guix system image: unexpected guix pull from savannah

[Vasilii Smirnov]

Hello, people. So, today savannah is down for some reason, which
prompted me to switch to a local guix mirror:

> $ guix describe

After this I checked "guix pull" and "guix system reconfigure" - they
worked fine. But then I tried creating an installation image and it
failed trying to pull from savannah again:

Does anyone know why it does that? Any way to fix this?

Hi Vasilii,

FSF had a big outage two days ago.  The reason was a failed storage
array.  I had similar issues, but it works for me now.

Kind regards
Felix

Did you try again? I seem to recall that there were problems connecting
to savannah for a short time, but at least now I can connect.

Yeah, it works now, but the underlying issue is still there - the guix
system image command "phones home" even though the main guix pull
command respects my settings in channels.scm.

I haven't had the time to investigate this yet, I'll probably convert
this to a bug report later.
