Fixes https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/20840
Some notes for future reference:
- Firefox only supports legacy gstreamer (0.10)
- gmp and ffmpeg are appearantly used by gst-ffmpeg so must be in the
library search path
- Setting GST_DEBUG="*:3" or so was useful in figuring out what to add
- Remove redundant preConfigure
torsocks installs into $libdir/torsocks, so setting libdir=$out/lib
doesn't really help. To put the shared objects into $out/lib we'd have
to manually move them into $out and patch various files (the script
itself expects $libdir/torsocks).
- Use nativeBuildInputs
Per upstream, this contains primarily stability & performance fixes.
Notably, the relase fixes a bug that would sometimes make clients
unusable after leaving standby mode, as well as plugging a memory leak.
Also:
- Turn patchPhase into postPatch
- Add systemd and libcap on linux (and also pkgconfig for detection);
we should be able to change the service unit to Type=notify
- Disable checks for now, the test-suite is failing in sandbox due to
lack of network
This patch fixes an issue introduced by b897f825942b63ab790cad9ed66c8a79cbb3fc2d
where the bundled tor fails to run.
The error message claims that it cannot communicate with tor, but what actually
happens is that tor never runs at all, because it is invoked with a non-existent
rc file. Specifying an absolute path to the torrc-defaults file fixes the
problem. For good measure, we specify an absolute path to the tor executable
itself as well; we want as little autodetection logic as possible.
Note that users of torbrowser *must* remove the existing `~/.torbrowser4` folder
for this to take effect, otherwise torbrowser will continue to use extension
data from the previous release (this is why some existing users were able to
successfully use the new torbrowser version, see
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/15854).
- Fix install of man page
- Remove redundant for loop
- Access python interpreter via pythonPackages
- Remove redundant build inputs (captured via replacement anyway)
- Fix install location of sample rc file. For whatever reason, the
install script ends up thinking it needs to use tor-arm, so override
it
- Clarify meta.description
This brings the wrapper closer to the upstream wrapper.
Briefly,
- exec to prevent the shell from hanging around
- do not connect to session manager
- set WM_CLASS to "Tor Browser"
- use fonts.conf from the torbrowser bundle
The most complex problems were from dealing with switches reverted in
the meantime (gcc5, gmp6, ncurses6).
It's likely that darwin is (still) broken nontrivially.
This seems to have been confusing people, using both xlibs and xorg, etc.
- Avoided renaming local (and different) xlibs binding in gcc*.
- Fixed cases where both xorg and xlibs were used.
Hopefully everything still works as before.
This may seem strange, but tor distributes its 'torify' wrapper which in
turn attempts to use torsocks to bridge a connection, meaning 'tor'
users out the box may want it to work.

(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.
