Subject: Explanation

Hello,

So this patch fixes two things. First, it gives the webkit gtk process
access to va-api drivers, which allows hardware acceleration for video
and prevents the errors below:

0:00:00.489161195    21       0xfd4200 INFO               vadisplay gstvadisplay.c:268:_va_info:<vadisplaydrm2> VA info: Trying to open /home/abhishek/.guix-profile/lib/dri/i965_drv_video.so

Second, it gives access to the locale dir, which silences some warnings
of the sort below:

(process:2): Gtk-WARNING **: 02:21:08.731: Locale not supported by C library.
	Using the fallback 'C' locale.

Yours sincerely,
Abhishek Cherath.

Subject: Some more information

The reason the driver path stuff is particularly important is that I get
my env vars for LIBVA_DRIVERS_PATH from guix package --search paths as
follows

```bash
eval "$(guix package --search-paths \
-p $HOME/.config/guix/current \
-p $HOME/.guix-profile \
-p $HOME/.guix-extra-profiles/emacs/emacs \
-p $HOME/.guix-home/profile \
-p /run/current-system/profile)"
```

and this gives the following for LIBVA_DRIVERS_PATH:
```bash
export LIBVA_DRIVERS_PATH="/run/current-system/profile/lib/dri:/home/abhishek/.guix-profile/lib/dri"
```

This means that any sandboxed program with access to one of those won't
be able to use hardware acceleration. I only figured this out when I got
curious about why mpv could use hardware accel just fine but nyxt
couldn't. It's also a problem for firefox. Guess I should put in a bug
report there?

This looks reasonable to me, thanks for your contribution!  I suppose
for security reasons the file names must be static, e.g. cannot be
$HOME/.guix-profile/share/locale or similar?

LGTM; Liliana, I remember you would prefer not having webkitgtk changes
happen on master; do you have a suggestion of which branch this should
be committed to?  gnome-team?

Thanks,
Maxim

It was a conservative choice, but not made for security reasons, I'm just not sure where and how this wrapper runs, and I was mildly tired of recompiling webkitgtk.

I'm not opposed to having it be $HOME, if that works; I don't see what security issues there could be.

I think dynamic choices should be possible – IIRC, std::strings are
used for arguments, but even if not, we're dealing with C++, so we can
allocate "on the stack".

We can do this on gnome-team, we still have some leftover world
rebuilds from 44.10.  I'd prefer if stuff that rebuilds webkitgtk on
master were grafted, as it causes more than the prescribed 300 rebuilds
and is a nasty build itself.

Cheers

👍. I can make that change tomorrow. One QoL thing. How do you run a program built in /tmp/<<build_folder>> without it complaining about store paths and suchlike?

I ask because ideally, I'd debug this by interrupting the webkit build somewhere while I have --keep-failed, then `guix shell -D webkitgtk --pure && . environment-variables`, then running the minibrowser. But that doesn't work because it complains about stuff not being in the store.

Oh, but I suppose I could use LD_LIBRARY_PATH unless it compiles in some strings.  Will try.

>rebuilds from 44.10.  I'd prefer if stuff that rebuilds webkitgtk on

👍, so call this webkitgtk-bubblewrap-fixed and have a replacement field in the other package?

You should be able to run things from the build folder, but you could
also throw a post-install error if needed.  Just note that webkitgtk in
and of itself doesn't really come with a full browser, so you'd have to
compile one as well…

I think with webkit in particular the problem is that store paths are
getting hard-coded in places where file existence is required, so you
might want to replace those store paths with /tmp/guix-build/…

Ahh, sorry, grafts are for security purposes – changes like these would
have to go through the usual channels (i.e. gnome-team).  We will be
jumping ahead to 46 at some point in the future, but for now the branch
is chill and we still need to catch up on stuff we missed for master.

Cheers

I don't mean to hold up this patch, however, this reminded me to check and 
It looks like we'll be do for a rebuild anyway for the new major version: 
https://webkitgtk.org/2024/03/27/webkigit-2.44.html

Yeah, we're in great luck that we are chill on gnome-team atm.  We can
do these big juicy webkit builds there, then do a mini-merge before we
start real work™ again.

Cheers

So I've no problem with adding the home profile paths and resubmitting to gnome-team, but I'll likely only be able to do that this weekend.

If anyone else wants to make the changes or merge this one as is for now, I have no problem.
