This also tweaks the version number to just use the SVN revision (rather
than date), since it's unambiguous and increasing anyway.

This should fix the desktop icon location for both desktop entries (the
one from the Chromium derivation itself and the wrapper) and renames the
name of the file so that it gets overridden by the wrappers desktop item
so we don't end up having two of them.

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.

If dmenu isn't installed in the user environment, dmenu_run will fail
because it searches $PATH for its own binaries.

Youtube feeds now don't append a "sig" query string argument anymore, so
all those feeds would fail without this patch. For the latter, a pull
request already exists on upstream at pculture/miro#428, so I guess we
can drop our patch upon release of the next new upstream bugfix release.

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.

Yes, it's just a comment and yes, it's so insignificant that everyone
would make a "O_o" face. But I'm getting annoyed by things like this.
Obviously that means no feature changes :-)

This is to ensure that nothing unexpected will be after the merge of the
refactoring branch, and also my own autoupdate machinery is expecting
this location, so there really is no reason to change it now.

beta: 34.0.1847.60 -> 35.0.1916.47 (builds fine, tested)
dev: 35.0.1883.0 -> 36.0.1941.0 (builds fine, tested)
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
version of Chromium and thus it doesn't really make sense to use v8 from
<nixpkgs>, as we would need to have 3 different versions of v8, one for
each Chromium channel.

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.
