Hi Guix, in order to improve availability of binary substitutes and download speeds for many users, we will experiment with Amazon’s CloudFront CDN service for https://ci.guix.info. Note that this only concerns the distribution of substitutes; builds still happen on the same build farm as before, berlin.guixsd.org.
Starting on Wednesday 23 at 01:15 UTC requests for substitutes that are sent to https://ci.guix.info will be served by the CDN instead. This experiment is expected to last up to one month. The maintainers and Guix system administrators will re-evaluate the use of a CDN for ci.guix.info at that point. If you prefer to bypass the CDN you can connect to https://berlin.guixsd.org directly as before. On a Guix system you can override the list of default substitute servers with this services value: (modify-services %desktop-services (guix-service-type config => (guix-configuration (inherit config) (substitute-urls (list "https://berlin.guixsd.org";))))) -- Ricardo on behalf of the Guix maintainers
