guile-bash fails to build. The site https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/use
rs/kaction-guest/retired/dev.guile-bash.git says it is not on the web
server.

I checked the wayback machine, github, and gitlab for some sort of
backup, but have had no luck. Is there a trustworthy replacement
source? If not, I'm not sure we should keep the package.

Perhaps a copy of the sources can be found in the Software Heritage
archive?

This was already discussed in 

https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=33861
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2019-04/msg00558.html
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2019-05/msg00234.html

This software is unmaintained and nobody is willing to maintain it.
If nobody complains, we should drop it from Guix.

Here is an archive of a git repository:

https://alioth-archive.debian.org/git/users/kaction-guest/retired/guile-bash.git.tar.xz

But it doesn't have any commit with id

1eabc563ca5692b3e08d84f1f0e6fd2283284469

which is the one we use in Guix.

I tried to download it from SWH, but it failed:

Maybe it is not part of SWH? Message could be nicer. Though when I'm
searching for individual files from above git repository, I can find
them in SWH:

https://archive.softwareheritage.org/browse/content/sha1_git:dded8caad51a40c90c763fcf23ad18522f0e90d8/
https://archive.softwareheritage.org/browse/content/44a728397230f178c02131a001c884808bcd2d39/

It would be interesting if I can go in SWH from a file to the full
repository. Does anyone know if that is possible?

I don't know if it's exactly the same, but I found something similar at
https://archive.softwareheritage.org/browse/origin/https://github.com/k
action/guile-bash/directory/
Thanks for the suggestion.

I requested a tarball, and received this statement in the email:
"Please keep in mind that this link might expire at some point, in
which case you will need to request the bundle again."

Do you have any recommendations on where to host the tarball? If
necessary, I am willing to create a repository for the code on my
github.

Hello SWH!

We noticed¹ that the ‘fetch_url’ of this Vault entry returns 404:

  https://archive.softwareheritage.org/api/1/vault/directory/ad8976564375ee55f645387bbcdf4b66e6582fbf/

Is that supposed to happen?  I don’t remember hitting a ‘fetch_url’ that
would be 404 before.

For the record, it corresponds to this revision:

  https://archive.softwareheritage.org/api/1/revision/1eabc563ca5692b3e08d84f1f0e6fd2283284469/

Thanks in advance,
Ludo’.

Ouch.  I’ve improved error reporting handling here, but I think the
fundamental issue is that SWH is failing to deliver this thing, even
though it does have it:

Thanks for looking into this. Let's see what SWH has to say.

After all, I think we should leave this pack in Guix. At least it is a
good SWH-test-package :-)

Hi!

We've recently moved the Software Heritage Vault to different infrastructure.
In doing so, the existing bundles were scrapped; however, the old cache entries
in the database hadn't been invalidated.

I've now made sure that pre-migration cache entries have been invalidated. I've
also scheduled cooking of objects that had been accessed recently, including
the one you've referenced, and they should now be available for download (or
at least trickling in).

Thanks for the report!

It’s much nicer now.  I guess we have a good test case.  :-)

Thanks for explaining!
