This is not needed to run XPRA, but gets rid of a few nasty errors.
XPRA is using the notify library to display nice desktop notifications, so there
might be users who actually like to have those funny things.
Cython is not required in order to run XPRA, so we now explicitly specify what
should be put into PYTHONPATH instead of using the PYTHONPATH which is set
during build time.
That way we don't get unnecessary stuff in /nix/store, like the mentioned
cython compiler/interpreter.
This is because the original version is no longer in development, as stated on
the website at http://code.google.com/p/partiwm/wiki/xpra:
"This project is in deep hibernation; I haven't had time to devote for several
years now. If you are looking for xpra, you may prefer Antoine Martin's fork,
which receives more support. It is available at: http://xpra.org/"
So I guess its safe to switch over to that fork.
LV2 is a portable plugin standard for audio systems, similar in scope to LADSPA, VST, AU, and others. The Calf audio plugin pack uses LV2 and Ardour3 has also been updated to support LV2 Plugins
most npm's that want to build binary stuff (bindings) look for the v8 headers at NODE_BINARY_PATH/../include
Ideally, we get something like npm2nix someday and fix these build scripts.
Until then, this little hack does the trick.
As already promised, the old single-channel source.nix is now obsolete as we're
using Omahaproxy now and the build of the stable version finishes successful and
the browser runs fine.
The previos update script just used the last version of chromium that showed up
at the bucket list at:
http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-official/
I'm not sure which channel this list actually holds, so I'm going to switch now
using the official release channels grabbed by omahaproxy. This also has the
advantage that we can provide different versions/flavors of chromium.
We now also write our data to sources.nix instead of source.nix, as we have more
than one source.
