Comment (by bochecha):

 An update on the current status.

 This follows the migration plan I had outlined on the mailing-list:

     https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/rel-
 eng/2014-April/017619.html

 Staging has distgit in Ansible, so I've rebased the first part of my
 patches to it, and Pierre-Yves merged them. (thanks!)

 The current status is that the **staging** lookaside can now accept
 uploads as SHA512, but still falls back on MD5. It can also store the
 uploaded sources in the new directory layout (containing the hash type),
 but doesn't do it for MD5.

 So all in all, with all this merged, we are preparing for the migration,
 but absolutely nothing should change.

 Again, this is **only in staging** for now.
