Heh, there's a lot of infection happening this evening (see the other
thread from ilmu)
And now I see where his script variant may be coming from, will the
infection rate be
higher ?

OK now, COVID-related jokes asides, you're right this is outdated.

You could try with just updating the URLs to guix binary tarballs and
tell us if this
still works, or even contribute by sending a patch fixing it.

This should be straightforward.
