I worked with Karsten and Steve on this a bit on IRC, and have a
slightly better design and process to start from.  This is obviously
open for discussion, but here's what I'm thinking:

Project release managers upload a tarball or zip with the appropriate
packages and sources, etc.  This tarball has a pre-defined layout.  The
upload is done to a generic location (not directly
to /var/www/html/repo).  A script running in a cron job unpacks and
places files in the appropriate locations.

The actual directory structure is here: http://ovirt.org/wiki/Releases

I assume that we'll populate the nightlies directory directly from
jenkins once it's up and running.

Format for the tarball should be essentially the directory strcuture
under the stable directory
