So I think the issue is that, when ‘nss-certs’ is not installed, ‘guix
pull’ uses the LE certs, but these certificates expire quite frequently,
whereas if you have ‘nss-certs’ installed, there’s “always” a valid
authentication chain from the roots.
Indeed, running ‘guix pull’ in the 1.2.0 live VM image works (it has
‘nss-certs’ installed in /etc/ssl/certs). Likewise, a Guix System 1.2.0
installation that includes ‘nss-certs’ (which is the default) is
unaffected.
For those who do not have ‘nss-certs’ installed, a workaround is to do
avoid HTTPS:
guix pull --url=http://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git
This is fine because the ‘guix’ channel is authenticated anyway.
We could also add a ‘--no-check-certificates’ option to ‘guix pull’.
For that, Guile-Git needs to implement
‘git_transport_certificate_check_cb’ & co. I started doing that but
it’s a bit of work (wrapping ‘struct git_cert’ is cumbersome) so I’m
willing to punt on it for now.
Thoughts?
