- The apache mirrors defined in guix/download.scm aren't available 
 anymore.
- Compare the info at https://www.apache.org/mirrors
- (At least Some of the) packages are available at 
 https://dlcdn.apache.org/

Maybe(!) this allows for installing newer versions of packages that are downloaded from Apache servers (e.g. Maven). Can anyone test and confirm?

(or any other version that exists) and got:

guix shell: warning: could not find version 3.9.1 of 'maven'

The patch above resolves the origin uri in gnu/packages/maven.scm 
(definition of maven-pom) to something available, 
e.g. https://dlcdn.apache.org/maven/maven-3/3.9.1/source/apache-maven-3.9.1-src.tar.gz

Just to be sure, are you using the Guix where you applied the patch?

I mean, from the Guix repository where you applied you patch, I am
expecting:

    $ ./pre-inst-env guix shell --with-version=maven=3.9.1 maven

If that’s the case, it means the issue is elsewhere. :-)

Cheers,

No, the proposed patch is just an untested guess. I didn't test 
the patch yet, because I didn't manage to build (make) my guix 
working copy yet.

see above (or https://issues.guix.gnu.org/63068#6). I didn't send 
it to guix-patches <at> gnu.org, since I still didn't test the 
patch. Furthermore I am not sure, how a proper commit message 
looks like, when it is not related to a package (there is no 
YASnippet for that, right?).

Best Regards,
Julian

If I try to _build_ maven with my current guix specifying a version I
get this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

$ LC_ALL=C guix build -n --no-substitutes maven --with-version=maven=3.8.6
guix build: warning: could not find version 3.8.6 of 'maven' upstream
The following derivations would be built:

Am I doing something wrong?

I applied the patch and in my guix dev env I try to build maven:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

giovanni <at> roquette [genv]\:  ./pre-inst-env guix build -n --no-substitutes maven
/gnu/store/9cx7sijbc9n1fvq528qysh33v6aqb3d9-maven-3.8.6

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

How can I "force" the build of a package already stored in /gnu/store?

Obviously building with --with-version does not work here, also:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

giovanni <at> roquette [genv]\: ./pre-inst-env guix build -n --no-substitutes maven --with-version=maven=3.8.6

/gnu/store/9cx7sijbc9n1fvq528qysh33v6aqb3d9-maven-3.8.6

[...]

What am I missing?

Thanks! Gio'

See option --check.

For the rest, I will give a look later, but do not hold your breathe. ;-)

The link referenced in

"downloads.apache.org" rather than dlcdn.apache.org.

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Good evening.

Here's another version of patch that changes download URL's for Apache 
Foundation products.

What I have changed:

  * Remove Apache mirror list from download.scm, since all Apache 
projects now use it's own CDN instead of mirrors
  * Set proper download URL to dlcdn.apache.org, not download.apache.org 
mentioned earlier in this discussion. download.apache.org doesn't work. 
All download URLs on apache.org are set to dlcdn.apache.org
  * Use archive.apache.org for outdated httpd-2.4.52 package. The 'last 
resort' trick in the mirror list doesn't work because some mirrors 
return empty file when you try to download from them, guix returns 'sha 
missmatch' error.

Howdy ho, fellow guixers.

I did some minor research on my patch. Looks like I was wrong. There are 
more than one package, that is not available via DLCDN, but only on 
archive.apache.org. So the best solutions seems to be to change the list 
of mirrors in download.scm as described earlier.

I think it is best to tweak the list of mirrors as you suggest here.
However, why remove all the others?  Are they officially down?

What I would suggest is the list:

      (apache ; see https://apache.org/history/mirror-history.html
       "https://dlcdn.apache.org/"
       "http://www.eu.apache.org/dist/"
       "http://www.us.apache.org/dist/"
       "https://ftp.nluug.nl/internet/apache/"
       "http://apache.mirror.iweb.ca/"
       "http://mirrors.ircam.fr/pub/apache/"
       "http://apache.mirrors.ovh.net/ftp.apache.org/dist/"
       "http://apache-mirror.rbc.ru/pub/apache/"
       "ftp://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/apache/"
       "http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/apache/"

Hence the first item will be tried first.  And if it fails, the other
will be checked.  Then if it still fails, Guix will try other sources as
Webarchive, Software Heritage, etc.

Cheers,
simon

Is the update in 766822aa87b94eacb3c49fd68261ae4ce9088a56 sufficient
to mark this as done?

Sorry for the late reply.  Yes, it appears to me sufficient.  Closing! :-)
