Hello,

Looks like the gnu.org webmasters broke our redirects:

(Until now each gnu.org/software/guix page would redirect to its
guix.gnu.org counterpart.)

It’s not nice but also not completely unreasonable of them given that we
moved to guix.gnu.org years ago, so I think we should update any
remaining reference in our blog posts etc. to the new URL.

Thoughts?

Maybe this is originally our/Guix’ fault when we changed manual URLs to
remove duplicate locales, that is, we changed from

https://guix.gnu.org/en/manual/en/html_node/Substitutes.html

to

https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Substitutes.html

at

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2024-09/msg00022.html

Anyway, I do not have a blog, so don’t know, but I would welcome if you
sed-replaced www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual like

No no, it’s really www.gnu.org that systematically responds with a
redirect to https://guix.gnu.org.

Done in 00d3af2881e0e6c2310eb719addb31d86ada917a.
