Hi,

Just informing that I have cleaned up the archives a bit. There was
some alpine releated projects that I have moved out from 'alpine'
subdir on master mirror. Now we should only have v1.1 - v1.10 + edge
there. I'm thinking of deleteing some of the precompiled binaries
.tbz2 from old alpines (v1.1 -> v1.7). Those were only there to make
rebuild of package faster.

I have also created symlinks to the repos one level up, so edge/main
-> edge/packages/main and edge/testing -> edge/packages/testing. That
is so we get a somewhat shorter repository url:
http://alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/main

I have also thought a bit about the mirrors. Once in a while we get
issues with syncing, that is, APKINDEX.tar.gz gets copied first, then
someone does an apk upgrade -U, fetching the new APKINDEX but fails to
download the packages since they are not copied yet. I think there are
some flags we can/should set on the mirrors. Like --delete-delay and
--delay-updates.
