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.
