I think we need to remove the static repos completely [1], they already caused problems in the past which are hard to debug sometimes.
We need a very good reason to want to copy packages manually into oVirt repos,

There should be 2 options:

1. Add a new project via yaml and build-artifacts so the project will be built as any other oVirt project, and a build will be done on any commit.
2. If this comes from external source, then we should strive to use an externa repo for it ( which will be mirrored to ovirt-mirrors )

If the use case isn't one of the above we need to understand it and decide what is the best solution for it, before we start implementing workaround jobs to deploy static rpms.

             Summary: [RFE] Add a jenkins job for copying external packages to static repos
                 Key: OVIRT-1441
                 URL: https://ovirt-jira.atlassian.net/browse/OVIRT-1441
             Project: oVirt - virtualization made easy

Description of problem:

Currently, when we want to copy a package from elsewhere to
resources.ovirt.org, we manually run repoman. It will be nice to have
a jenkins job for this - with inputs probably being URLs of source
packages/repos and target versions to copy to:
1. It will not require us anymore to login there and do sensitive
stuff on it directly
2. It will have proper logs, allowing much more easily understand when
a package was added, by whom, and even perhaps why. So better add to
the inputs also 'Notes'.
