Subject: (guix build download) leaks file descriptor on TLS connections
Date: Thu, 19 Mar 2015 19:16:24 +0100

When opening an HTTPS connection, the file descriptor beneath the port
returned by ‘tls-wrap’ is leaked.

This is not a problem in most cases (downloads) because the process is
left as soon as the download is over.

This is more problematic for ‘guix lint’, which may open a large number
of HTTPS connections for the ‘source’ and ‘home-page’ checkers when
working on all the packages.
