This brings in the new stable version 54 which also introduces a lot of security fixes: CVE-2016-5198: Out of bounds memory access in V8 CVE-2016-5181: Universal XSS in Blink CVE-2016-5182: Heap overflow in Blink CVE-2016-5183: Use after free in PDFium CVE-2016-5184: Use after free in PDFium CVE-2016-5185: Use after free in Blink CVE-2016-5187: URL spoofing CVE-2016-5188: UI spoofing CVE-2016-5192: Cross-origin bypass in Blink CVE-2016-5189: URL spoofing CVE-2016-5186: Out of bounds read in DevTools CVE-2016-5191: Universal XSS in Bookmarks CVE-2016-5190: Use after free in Internals CVE-2016-5193: Scheme bypass Detailed announcements about these changes can be found here (latest to oldest): https://googlechromereleases.blogspot.de/2016/11/stable-channel-update-for-desktop.html https://googlechromereleases.blogspot.de/2016/10/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_20.html https://googlechromereleases.blogspot.de/2016/10/stable-channel-update-for-desktop.html The update process of Chromium has been a bit bumpy on our side, because version 54 also did the switch from GYP to GN so it wasn't just a matter of updating the upstream-info file. I've tested the Flash plugin (which runs fine) and WideVine manually, although I couldn't get WideVine to work (I was running this within a VM though). So if people want to use WideVine they need to use Chrome instead until we got this sorted out. VM test results along with builds for all platforms can be found here: https://headcounter.org/hydra/eval/339328 I'm going to backport these changes to stable as soon as the tests/builds succeed there as well. Closes: #19565 Closes: #20120
Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the Nix package manager. It is periodically built and tested by the hydra build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add nixpkgs-channels as a remote:
% git remote add channels git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git
For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain
custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. nixos-16.09 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-16.09
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
