mirrors of main guix repository at savannah

Hola Guix,

  Have we ever consider the need of (more or less) official mirrors for
  main guix repo at savannah ? I’m convinced this might be useful. I’m
  thinking about a hook for pushing to additional mirrors on new
  commits.

  My concern is about automatically building container images remotely
  using ci jobs. When the pull stage fails for any reason, the image
  breaks (hopefully) until next try, which is annoying. Pulling from the
  ci service itself should be way more stable.

  I’m sure redundancy must be useful in other contexts.

Thanks,

I maintain a lazy mirror on Codeberg. [1] The effort is manual because
Codeberg no longer offers automatic pulls, but I can talk to them again.

The repo should really have a project-based URL rather than my own.

I need the code on Codeberg because my equipment no longer runs on stock
Guix.

Kind regards
Felix

Same context at the sr.ht side of life.

Nice.

Yeah, we could have a “guix” org at Codeberg.

You have a cron job that does “git pull savannah && git push codeberg”,
right?  We could set that up on one of the project’s machine.

If you already happen to have an mcron job or shepherd timer or
something, feel free to send a patch again maintenance.git to add it.

There already is: https://codeberg.org/guix

Anyhow I don't know who created it or is the owner.

Few mirrors (including Guix) are available here[0] as well.  They are
synced every 6 hours (assuming Savannah works).

I think it is good to have multiple backup locations, so I am just
putting my personal here. ^_^

Here is another one, kept updated automatically by GitLab's mirroring
functionality so as long as I pay the GitLab bills (and don't remove
this repository) this will continue to work:

Hi Simon,

Would you mind if I add your mirror to <https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Group:Guix/Mirrors>?

It used to advertise 'our' 'unofficial' mirror on GitHub, but they since removed (free) synchronisation.

And they're GitHub.

Kind regards,

T G-R

Sent on the go.  Excuse or enjoy my brevity.

Please do, I am inclined to keep paying for that GitLab namespace for
other reasons.  GitLab has a similar concern as GitHub, except that
GitLab is GitLab, but I suppose all hosting sites have their set of
concerns these days, so the more the merrier.

Hi all,

FWIW I run a fork that autoupdates regularly (provided my desktop pc is 
on) at [0], this is the basic mcron job[1][2] I use (might migrate it to 
Shepherd timers soon).


cheers,

giacomo
