that the linux libre tarballs for version 4.4.18 are no longer
available on any of the usual locations. The next version that has a
full tarball and not just a compressed diff is version “4.4.24-gnu”.
The lack of this tarball doesn’t hurt most users because a substitute
for the tarball is available on hydra, but this doesn’t help when
building everything without substitutes.

Thank you for explaining.
I did not know about hydra.gnunet.org, cool! :-)

Well, Guix could keep all the tarballs until the Tarball Heritage is up. :-)

I am closing. Feel free to reopen if I am making a mistake.
