Hi, On different machines (laptop, desktop, workstation) using different networks, running different revisions of Guix, I often see this sort of message (here bash-static and aspell-dict-fr are examples, I see that for various others):
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- bash-static-5.1.16 701KiB 409KiB/s 00:00 ▕█▋ ▏ 9.1%guix substitute: warning: while fetching https://ci.guix.gnu.org/nar/lzip/s3lfskbxkq65f4zf0iair8yz3s7nskml-aspell-dict-fr-0.50-3: server is somewhat slow guix substitute: warning: try `--no-substitutes' if the problem persists guix substitute: error: connect*: Connection timed out --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- And I have not noticed if it’s always about the same compression (lzip). The most recent failure uses 3f59fd6 (pulled on May 23) with: $ /root/.config/guix/current/bin/guix-daemon --version guix-daemon (GNU Guix) 1.3.0-31.3170843 Well, if that’s because guix-daemon is too old, maybe we could provide a more meaningful message. Sometimes, I even get: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- substitute: updating substitutes from 'https://ci.guix.gnu.org'... 0.0%guix substitute: warning: ci.guix.gnu.org: connection failed: Connection timed out --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Cheers, simon
