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](http://gnu.org)’s status and it is down (for 18H already).

Can I overlook tapping into [git.savannah.gnu.org](http://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](http://git.savannah.gnu.org) to [guix/guix: Transactional package manager, declarative GNU/Linux distribution, reproducible deployment tool, and more! - Codeberg.org](https://codeberg.org/guix/guix.git).

> # What this will change for you
> 
> As a user, the main change is that your [`channels.scm` configuration files](https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/html_node/Invoking-guix-pull.html), 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.
