So you are rsync’ing from ci, right?  Is the mirror running ‘guix
publish’ to cope with the “weird” file layout in
/var/cache/guix/publish?

If you’re interested, you could write an article for the blog post (in
English, but it’d be a good opportunity to start translating the web
site into Chinese :-)) about your setup and the choices you made.

Thank you & everyone involved!
