This is to make it more consistent with the naming of the package file and also
consistent with the build, as we're not using the Google branded version.
In addition the derivation attribute set now has a packageName value which can
be used to easily switch the binary names and paths, just in case we want to
switch to using "chrome" (or something entirely different) again.
There are still some libraries left, which we either need to patch or provide
more recent versions. Plus we're going to use openssl, as libnss doesn't want to
do proper SSL (let's debug this later).
If useSELinux is not set, enable seccomp mode by default and avoid building the
SUID helper sandbox at all. This involves a small patch which causes the
commandline arguments to be swapped: --disable-seccomp-sandbox to disable it,
while the option is active by default.
It fetches the latest version based on the bucketlist XML from
commondatastorage and generates a "source.nix" which contains an attribute set
about where to fetch the latest version.
The XML is parsed in a somewhat hackish way using sed, but as this is just an
updater, its okay and we don't want to break a fly on the wheel by employing a
full XML parser.
This only gets chromium to build so far, installation is missing by upstream, so
we need to manually copy the corresponding files. And I guess with nix, we also
need to patch a few paths on installation.
Another issue is that at the moment, a lot of dependencies are used from the
source tree, rather than from the system.
Also, it would be nice to build using LLVM, as it really speeds up compilation a
*LOT* and also has the side effect of resulting in smaller binaries.
Working unit tests would be nice, too. Unfortunately they're quite heavyweight
and take hours to run, so I guess "someday" would be the most appropriate time
to integrate.
Further todo's:
- Allow to disable GConf, GIO and CUPS.
- Option to disable the sandbox (for whatever reason the user might have).
- Integrate gold binutils.
- Pulseaudio support.
- Clearly separate Linux specific stuff.

Need to investigate where malloc_message is defined.

I took mainly the patch from Alexandr Foremny, but I had to solve conflicts.
Moreover it required the old webkit.

Some of these packages need glib-2.30.x, so I commit it to this branch.
Add sofia-sip and telepathy-rakia.

This merge leads to a big rebuild, but this wouldn't hurt as I'm going to
reintegrate this branch soon.
