@dezgeg I saw you modified ncurses on staging (3d24ae9). Is it possible to use the GNU mirror instead?

I don't think we can use gnu mirrors for this unless it's an actual release (not a snapshot). See what's available here to see what I mean.

There is also a 6.0 on the GNU mirror. If 6.1 is problematic we can maybe use that. In any case, we need to make a change because the current one has been removed. While this poses no issue for users with /nix/store, it does for people with custom store location.

ncurses: Add temporary mirror for sources

I found Alpine mirroring the version we have, so it should be temporarily fixed in ce8bd32. But, hopefully the switch to 6.1 can be made soon so that won't be needed anymore.

Just encountered the issue again. The Alpine host seems to be down now as well.

I saw there is a mirror on GitHub, and found a commit corresponding to this version
mirror/ncurses@8d3ea90

The tarball of the following link however has a different hash
https://github.com/mirror/ncurses/archive/8d3ea9021573747ecd129228ba7782a03243f62c.tar.gz

Even so, if this issue persists I think we should use this mirror instead and take the mass-rebuild for granted.

ncurses: use a different mirror / archive
686e2a8 
The ncurses version we use was taken down by upstream. Another mirror
that was added is now also unavailable.

This commit points to a new mirror on GitHub. The hash is however
different.

@edolstra shouldn't the tarball mirroring script handle these cases? Is it stuck somewhere perhaps?

Isn't it ran manually? (#11782)
