To address this we’d need an extra command-line option in ‘guix
download’ to specify the name to use in the store (similar to the
‘file-name’ field in <origin>.)

So one would type:

  guix download --name=foo.tar.xz mirror://…/kde-l10n-ca <at> valencia-16.12.3.tar.xz

In the meantime, you can work around it by doing something like:

  guix download -o foo.tar.xz mirror://…/kde-l10n-ca <at> valencia-16.12.3.tar.xz
  guix hash foo.tar.xz

Thanks,
Ludo’.
