Candidate

Upstream canonical URL: https://github.com/codingismy11to7/brow6el
Source pinned commit/release when known: release v0.3.4 1a04137d632241926c83ec0d43b83227ee703c9b; current default-branch HEAD a3c3c6b8919f4732f384d8474169ad491130cbcc (checked 2026-08-14)
Target concrete installed deliverable: the Brow6el CEF/libsixel terminal browser
Primary category: browser
Tags: browser-engine, terminal-ui
Primary language normalized: C++
Build system: cmake-build-system / CEF
SPDX expression: NOASSERTION
License status: no-permission
License evidence: No LICENSE, COPYING, or NOTICE is present in the current upstream tree at this pinned commit; GitHub reports no detected license.
Difficulty: blocked — The current tree lacks a license and the proven build disables the CEF sandbox by default.
Workflow state: blocked
Existing Guix coverage: Checked 2026-08-14: GNU Guix, Nonguix, Guix Science, Guix HPC, Guix Past, Guix 'R Us, and RDE; no equivalent package with the same upstream origin was found.

Scope and blockers

Do not publish until an explicit license grant and a Guix-compatible browser sandbox are both in place.

Preserved evidence: v0.3.4 at 1a04137d632241926c83ec0d43b83227ee703c9b built offline with CEF resources, but upstream hard-codes no_sandbox = true and uses --no-sandbox, --no-zygote, and --disable-site-isolation-trials.

Acceptance checks

guix lint -L . brow6el
guix build -L . brow6el
after unblocking, run an offline local-page test that proves the renderer sandbox is enabled.
