It depends only on the contents. This allows us to use a list of different URIs (see the lsof package for an example) or try many different mirror://s as long as they serve the right file.

Should I change the hash in virtualization.scm?

In general: yes, but not without prior investigation.

The server might be serving a temporary error page instead of a usable tarball (SF.net is currently notorious for doing so), or the tarball might have been updated in-place (and you'll have to manually diff the contents to make sure it's legitimate), or it might just be a problem with your network, or...

Pushing a hash update without explanation in the commit message will result in lots of spam from people like me. Avoid that.

Kind regards,
