Subject: [PATCH] download: Add official SourceForge mirror.
Date: Fri, 22 Jul 2016 13:08:31 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1469210911.1549087.674070209.3110DF3E@webmail.messagingengine.com> (raw)

This patch mirrors a similar change in nixpkgs [1][2].
The official method for downloading from SourceForge is to use
downloads.sourceforge.net, which redirects to various other mirrors. It
can be unreliable, but also faster because it can find a nearby mirror
and load-balance. If it fails Guix will still fall back to known good
mirrors.
