Gnu.org is down, can't guix system reconfigure

Hi,

I was trying to do a sudo guix system reconfigure, but I get a Git error: failed to connect to git.savannah.gnu.org: Operation timed out.

I looked into gnu.org’s status and it is down (for 18H already).

Can I overlook tapping into git.savannah.gnu.org and continue doing my system reconfigure with some flag or option? I tried some gemini suggested option and couldn’t figure it out.

Many thanks,

The FSF gets currently a lot of DDos attacks and maybe your IP is in a blocked range.

Guix is moveing to codeberg so according to the blog you can change from git.savannah.gnu.org to guix/guix: Transactional package manager, declarative GNU/Linux distribution, reproducible deployment tool, and more! - Codeberg.org.

What this will change for you

As a user, the main change is that your channels.scm configuration files, if their refer to the git.savannah.gnu.org URL, should be changed to refer to https://codeberg.org/guix/guix.git once migration is complete. But don’t worry: guix pull will tell you if/when you need to update your config files and the old URL will remain a mirror for at least a year anyway.
