[-- Attachment #1.1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 731 bytes --]

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 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

Gottfried

I'm currently occupying the time where I don't study various things and
debug gnunet-service with packaging torbrowser.

So Gentoo (inofficially, 'torbrowser-overlay'[1]) uses the pre-build
archives found on dist.torproject.org in combination with a git checkout
and the torbrowser + firefox patches done by Gentoo devs[1.1].

NixOS in Nixpkgs[2] makes use of patchelf to just fix up the prebuild
variant found on dist.torproject.org.


I suspect that the way Nix 'fixes' this is a no-go for us.

My idea is now to just reconstruct what torproject does, from the git
checkout of torbrowser[3] and eventually later fix Guix specific issues
and fine tuning (freedom issues etc etc). 


Cloning takes a rather long time, this is where Andy's shallow-clone
would be useful, which is where I ran into issue and delayed re-working
this for now. If someone is interested I can post the patch which
applied on master recently.



1: An overlay can be compared to what we have as 'GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH',
   distributed in official and inofficial forms.
1.1: The raw data of the ebuild can be seen here, excluding eclasses:
