That's the non-free kernel, right?
Besides that neither DNS nor Google knows that host.

In general, this long list of source-files looks a bit strange: I think
all/most of these packages are already a Guix package, where
the source code is (more or less) verified to be FSDG-compatible,
possibly with a snipped. Now this package is just getting a huge list of
unreviewed source tarballs in. Hm.

Could we at least somehow reference the source package from Guix?

Björn
