Hi Guix,

I added "torbrowser" to my icecat.scm

;; Icecat Manifest
(specifications->manifest '("icecat" "ungoogled-chromium" "torbrowser"))


in my icecat profile


and updated my profile

but it didn't download and install torbrowser.



May be there is still a problem.

Any hint available?


If I look up torbrowser in Guix packages
and klick on the torbrowser

it said

Couldn't find any package named torbrowser 115.6.0esr-13.0-1-build2. But 
you can do the following:

Ask around if there's anyone working on packaging it (see Guix 
communication channels).
Take this opportunity to learn how to package things for Guix (see how 
to submit packages to Guix).

Kind regards

Gottfried

Hi, which guix are you using? (the sha?  What is the output of "guix
--version"?)

Re: torbrowser

[Gottfried]

 Hi Guix,

I am using 

guix bc509aba838780502b83f7fc3d2aee72903656f2

This is weird, can you show the commands you typed?

This should be fixed now:
https://packages.guix.gnu.org/packages/torbrowser/13.0.8/, the web
interface was probably just taking time refreshing.

I did it this way:

gfp@Tuxedo ~$ guix package --upgrade 
--profile=/home/gfp/Projekte/Icecat/guix-profil


I tried again today, but it updated only "icecat, ungoogled-chromium.
Tor-browser was not installed.

I checked the name "torbrowser" again, but this seemed to be not the 
problem.

Can you try this:

?

I have just running "guix confic.scm..."

I thought ‘icecat.scm’ was your manifest file.

Can you run “guix package -m <your manifest file>”

<your manifest file> is the file that contains

    (specifications->manifest '("icecat" "ungoogled-chromium" "torbrowser"))

The file is :

icecat.scm

it is located unter:

gfp/Projekte/Icecat/


May be I don't understand something.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Re: torbrowser

No problem

Maybe you are not in the good place

can you show the output of:

    pwd

?

Also, where is "gfp" located?

Hi Clement,

now after updating my manifest it worked:
It downloaded torbrowser additional to icecat and ungoogled-chromium


gfp@Tuxedo ~$ guix package -p /home/gfp/Projekte/Icecat/guix-profil -m 
/home/gfp/Projekte/Icecat/icecat.scm
Die folgenden Pakete werden installiert:
    icecat             115.7.0-guix0-preview1
    torbrowser         13.0.9
    ungoogled-chromium 112.0.5615.165-1

I am happy
thanks for your help

Kind regards

Gottfried

torbrowser

[Gottfried]

[-- Attachment #1.1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 769 bytes --]

Hi Guix,

I saw that you offer "torbrowser" as a own package.

Does that mean there is a new browser, and it is the torbrowser.

What is then the difference between icecat working over the torbrowser 
and the torbrowser itself?

Is it so that in icecat I can install several add-ons, but in torbrowser 
no ones or only some? Is that the main difference.

Sorry, for asking basic questions.
I prefer to ask instead of guessing.


Kind regards

Yes, it is a new browser, the Tor Browser.

I guess you meant "icecat working over tor".

The difference is that a site can identify you based on your browser
settings easily if your browser is Icecat, whereas it's much harder if
it's Tor Browser.  You can check https://coveryourtracks.eff.org to see
if browser settings make you unique.

(Also Tor Browser makes it easy to start the Tor network.)

You can install add-ons on both browser, although it's discouraged to do
so with Tor Browser because add-ons can increase your footprint and thus
reduce your online anonymity.

No problem, feel free to ask anything.
