• Guix project migrating to Codeberg

    From LWN.net@86:200/23 to All on Tue May 13 06:40:07 2025

    The Guix project has announced
    that it is migrating all of its Git repositories, as well as bug
    tracking and patch tracking, from Savannah to the Codeberg Git forge.

    As a user, the main change is that your channels.scm
    configuration files, if they 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.

    The motivation for the move, which is spelled out in a Guix
    Consensus Document (GCD), is to improve the contribution
    experience and improve quality assurance efforts. Migration of Git
    repositories should be completed by June 7, though they will
    continue to be mirrored on Savannah until "at least" May 2026. LWN covered Guix in February 2024.
