This references thread "fonts.scm -> packaging "un-fonts", download isses" on guix-devel and it classifies as a bug. It's a bug upstream, replicated by archive.org and preventing me from finishing my work.
Long story short, I try to package un-fonts, which sits on a server which is configured in a way that it gives us a mime type for the package which is invalid (.gz). Now somebody could make guix download function to simply ignore that, but as I don't like to do that with only this one known case at hand, my ideas are: - download the file to sdf.org where it will sit until something happens to the entire internet and sdf.org disappears (they have been around since 84/87). - upload the individual file to archive.org as the simple waybackmachine is not smart enough to fix the mime issue of the original server. This is a bug, because it prevents me from using guix download, and guix download from functioning in a way where it must be altered to adopt to the incompetence of some domain/server admin. what do you think? -- ng irc://loupsycedyglgamf.onion:67/~NiAsterisk https://psyced.org:34443/NiAsterisk/ EDN: https://wiki.c3d2.de/Echt_Dezentrales_Netz/en
