and worked without troubles, but version 52 builds and the VM tests are
successful as well:

Closes: #15446
Signed-off-by: aszlig <aszlig@redmoonstudios.org>
Regression introduced by f28b71023c.
Let's now expose and use the upstream-info attribute via the main
Chromium derivation, so that other packages like the google-chrome
package doesn't need to rely on internals of the Chromium
implementation.

This effectively resets the attributes given at the point the main
<nixpkgs> is imported and thus for example is also reading in stuff like
~/.nixpkgs/config.nix again, which might lead to unexpected results.
We now only import <nixpkgs> now if the updater is auto-called (like in
update.sh), otherwise the required attributes are passed by callPackage
within the Chromium scope.
I remember noting about this a while ago either on IRC or on GitHub, but
I can't find it right now, so thanks to @obadz for reminding me about
this in #15225.
Tested this by running the updater and also using:
NIXPKGS_CONFIG=$(pwd)/broken.nix nix-instantiate --arg config {} -A chromium
The contents of broken.nix were:

Fixes: #15225
It's not the job of Nixpkgs to distribute beta versions of upstream
packages. More importantly, building these delays channel updates by
several hours, which is bad for our security fix turnaround time.
Fixes #14695
I'm not entirely sure if including `stdenv.cc.cc` in `makeLibraryPath`
is the correct thing to do here. If it's incorrect, please feel free to
ping me.
