* 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.
