What I expect is to mirror nar/narinfo conveniently and fast, that is
the purpose why I raise this topic. And I know to run "guix publish" to
create a repo for users, the problem I want to solve is to sync
/gnu/store with the upstream conveniently and fast.

There is the national firewall in China, so common users have difficult
to download Guix packages in a fair speed. This may hardly understand by
people outside China, but that is the fact.

We hope there's a way like rsync to sync /gnu/store with upstream, so
that we can provide a faster cache for Chinese users.


Best regards.
