This is not a problem when using the substituter, because hydra.gnu.org mirrors it: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- $ ./pre-inst-env guix build -S zlib The following file will be downloaded: /nix/store/5b910ka58b3h4x7n3vbdgndf6zfxnpwf-zlib-1.2.7.tar.gz @ substituter-started /nix/store/5b910ka58b3h4x7n3vbdgndf6zfxnpwf-zlib-1.2.7.tar.gz /home/ludo/src/guix/nix/scripts/substitute-binary downloading `/nix/store/5b910ka58b3h4x7n3vbdgndf6zfxnpwf-zlib-1.2.7.tar.gz' from `http://hydra.gnu.org/nar/5b910ka58b3h4x7n3vbdgndf6zfxnpwf-zlib-1.2.7.tar.gz'... @ substituter-succeeded /nix/store/5b910ka58b3h4x7n3vbdgndf6zfxnpwf-zlib-1.2.7.tar.gz /nix/store/5b910ka58b3h4x7n3vbdgndf6zfxnpwf-zlib-1.2.7.tar.gz --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Did you use --no-substitutes? > This is a blocking bug for anyone who would like to try Guix from the > git repository, so I'd like to have this fixed in master. WDYT ? It can still be found at mirror://sourceforge/libpng/zlib-1.2.7.tar.gz. So for the moment I would suggest changing the ‘uri’ field to a list: (origin (method url-fetch) (uri (list (string-append "http://zlib.net/zlib-"; version ".tar.gz") (string-append "mirror://sourceforge/libpng/zlib-" version ".tar.gz"))) (sha256 (base32 "1i96gsdvxqb6skp9a58bacf1wxamwi9m9pg4yn7cpf7g7239r77s"))) Problem solved. :-) And the upgrade can be scheduled for later, in a ‘core-updates’ branch. WDYT? Ludo’.
