bug#42509: guix refresh: Error downloading release information through the GitHub API

[Alexandru-Sergiu Marton]

Hi,

I tried running `guix refresh` and it gave me this error (after
correctly reporting around 100 packages to be updated):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Backtrace:
          12 (primitive-load "/home/brown/.config/guix/current/bin/g…")

Error downloading release information through the GitHub

I have the GUIX_GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable set.

I'm on commit e4d341fa74d005cc3cd1437a1908ba1993d54d5b.

Cheers,

Fixed:

  https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/?id=ac928d3e9ebdb660f8104f3e4b890a2353787cdf

The problem was with ‘wlstream’, which is apparently no longer hosted at
that URL.  Now the result is:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ ./pre-inst-env guix refresh wlstream
guix refresh: warning: https://api.github.com/repos/atomnuker/wlstream/releases is unreachable (404)
gnu/packages/video.scm:3762:4: warning: 'github' updater failed to determine available releases for wlstream
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Thanks,
Ludo’.
