Dear,

The mention of the gna.org closing down is reported in bug #25913
http://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/25913. Therefore, the package gdsl is not
maintained and the both URLs source and home-page are now unreachable.
Currently, substitutes are available on <ci.guix.gnu.org> but nothing prevents
an unfortunate "guix gc". This patch uses Software Heritage as an archive for
upstream source, but since tarballs are not yet fully supported by SWH, the
support 'git-fetch' is used instead.

Last, let check the integrity of the switch.

Applied with the change below, to avoid the empty URI.

I’ve checked that the content hashes match:

Toggle snippet (6 lines)
$ (cd /tmp; tar xf $(guix build -S gdsl); guix hash -r /tmp/gdsl-1.8)
0a52g12d9sf9hhcyvwfd7xdazj2a9i9jh97cnlqf2ymvwnvjk1g0
$ guix hash -r $(./pre-inst-env guix build -S gdsl)
0a52g12d9sf9hhcyvwfd7xdazj2a9i9jh97cnlqf2ymvwnvjk1g0

Thanks,
Ludo’.
