HipChat (or rather its copy of Qt) expects to find keyboard data in
/usr/share/X11/xkb. So use a LD_PRELOAD library to intercept and
rewrite the Glibc calls that access those paths. We've been doing the
same thing with packages like Spotify, but now this functionality has
been abstracted into a reusable library, libredirect.so. It uses an
environment variable $NIX_REDIRECTS containing a colon-separated list
of path prefixes to be rewritten, e.g. "/foo=bar:/xyzzy=/fnord".

For some reason library paths are not set at all for some libraries during

solution.
Clementine has an optional dependency on libspotify, which is unfree.
Enabling libspotify unconditionally prevented Hydra from distributing
Clementine. Now, we optionally enable it based on
config.clementine.spotify.

1) Packages formerly called haskell-haskell-platform-ghcXYZ-VVVV.X.Y.Z are
now called haskell-platform-VVVV.X.Y.Z. The latest version can be
installed by running "nix-env -i haskell-platform".
2) The attributes haskellPackages_ghcXYZ.haskellPlatform no longer exist.
Instead, we have attributes like haskellPlatformPackages."2012_4_0_0".
(The last numeric bit must be quoted when used in a Nix file, but not on
the command line to nix-env, nix-build, etc.) The latest Platform has a
top-level alias called simply haskellPlatform.
3) The haskellPackages_ghcXYZ package sets offer the latest version of every
library that GHC x.y.z can compile. For example, if 2.7 is the latest
version of QuickCheck and if GHC 7.0.4 can compile that version, then
haskellPackages_ghc704.QuickCheck refers to version 2.7.
4) All intermediate GHC releases were dropped from all-packages.nix to
simplify our configuration. What remains is a haskellPackages_ghcXYZ set
for the latest version of every major release branch, i.e. GHC 6.10.4,
6.12.3, 7.0.4, 7.2.2, 7.4.2, 7.6.3, 7.8.2, and 7.9.x (HEAD snapshot).
5) The ghcXYZPrefs functions in haskell-defaults.nix now inherit overrides
from newer to older compilers, i.e. an override configured for GHC 7.0.4
will automatically apply to GHC 6.12.3 and 6.10.4, too. This change has
reduced the redundancy in those configuration functions. The downside is
that overriding an attribute for only one particular GHC version has become
more difficult. In practice, this case doesn't occur much, though.
6) The 'cabal' builder has a brand-new argument called 'extension'. That
function is "self : super : {}" by default and users can override it to
mess with the attribute set passed to cabal.mkDerivation. An example use
would be the definition of darcs in all-packages.nix:
| darcs = haskellPackages.darcs.override {
| cabal = haskellPackages.cabal.override {
| extension = self : super : {
| isLibrary = false;
| configureFlags = "-f-library " + super.configureFlags or "";
| };
| };
| };
In this case, extension disables building the library part of the package
to give us an executable-only version that has no dependencies on GHC or
any other Haskell packages.
The 'self' argument refers to the final version of the attribute set and
'super' refers to the original attribute set.
Note that ...
- Haskell Platform packages always provide the Haddock binary that came with
the compiler.
- Haskell Platform 2009.2.0.2 is broken because of build failures in cgi and
cabal-install.
- Haskell Platform 2010.1.0.0 is broken becasue of build failures in cgi.

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.

These packages come with R, but if we install them as part of this build, then
we cannot update them without re-building R as well. Instead, we add those
packages to the R environment through the r-wrapper. This means that
recommended packages can be updated in cran-packgaes.nix, and those updates
have an effect on the installation without re-building R itself.
This fixes the issue of Chromium not being able to load the pulseaudio
librarp
We could also propagate the build inputs, but it would end up being the
same as just directoly linking against the library.

This packaging splices off the unfree faac library and forces handbrake
to use the (more recent/patched) versions of libraries in Nixpkgs.
Produces the CLI HandbrakeCLI and optionally the GTK+ version ghb.
This also tweaks the version number to just use the SVN revision (rather
than date), since it's unambiguous and increasing anyway.

What this allows us to do is define a "dumpcap" setuid wrapper in NixOS
and have wireshark use that instead of the non-setuid dumpcap binary
that it normally uses.
As far as I can tell, the code that is changed to do lookup in PATH is
only used by wireshark/tshark to find dumpcap. dumpcap, the thing that's
typically setuid, is not affected by this patch. wireshark and tshark
should *not* be installed setuid, so the fact that they now do lookup in
PATH is not a security concern.
With this commit, and the following config, only "root" and users in the
"wireshark" group will have access to capturing network traffic with
wireshark/dumpcap:
environment.systemPackages = [ pkgs.wireshark ];
security.setuidOwners = [
{ program = "dumpcap";
owner = "root";
group = "wireshark";
setuid = true;
setgid = false;
permissions = "u+rx,g+x";
}
];
users.extraGroups.wireshark.gid = 500;
(This wouldn't have worked before, because then wireshark would not use
our setuid dumpcap binary.)
This makes running wireshark (or more specifically, dumpcap) as root a
bit more secure. From <wireshark-1.11.2>/doc/README.packaging:
The "--with-libcap" option is only useful when dumpcap is installed
setuid. If it is enabled dumpcap will try to drop any setuid privileges
it may have while retaining the CAP_NET_ADMIN and CAP_NET_RAW
capabilities. It is enabled by default, if the Linux capabilities
library (on which it depends) is found.
The real path of the schemas is:
$out/share/gsettings-schemas/gsettings-desktop-schemas-3.10.1/glib-2.0/schemas
While the previous approach was to load schemas from:
$out/share/glib-2.0/schemas
So, we're now relying on the setup hook of glib to find the right schema
path.

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

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

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.

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

So far we just copied everything from source.* into the build directory
during the prePatch. This somewhat defeated the purpose of the source
splitup because it involved more I/O than just unpacking the entire
source tree.
Now, we're selectively *symlinking* the bundled sources into the build
directory. Even that isn't perfect because in the end we'd just
reference foreign derivations and we're done. But for now, this gets us
at least prepared for a massive reduction of compile time.
Unfortunately, gyp's behaviour when it comes to symlinks is quite
painful to come by, so we need to fix a few references to use absolute
paths.
