(title
(en "ci.guix.gnu.org to stop offering Gzip substitutes"))
(body
(en "This is a notice to let you know that starting next
month (2022/03/01), Gzip-compressed substitutes will no longer be available,
which means that Guix daemons from a revision older than commit
@samp{3092f1b835d79655eecb2f8a79dda20ad9ba6bd6} (2019/06/02) will loose the
ability to download binary substitutes. Starting next month, only lzip and
zstd substitutes will be offered. Dropping Gzip substitutes will free about
6.5 TiB of storage space from the build farm.")))
