[PATCH 2/2] gnu: Add nyx.

[Tobias Geerinckx-Rice]

* gnu/packages/tor.scm (nyx): New variable.
---

Guix,

This adds Nyx (no relation), a handy status monitor for Tor relays.

A 2.0 release has been just around the corner for... more than half a
year now, but the last 1.x version is from 2012. It also had an entirely
different name (‘Arm’) and I'd rather not deal with the confusion.

This one has been nothing but stable for me, so I'd thought I'd share it.

If we instead decide to wait another year for a ‘real’ release, so be it.

Kind regards,

T G-R

+This makes Nyx well-suited for remote shell connections and servers without a
+graphical display.  It's like @command{top} for Tor, providing detailed
+statistics and status reports on:
+
address@hidden
address@hidden connections (with IP address, hostname, fingerprint, and 
consensus data),
address@hidden bandwidth, processor, and memory usage,
address@hidden the relay's current configuration,
address@hidden logged events,
address@hidden and much more.
