It would be ideal if you would find a mirror of the latest upstream
source at debian.org or anywhere else. Then you can change your recipe
to include several URLs:
(origin
;; …
(uri (list "…epson.net…" "…debian.org…")))
Does that make sense?
When you’re ready I encourage you to follow
<https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Submitting-Patches.html>
and send us the ‘git format-patch’-produced patch so we can incorporate it.
Thank you,
Ludo’.
