we are

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

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

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?

This dependency has recently been added to chromium while we didn't notice it,
so let's avoid to use the bundled version.
It might make sense to remove the unneeded files in third_party/ based on a
whitelist, so that we notice future changes like this earlier.

The BPF renderer sandbox is now the default in 23. But still, it is not regarded

Well, after looking a bit more thoroughly through the zlib patch from the
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
patched version in nixpkgs zlib derivation.
Until the issue is fixed upstream we're hereby safer off turning it off in
Chromium and thus use the bundled and patched version.

SVN revision 151720 breaks the build with system zlib, see:
http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome?view=rev&revision=151720
The issue here is, that r151720 introduces changes directly in zlib, which
aren't upstream and unfortunately there is no more information stating the exact
reasons for this change, as all references to it are not publicly available:
http://crbug.com/139744https://chromiumcodereview.appspot.com/10837057
So for the moment, we're going to add a patch, which applies to v22 and higher,
which essentially reverts r151720, until either more information on the issue is
available or it is resolved upstream.
As someone has already reported the issue, we just need to track the following

This enables legacy seccomp sandbox by default even on chromium 22, because the
BPF sandbox is still work in progress, please see:
http://crbug.com/139872http://crbug.com/130662
Because the BPF seccomp sandbox is used in case the legacy seccomp mode
initialization fails, we might need to patch this again, as soon as the BPF
sandbox is fully implemented to fall back to legacy seccomp and use BPF by
default.
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.
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.
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.
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.
