[bug#61324] [PATCH] download: Add bordeaux.guix.gnu.org as a content addressed mirror.

[Ludovic Courtès]

Hi!

Christopher Baines <mail@cbaines.net> skribis:

Nice!

Right, could be.  (At one point we had nginx caching for /file URLs; not
sure if that’s still the case, and it wouldn’t really solve the
problem.)
