I've successfully tested chromium on aarch64

chromiumBeta is also fine on aarch64. chromiumDev builds but I have yet to make it start. I don't think it's necessary to fix chromiumDev before merging, so LGTM.

@thefloweringash what do you mean by "I have yet to make it start"?

It built, but fails to start? You didn't try starting it so far?

How's the situation currently on master?

It builds, it prints an error on startup relating to having no crashpad_handler, and then it hangs. I also just realized I made a critical typo in the above (now edited): chromiumDev is the affected version.

How's the situation currently on master?

It's apparently uncached. I've started a build but they take a few hours each. I'll report back when I have tested.

How's the situation currently on master?

chromium and chromiumBeta both refer to version 79. chromiumDev refers to version 80. Testing on aarch64: all of them work (briefly tested by loading a few pages).

I don't think we should delay the upgrade to chromium for the sole case of aarch64+chromiumDev.

Just to eliminate ambiguity, what are the 5 other things that need testing here?

From reading this thread, I think the status of this PR is:

platform attribute status tester
x86_64 chromium @ivan
x86_64 chromiumBeta ? ?
x86_64 chromiumDev ? ?

Oh, the six things I was thinking of were

chromium
chromiumBeta
chromiumDev
google-chrome
google-chrome-beta
google-chrome-dev

but I guess we have 9 things with the inclusion of the aarch64 chromium builds.

Please take over this PR (i.e. make a new one) if changes are needed, I removed myself from maintainers.

One thing I have sometimes done is hold back a chromiumDev upgrade by removing the version bump for just that channel in upstream-info.nix, but I do not know if that is appropriate here.

Atm I don't have the resources to test this, but since it's already tested twice I'm +1 for merging this ASAP (and the diff obviously looks fine as well).

@ivan just to be sure: That means you won't maintain Chromium anymore (which is of course totally fine) and we need a new maintainer (which is the important part)?

In any case: Thank you for maintaining Chromium up util now ❤️.
I often saw your PRs and appreciate your work - thank you :)

@primeos right, I do not plan to make chromium PRs, as I removed my desktop Linuxes for now. Yes, I believe chromium could use another maintainer/tester on x86_64.

If you would like to track upstream's releases, I recommend following the feed on https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/ and filtering for "Stable Channel Update for Desktop". Typically, within a few hours of an upstream release being available, a source tarball is also available and pkgs/applications/networking/browsers/chromium/update.sh can be used to update upstream-info.nix. Note that when upstream does not have a tarball yet, update.sh may silently fail to update a hash in upstream-info.nix, making it look like the version was updated while retaining the old hash.

In upcoming releases, I expect WebGL to break again because of a libGLESv2.so loading issue that this patch is working around, watch out for that.

Gave Google Chrome a quick test in a VM and updated #77299 (comment).

LGTM, IMO google-chrome-dev and chromiumDev shall not delay these updates so I'm going to merge this PR.
If this bugs anyone: Please complain, additional testers for future updates are welcome ;) :P

@ivan: Thank you very much for your response and additional details ❤️.
