Yes, we just didn't reach a decision about which method we prefer. It's
probably best if we give you an ssh account to our machine, and then you
pull with rsync over ssh a specified directory on maybe a nightly
schedule. At least lets try starting with that. I can see why later we
might want to be able to push, in order to get new releases mirrored sooner.
