This was already discussed in https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=33861 https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2019-04/msg00558.html https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2019-05/msg00234.html This software is unmaintained and nobody is willing to maintain it. If nobody complains, we should drop it from Guix. Here is an archive of a git repository: https://alioth-archive.debian.org/git/users/kaction-guest/retired/guile-bash.git.tar.xz But it doesn't have any commit with id 1eabc563ca5692b3e08d84f1f0e6fd2283284469 which is the one we use in Guix. I tried to download it from SWH, but it failed: $ guix build -S --no-substitutes guile-bash The following derivation will be built: /gnu/store/vrw4yfy4ln6yvc3wwppw4bwiaxdzl4jp-guile-bash-0.1.6-0.1eabc56-checkout.drv building /gnu/store/vrw4yfy4ln6yvc3wwppw4bwiaxdzl4jp-guile-bash-0.1.6-0.1eabc56-checkout.drv... environment variable `PATH' set to `/gnu/store/q09sy224qnxrp982z4xfaxi19721mjx8-gzip-1.9/bin:/gnu/store/ipx79bfj2mrc8npj7s3qi3zri11jfhaw-tar-1.30/bin' Initialized empty Git repository in /gnu/store/7p7mkiqv9ah6x0x20qzpas44sdf7jqkl-guile-bash-0.1.6-0.1eabc56-checkout/.git/ fatal: repository 'https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/users/kaction-guest/retired/dev.guile-bash.git/' not found Failed to do a shallow fetch; retrying a full fetch... fatal: repository 'https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/users/kaction-guest/retired/dev.guile-bash.git/' not found git-fetch: '/gnu/store/04abn97vvc06c84pi8cb3lni9jyxfzmf-git-minimal-2.22.0/bin/git fetch origin' failed with exit code 128 Trying content-addressed mirror at berlin.guixsd.org...

Message could be nicer. Though when I'm searching for individual files from above git repository, I can find them in SWH: https://archive.softwareheritage.org/browse/content/sha1_git:dded8caad51a40c90c763fcf23ad18522f0e90d8/ https://archive.softwareheritage.org/browse/content/44a728397230f178c02131a001c884808bcd2d39/ It would be interesting if I can go in SWH from a file to the full repository. Does anyone know if that is possible? Björn
