This release in a RC for gnupg-2.2. The main difference as far as
nixpkgs is concerned is that the binary `gpg2` is now called `gpg` and
`gpgv2` is called `gpgv`.
This update fixed all explicit use of `gpg2` and `gpgv2` across nixpkgs,
but there might be some packaged software that internally use `gpg2`
not handeled by this commit.

* pkgs: refactor needless quoting of homepage meta attribute
A lot of packages are needlessly quoting the homepage meta attribute
(about 1400, 22%), this commit refactors all of those instances.
* pkgs: Fixing some links that were wrongfully unquoted in the previous
commit
* Fixed some instances
When trying to open or save a file using the file chooser GUI, Vivaldi
would crash with the message
GLib-GIO-ERROR **: Settings schema 'org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser' is
not installed
This commit adds the GTK directory to XDG_DATA_DIRS which fixes the
crash.
The `extraPrefs` parameter is injected verbatim into the mozilla.cfg
file.
Note that the syntax is a superset of the usual prefs.js syntax. The
following procedures are of particular interest:
pref() to set a preference as if it had been toggled in about:config
defaultPref() to set the *default* value of a preference
lockPref() to set a preference & prevent further modification
clearPref() to reset a preference to its default state
Example:
```nix
tor-browser-bundle-bin.override {
extraPrefs = ''
// Increase default security level
pref("extensions.torbutton.security_slider", 2);
'';
}
```
The following errors occur when you start Chromium prior to this commit:
[2534:2534:0625/202928.673160:ERROR:gl_implementation.cc(246)] Failed to
load .../libexec/chromium/swiftshader/libGLESv2.so:
../libexec/chromium/swiftshader/libGLESv2.so: cannot open shared object
file: No such file or directory
[2534:2534:0625/202928.674434:ERROR:gpu_child_thread.cc(174)] Exiting
GPU process due to errors during initialization
While in theory we do not strictly need libGLESv2.so, in practice this
means that the GPU process isn't starting up at all which in turn leads
to crawling rendering performance on some sites.
So let's install all shared libraries in swiftshader.
I've tested this with the chromium.stable NixOS VM test and also locally
on my machine and the errors as well as the performance issues are gone.

Due to licensing costs, Vivaldi bundles a version of ffmpeg compiled
without support for the common H.264 codec. However, it is possible to
supply a custom libffmpeg.so with additional codecs. This derivation
uses the Chromium source to compile a compatible libffmpeg.so.
This approach is recommended by a Vivaldi developer, see
https://gist.github.com/ruario/bec42d156d30affef655
- Update to version 1.10.867.38-1
- Drop i386 arch. Vivaldi has suspended support for Linux 32-bit for
Vivaldi 1.10. Unfortunately, this is due to Chromium suspending support
for it and maintaining it themselves would take too much resources.
See https://forum.vivaldi.net/post/142489.
- Update dependency on gtk2 to gtk3.
- Move dependency patchelf from buildInputs to nativeBuildInputs.
This should allow us to easily add system-wide Chromium extensions via a
NixOS configuration similar to this:
{ pkgs, ... }: {
environment.pathsToLink = [ "/share/chromium/extensions" ];
environment.systemPackages = [ pkgs.my-shiny-extension ];
}
For more details about what Chromium expects within that directory, see:
https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/external_extensions
I've introduced this because of a personal desire to gain more control
about which extensions are installed and what they are able to do. All
of the extensions I use are free software, but despite that it's useful
to either easily patch them and also prevent unwanted automatic updates.
Tested this using the NixOS "chromium.stable" test on x86_64-linux.

Also updates beta, nightly, nightlyBin, and bootstrap compilers.
Also updates the registry.
Also consolidates logic between bootstrap and nightlyBin compilers.
Also contains some miscellaneous cleanups.
Also patches firefox to build with the newer cargo
* firefox-beta-bin: 51.0b8 -> 54.0b13
* firefox-devedition-bin: init at 54.0b14
Firefox DevEdition became a new product of Mozilla and is "repackaged"
Firefox Beta with its own release channel and six weeks release cycle as
other channels. It is no longer being built on nightly basis
* updated the update.nix script to facilitata firefox-devedition-bin
* disabling automatic updates by pointing to non existing channel
* f firefoxWrapper looks for gtk3 attribute to wrap the executable gtk3 to wrap the binary with needed ``XDG_DATA_DIRS``
* lynx: Fix SSL support by letting it use pkgconfig
lynx wants both the "include" and "lib/lib*.so" paths
to be children of the path given to "--with-ssl",
which is not provided by any of the current openssl outputs.
To fix lynx so it supports SSL (and https URLs),
let it use pkgconfig to figure out where openssl's bits are.
* lynx: Always enable widec support.
somehow, the build seems to have changed with chromium 58, to not auto
download the node binary. It is needed to generate webui files and we
can substitute our own.
