Currently there's a problem with gclient, as it tries to fetch the source

Possibly creating a git repo out of the source and fetching from there could work, or disabling pulling

Got the cloning to work, problem is there's a list of deps in ${src}/DEPS that it tries to pull in

Should be possible to take those deps and also create fake git repos

Working on pre-fetching those deps and then placing them into the right dir in configure

I postponed that until I actually get past configure phase

Yeah, that should be the most difficult problem to solve.

That would be very nice if that works out.

If it turns out to be too difficult and if gclient fetches the dependencies in a deterministic way (AFAIK all dependencies are either specified via a Git revision (but git-clone isn't deterministic IIRC) or e.g. a hash of the binary to fetch) then you could also write an intermediate fixed-output derivation that takes the libwebrtc source and then runs gclient to fetch the sources.

Edit: Oh and huge thanks for looking into this btw :)

Currently git fetching is done by nix-prefetch-git, but some of the packages have cipd packages as sources specified, I'm not sure how that should be handled

So far I've found that packages require a platform variable, like linux-amd64, which if replaced leads to a package https://chrome-infra-packages.appspot.com/p/infra/tools/luci/isolate/linux-amd64/+/

Then choosing the latest version and downloading that https://chrome-infra-packages.appspot.com/p/infra/tools/luci/isolate/linux-amd64/+/ScErc0J9LrGAd_W-B-h0JC5BGACx-AQrJl4NVezfSAUC gives a zip file

In that particular case I got a binary, I'd either need to patchelf it or create a FHS, right?

This is getting complicated...

Yeah, running the autoPatchelf command manually might be the best/easiest approach (see autoPatchelfHook in https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/stable/#ssec-setup-hooks). There might be an even better approach but I never really looked into those things (/ luckily never needed them much).

Yeah, unfortunately this'll be a huge PITA to get packaged with Nix :o

Please fix the pipeline.

I currently don't have the time to push this forward. PR can be taken over if someone else is willing to finish it
