I've been pondering and I wonder if instead of another full
mirrormanager we just create a small app or even just a apache config
that:
* If it gets a request for a rawhide / branched metalink, it just serves
up one from the current compose area ( /mnt/koji/composes/whatever ).
It would only need 1 mirror in the list (kojipkgs) pointing to the
right path. It could create the checksums on the fly even.
* If it gets request for anything else it just passes it on to the real
mirrors.fedoraproject.org
Then we set this up in dns to give the small app/apache as
mirrors.fedoraproject.org in qa. Other machines there shouldn't be
bothered because we pass on non rawhide/branched requests.
Would that work?

probably, we need a way to test things end to end, if it works exactly like mm
does i guess it does not matter, there is a chance it will have bugs and do
things different that will not be detected until mm is in use.
