Namespace and repository for mirrors
As a follow up from GNOME/gnome-build-meta#301 (closed) ; I think it would be great if we have all our external dependencies mirrored in GNOME infra (and usable not only by gnome-build-meta but by everyone)
Benefits:
- As we rely more and more in CI, we will avoid failures for external deps being unavailable
- As we rely more in CI, we will avoid DDOS our external dependencies, which is nice
What we need:
- Subdomain to store the mirrors: maybe https://gitlab.gnome.org/infrastructure/mirrors/
- A repo somewhere that will store the mirror configuration: maybe https://gitlab.gnome.org/infrastructure/mirrors/config
- A machine to deploy lorry-controllers and the repos temporarily; about 500GB will be enough
