Re: hydra.gnu.org off-line for maintenance

Ciao,

I'm having troubles with substitutes in my test installation

I was able to start a VM (via libvirt/KVM) booting the latest iso
install image

I need a way to download a git repo where I store a simple script i use
to automate the "partitioning" [1] process and a custom config.scm
including a standard set of (base) packages, users and related ssh keys

I authorized berlin.guixsd.org using the key I found in the store:

  guix archive --authorize < 
/gnu/store/cw55zvxzi3d9cjmhfvxsryz31jxb1y6k-guix-0.15.0-1.4876bc8/share/guix/berlin.guixsd.org.pub

then I tried to install git via

  guix package -i git --substitute-urls="https://berlin.guixsd.org 
https://mirror.hydra.gnu.org";

but got the following errors:

...............

     address@hidden ~# guix package -i git 
--substitute-urls="https://berlin.guixsd.org https://mirror.hydra.gnu.org";

.......................


I'm still not able to understand the backtrace, but trying to install
"screen" succeeded, while trying to install "wget" failed in a similar
way


is berlin.guixsd.org missing the "git" and "wget" packages or am I doing
something wrong?

thank you for your support

ciao
Giovanni
