This enables legacy seccomp sandbox by default even on chromium 22, because the
BPF sandbox is still work in progress, please see:
http://crbug.com/139872http://crbug.com/130662
Because the BPF seccomp sandbox is used in case the legacy seccomp mode
initialization fails, we might need to patch this again, as soon as the BPF
sandbox is fully implemented to fall back to legacy seccomp and use BPF by
default.
We now have two patches for "default to seccomp" - one for Chromium 21 and one
for 22 or higher.
The patch doesn't apply in version 22 and newer, because mode 1 sandboxes are
connsidered "legacy" (well, apart from the fact that I'd personally prefer BPF
anyway), for reasons I wasn't able to find, yet. But let's proceed on BPF
integration and thus gain more insight on the exact reasons.
If you look at what changed, you'll surely notice that version 22 is now in
beta, so we have to expect things to break. And one thing that will break for
sure is the seccomp patch, because beginning with 22 the new BPF seccomp sandbox
is going to replace the mode 1 seccomp sandbox.
This commit doesn't add any feature and just fixes a small annoyance which
result in messages like this:
Checking if xxx applies...no.
See that there is no whitespace between "..." and "no"? Well, the world cares
for more important things, but for me personally those minor annoyances can turn
into major annoyances.
chromium: Improve update script and update to latest versions.
Previously, we had a single hash of the whole version response from
omahaproxy.
Unfortunately the dev version is released quite frequently, so the hash
is of no use at all (we could rather directly fetch rather than
executing the script, because it will fetch all channels anyway).
This pull request adds two methods of caching:
* First of all, if a perticular version/channel is already in the
previous version of the sources.nix file, don't download it again.
* And the second method is to check if the current sha256 is already
downloaded and reads the corresponding sha256 from the lookup table.
So, this should really help to avoid flooding the download servers and
to not stress impatient users too much.
So, now even Firefox can be built with our shiny new fixed up NSS derivation,
and as this is desired (especially if we want to support certificates from the
CA bundle), let's make it the default.
Hurray! This is the first time chromium is working with NSS _and_ is able to
verify certificates using the root certificates built in into NSS.
Optimally it would use certs from OPENSSL_X509_CERT_FILE, but at least it's
working, so let's add that at some later point.
Until this commit we had a single hash of the whole version response from
omahaproxy. This worked well for not updating unnecessarily but only until one
single channel has a new version available.
Unfortunately the dev version is released quite frequently, so the hash is of no
use at all (we could rather directly fetch everything everytime we execute the
script).
This led to this commit, which adds two methods of caching:
First of all, if a perticular version/channel is already in the previous version
of the sources.nix file, don't download it again.
And the second method is to check if the current sha256 is already downloaded
and reads the corresponding sha256 from the lookup table.
So, this should really help to avoid flooding the download servers and to not
stress impatient users too much.
The reason is because unpacking debian packages requires fewer dependencies (ar,
gzip and tar, nothing more), and in addition we can explicitly reference a
version number from the apt repository.
This caused HTML5 video to not work because this shared library is loaded at
runtime.
Unfortunately we can't use system ffmpeg yet, because upgrading would break
builds of other packages, and it would result in a copy of ffmpeg laying around
aswell, so we can defer this until we have fixed ffmpeg.
Thanks to @bluescreen303 for the bug report.
The configure script picks up libbsd.so from the host machine.
It uses simple find command to locate the file, but the linker
can not use it.
The fix replace the search path to /no-such-path
I switch off the build of ocaml compilers to native code, and add
a 'passthru' that unison can use to see if it needs to call the native
or the bytecode compiler.
