The patch LGTM, but I don’t have commit access, so you will have to wait for someone else to merge it. :-)
Hi, I have not followed closely the discussion so maybe I am off topic.

But the last is a real mirror––from ci I guess. It implies that the user does not necessary get the same binaries if the build is not reproducible. Well, my point is: the word «mirror» from the sentence «you can add a mirror that is nearer…» should be «server» and the documentation should not talk about mirror here, IMHO. If my understanding is correct. :-) > +@item @code{https://github.com/guix-mirror/guix} branch @code{master} > +- USA, unofficial mirror. Who is behind this mirror? Well, I am not sure what means USA here. All the best, simon
