Guix mirrors

[Begley Brothers Inc <begleybrothers@gmail.com>]

Hi,
Over the last 24 hours I've experienced `guix pull` etc being
unavailable (HTTP 504's then 502's) more than available.

Is there a reason why a post receive hook can't be added to the guix
repo to push to github, gitlab, etc. and in that way at least give
users some protection against these outages?

There is a mirror[1] possibly (unofficial?) but it looks like it is
driven by some chron task.

The required post receive hook is well documented[2], and not
un-common amoung reputable OS projects:

- Android
- The Apache Software Foundation
- The Chromium Project
- The Eclipse Foundation
- The FreeBSD Project
- The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
- GNOME
- The Linux kernel source tree
- Qt
