You can download it with guix build -S linux-libre-headers when substitutes are enabled. Alternatively, you could fetch this https://mirror.hydra.gnu.org/nar/51f2f2ck80migsfr2hwy4ds30966lifi-linux-libre-4.4.18-gnu.tar.xz Note that this is a nar wrapped in a layer of bzip2 compression, because that’s what hydra does for everything. You can unpack with bunzip2 and then use “guix archive --extract” to turn it into a regular tarball. I’ll open a bug report about the broken URL. Thanks for the report! -- Ricardo GPG: BCA6 89B6 3655 3801 C3C6 2150 197A 5888 235F ACAC https://elephly.net
