In this way, we might be able to move content back-and-forth between the two trees without completely screwing up mirrors. What do I mean? Here's the current tree at pub/fedora/linux/releases/ : pub/fedora/linux/releases |-- 7 | |-- Everything | | |-- i386 | | | `-- os | | | |-- Fedora | | |-- source | | | `-- SRPMS | | | `-- repodata | | `-- x86_64 | | `-- os | | |-- Fedora | |-- Fedora | | |-- i386 | | | |-- iso | | | `-- os | | | |-- Fedora | | |-- source | | | |-- SRPMS | | | `-- iso | | `-- x86_64 | | |-- iso | | `-- os | | |-- Fedora | `-- Live | |-- i386 | `-- x86_64 For spins posted on spins.fedoraproject.org, I'd want it to have a similar structure: pub/fedora/linux/releases |-- 8 | |-- Games | | |-- i386 | | | |-- iso | | | `-- os | | |-- source | | | |-- SRPMS | | `-- x86_64 | | |-- iso | `-- OtherRandomSpin | | |-- i386 | | | |-- iso | | | `-- os | | |-- source | | | |-- SRPMS | | `-- x86_64 | | |-- iso Surely we can figure out how to torrent the ISOs directly from the ISO directories then. It may seem extraneous, but this would let us move a popular spin from spins.fp.o onto the master mirror with little difficulty for our mirrors; likewise we could move less-popular spins from the master mirror over to spins.fp.o. And, if we ran rsync on spins.fp.o, we could let people mirror that content via rsync instead of torrent-only. We wouldn't expect our Fedora mirrors to do so, but we wouldn't prevent it either.
