Looks like version bump should go something like in the file attached,
but I do not have the knowledge yet on how to get hashes automatically
and build it.
Version gets bumped up to 1.24.0

bug#35728: Tor & IceCat's TorButton shows it's connected but doesn't route the traffic
Hey Guix! There seems to be a problem with Tor and TorButton in GNU IceCat's package. Torsocks works for other apps, TorButton shows notification that it's connected to the Tor server but when I go to check.torproject.org I'm not routed through tor. This problem doesn't appear in Archlinux or GNU/Debian so it seems that bug is Guix related. -- sirmacik PGP: 0xE0DC81D523891771
bug#35716: Password security bugs in LUKS configuration during guided install
Hey Guix I've asked on IRC if those bugs were known but apparently no, so here they are: - during guided installation with LUKS encryption one is not able to enter password longer then length of field; - in the same field password is shown during typing (lets one see bug above, characters typed after reaching length of field are simply not recorded); Field with conformation hides typed letters. Due to bug #1 I wasn't able to check if it works properly. -- sirmacik PGP: 0xE0DC81D523891771
