Indeed, silly me. Then wouldn't using the same layout as Red Hat is
currently using for FC development be best? It's having "SRPMS" and all
arch directories beside each other in the version or component directory.
[...]/redhat/$releasever/{updates,..}/{SRPMS,i386,ia64,..}/{headers/,*.rpm}

Wit the above, you don't really need any kind of symlink, although for
Fedora Core, Red Hat has create one within all $basearch which points to
../SRPMS IIRC.
At a quick glance, this conforms to Warren's recommendations, as long as
the base ftp/rsync directory/module name is "fedoralegacy". I'm also all
for using the "legacy-addons" name for the legacy-specific additional
packages, as we've already seen confusion on the list as to where the
"legacy updates" packages were actually located.
http://download.fedoralegacy.org/redhat/$releasever/<mod>/SRPMS/headers
http://download.fedoralegacy.org/redhat/$releasever/<mod>/SRPMS/*.rpm
http://download.fedoralegacy.org/redhat/$releasever/<mod>/$basearch/headers
http://download.fedoralegacy.org/redhat/$releasever/<mod>/$basearch/*.rpm
With "<mod>" in : base, updates, testing-updates, legacy-addons
The headers in SRPMS could probably be omitted to not increase even more
the number of files to consider for each mirror rsync run, as they are not
useful or used AFAIK.
Oh, another concern : Is there any plan to include any debuginfo packages?
It could then be something like this? :
[...]/fedora/$releasever/updates/$basearch/debug/{headers/,*.rpm}
But the headers for the non-debug packages would then contain the debug
ones too...
