repo setup [RFC]

So the requests I have received or heard so far around "providing
package and tarball download locations" are:

1. ftp.ovirt.org as location with packages for various distros as well
as binary and source tarballs.

2. Yum repository for the Fedora packages being worked on, until they
get in to Fedora.

3. Location for different distros package management tools to find
packages.

4. Centrally maintained details (examples) of the files used for
different package management needs, e.g. files for /etc/yum.repos.do/ etc.

Items 2 & 3 are essentially the same, but I wanted to call out the Yum
repository since it's a top priority to happen this week. :)

Here are my proposals for this:

A. We have a neutral package repository URL base of ovirt.org/repo.

B. The same directory tree can host .zip and tarballs.

C. We setup ftp.ovirt.org to serve FTP and HTTP of the /repo directory
as the DocumentRoot for ftp.ovirt.org.

Any thoughts?
