Hi folks,

The FSF's LibrePlanet last weekend has reinvigorated my interest
to learn more about and start using guix.  I have a version of
the guix package manager on my machine from last year.  It's a
little newer than 0.13.0.  I tried using guix pull to update it,
but there is a problem as the transcript below shows.  I suspect
that the address

https://gitlab.com/amirouche/guile-git/

is no longer correct.  It looks like the source for guile-git is at

https://gitlab.com/guile-git/ .

I git-cloned the guile-git repo, but I'm not sure how to install
it or where to put the libraries.  Can anybody help?

Thanks,

Scott

Indeed.

The problem here is that the Guix you have is referring to the old URL,
so it fails to download and build Guile-Git.

However, this source code is mirrored on mirror.hydra.gnu.org.  So
normally, Guix would download this guile-git checkout directly from
mirror.hydra.gnu.org, provided you enabled substitutes:

  https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Substitute-Server-Authorization.html

Could you check if you went through that authorization step?

HTH,
Ludo’.

Thanks, Ludo'.  That was just what I needed.
