It’d be great.  If you’re on-line today, I’d like to see how we can
achieve that.  (This manifest is not related to how Cuirass works; it’s
a way to make sure we keep source around and/or notice when it is
unavailable.)

That’s a problem I’d like to fix.  We put a lot of effort in preserving
source code through different means; it’d be ridiculous to be unable to
retrieve tarballs that *are* available on the project’s machines.

Can we run ‘guix publish’ or bordeaux, possibly with additional nginx
routes?  Let’s discuss the details on #guix.

The last thing I’d like to discuss is Disarchive database replication.
The strategy I had imagined doesn’t work here:

  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2021-10/msg00167.html

One approach would be to periodically build
‘etc/disarchive-manifest.scm’ and to copy the result to persistent
storage, as is done on berlin:

  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2021-10/msg00080.html

Another one would be to rsync the whole directory from berlin.

Thoughts?
