DNS problems with guix.gnu.org domain (and a tip)

DNS problems with guix.gnu.org domain (and a tip)

[Maxim Cournoyer]

Hello,

There is currently a problem with DNS for the various Guix services.
Berlin at least appears to be running fine otherwise, and you can still
get substitutes by using its public IP like:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
guix install hello --substitute-urls='https://141.80.181.40'
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I thought I'd share this useful tip while the problem is investigated
and resolved.

Thanks,
Maxim

Is it possible that the problem would come from
1e428e8fd6945f5c9f13a14e9cd97c81f3f4d945 or
d3627a9d877a40b357739aa9c21753fd14f43227 from the repository
maintenance?

It is not the issue. :-)  Sorry for the noise.

Quoting Ricardo [1]:

   Short story is that the main GNU DNS server that we talk to has a new IP.
