Hello, Ludovic Courtès <l...@gnu.org> skribis:
> These patches (actually the last one) switch Guix to default to > <https://ci.guix.info> for substitutes, in preparation for the > upcoming 0.16.0 release (hopefully this week!). Right now, ci.guix.info points to berlin.guixsd.org, the front-end of the build farm hosted at the MDC. The previous setup was that mirror.hydra.gnu.org mirrors hydra.gnu.org (the actual build farm front-end) using an nginx proxy: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix/maintenance.git/tree/hydra/nginx/mirror.conf This provides a bit of redundancy that we don’t have currently for berlin. Thus, I’m thinking about using a similar setup, but hosting the mirror on some Big Corp CDN or similar. Chris Marusich came up with a setup along these lines a while back: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2016-03/msg00312.html Compared to Chris’s setup, given that ‘guix publish’ now provides ‘Cache-Control’ headers (that was not the case back then, see <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2016-03/msg00360.html>), caching in the proxy should Just Work. I would like us to set up such a mirror for berlin and then have ci.guix.info point to that. The project should be able to pay the hosting fees. Thoughts? Would someone like to get started? You’ll undoubtedly get all the appreciation of each one of us and a beverage of your choice next time we meet! :-) Thanks, Ludo’.
