However, this source code is mirrored on mirror.hydra.gnu.org. So normally, Guix would download this guile-git checkout directly from mirror.hydra.gnu.org, provided you enabled substitutes: https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Substitute-Server-Authorization.html Could you check if you went through that authorization step? HTH, Ludo’.
