When possible, use mirrors in the source URL (@pxref{Invoking guix download}).
|
||||||
|
Use reliable URLs, not generated ones. For instance, GitHub archives are not
|
||||||
|
necessarily identical from one generation to the next, so in this case it's
|
||||||
|
often better to clone the repository. Don't use the @command{name} field in
|
||||||
|
the URL: it is not very useful and if the name changes, the URL will probably
|
||||||
|
be wrong.
