Subject: metabug: move gna.org packages to new upstream locations
Date: Wed, 1 Mar 2017 13:46:42 +0000

As you might have noticed (or not), gna.org is closing down soon.

Read http://gna.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=2545 for more on the
subject.

So we need to move yet another bunch of packages to where ever they moved
now. The sources I mean. And maybe notify upstream in case you feel like
it.

I will open this as a bug so that it can be closed once it is done.
Please close this bug once all packages have been moved.


Packages are few in number:

[user <at> abyayala ~/src/guix/guix]$ egrep -nr "gna.org" gnu/packages
gnu/packages/guile.scm:1289:                    "http://download.gna.org/guile-dbi/guile-dbi-"

I am not user of gdsl so I do not know if there is another location.
Ricardo? As you added it (2016), do you know?

Christopher, you have recently updated "guile-dbi", do you know
another location?


In both case, I propose to place them in any Gitlab or Github
location. What do you think?


All the best,
simon

Subject: [PATCH 0/1] Fix unreachable gdsl package
Date: Tue, 15 Sep 2020 16:01:34 +0200

Dear,

The mention of the gna.org closing down is reported in bug #25913
<http://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/25913>.  Therefore, the package gdsl is not
maintained and the both URLs source and home-page are now unreachable.
Currently, substitutes are available on <ci.guix.gnu.org> but nothing prevents
an unfortunate "guix gc".  This patch uses Software Heritage as an archive for
upstream source, but since tarballs are not yet fully supported by SWH, the
support 'git-fetch' is used instead.

Last, let check the integrity of the switch.
