Pull errors with git error 502

Pull errors with git error 502

[Todor Kondić]

A simple `guix pull'

outputs the following,

Updating channel 'eci-pkg-menu' from Git repository at 'https://git-r3lab.uni.lu/eci/eci-pkg-menu.git'...
Updating channel 'guix' from Git repository at 'https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git'...
guix pull: error: Git error: unexpected HTTP status code: 502


and dies.

I tried going back to default channels and still the same error. I also tried restarting the guix-daemon, no success.

The guix repository on savannah seems to be alright.

Also note that my installation is about 40 days out of date (no guix pull in that amount of time).

This is a known issue.  Savannah (which hosts the guix git 
repository used by ‘guix pull’) has been under attack for a 
week[0].  If you have or create a Savannah account, you can clone 
over SSH to bypass the overloaded HTTP proxies although guix pull 
--url= doesn't support that directly.

If that's not possible, retrying ‘guix pull’ a few times tends to 
succeed after a few times.

Guix will probably host a git mirror in future to mitigate attacks 
like these, assuming nobody attacks us directly.  We're a lot more 
vulnerable than Savannah.

Kind regards,

T G-R

I have the same and my last pull was 2 days ago.

All the GNU/FSF infra have troubles [1], e.g., [2].
