This had been deployed in production, which took me a bit by surprise
as this discussion didn't seem to have been finished.

It caused a bit of a stir due to SELinux (it was disabled in staging
when I tested those changes), but we fixed it with Pierre-Yves:

The same script handles both:

* checking if a file exists
* uploading a file

When it's called with the upload, we can't do much in the script to
avoid a reupload, it's just going to be reuploaded, and as such the
behaviour I described in my previous email will ensure we end up with
the two copies linked to each other.

However, we could avoid the reupload in normal cases (i.e "fedpkg
upload" and "fedpkg new-sources") because pyrpkg always checks if the
file exists (calling the CGI script) before uploading it.

So we could make the "check" portion of the code verify if the file is
present either in the old or new location, and if it's found only in
the old one, symlink it to the new one.

If that makes sense, I'll cook up a patch (and test it with SELinux
enforcing in staging, this time ;) )
