Where is the guix system crafters iso?

Guix

Installing guix says

first of all, you’ll need to download the .iso file for the latest release on this GitHub repository:

But that link goes to github which has no iso, it has a zip though, which also has no is, but it has a build-iso.sh, but that failed.

So backing up. are the docs misleading? im i supposed to bulid the iso (not download it) and if so, is it build-iso.sh working for everyone else?

As far as I can see, the last one that really got build was Release Guix Installer - 202412150202 · SystemCrafters/guix-installer · GitHub.

@daviwil Build Guix Installer · SystemCrafters/guix-installer@4c7732f · GitHub the GitHub action is broken. Can you give an ETA for the triage of the problem?

This problem is covered in one issue discussion on GH, the .iso file grew larger than 2GB and thus does not fit within GitHub asset limits anymore. You can checkout the repo, and with local guix (package manager version fine) can rebuild the .iso yourself. Takes quite a bit of time though.

I tried to build it and it failed, but i didn’t even check why, so I’ll try again now that i know this is the way.
