Hello Guix! When I try to download source code of any package that use git-fetch download method I get an error if I am behind https proxy server. For example,
$ guix build --no-substitutes -S eigen The following derivations will be built: /gnu/store/rsk8d4py0c5qgp7q4xzd9ci3w4l5wki5-eigen-3.4.0-checkout.drv /gnu/store/ac69jx4b08rqd07v5m5ayd5dgh3b9798-eigen-3.4.0-checkout.drv building /gnu/store/ac69jx4b08rqd07v5m5ayd5dgh3b9798-eigen-3.4.0-checkout.drv... hint: Consider installing the `glibc-locales' package and defining `GUIX_LOCPATH', along these lines: guix install glibc-locales export GUIX_LOCPATH="$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/locale" See the "Application Setup" section in the manual, for more info. Initialized empty Git repository in /gnu/store/1syd2rljr26hx9y45645lxwfh1wsya50-eigen-3.4.0-checkout/.git/ fatal: unable to access 'https://gitlab.com/libeigen/eigen.git/': gnutls_handshake() failed: An unexpected TLS packet was received.

But when I use 'git clone' like this: $ guix shell --preserve=https_proxy -CN git nss-certs -- \ git clone https://gitlab.com/libeigen/eigen.git/ it works. I looked into definitions of 'git' and 'git-minimal' packages. They both do not depend on 'gnutls' package (at least directly), but instead on 'openssl'. Then why is git-fetch method apparently using 'gnutls' and not 'openssl'? Is there any workaround for git-fetch (similar to package transformations) that allow to replace 'gnutls' by 'openssl' in its dependency graph? Regards, Nigko
