Hello!
If there are no objections, I’d like to change the default substitute
URLs to just “https://mirror.hydra.gnu.org”.
Currently it’s “https://mirror.hydra.gnu.org https://hydra.gnu.org” (see
config-daemon.ac), but the second URL is redundant and can only cause
slowness (if a substitute is missing on the mirror, the other machine is
queried but it likely lacks it as well.)
Since guix-maintenance commit 539f7351d749e25c73e90877ea159d495ed4d4b0,
mirror.hydra.gnu.org caches build logs as well, which removes the main
reason for keeping hydra.gnu.org among the substitute URLs.
Thoughts?
Ludo’.

How about adding/replacing by https://mirror.guixsd.org? It would be good
to (also) have a mirror URL under our control, so we could act quickly in
case of a problem independently of the FSF sysadmins.

I prefer to keep the mirror.hydra.gnu.org name, I think it’s clearer.

Could there not be two, both of which would be checked, so if a package is not
found on the first one, it is searched on the second one? This would make things
more resilient.

I don't believe it's currently possible to list more than one substitute
url with --substitute-urls=

Yes, that’s why we currently have mirror.* followed by hydra.*.
But given that the former is a mirror of the latter, which clients do
not know, it’s a bit silly: when mirror.* lacks an item, clients try
hydra.* but are very unlikely to get a positive answer there. However,
they pay an extra network query.
Having several URLs pointing to the same server would be similarly
inefficient.
Hope this clarifies things.

Of course it’s possible, hence the plural. :-) (It’s even the default,
which is the whole point of this discussion. ;-))

Indeed. So we could modify this again if we ever have distinct mirror
machines, not just distinct names.
