Bug Description

It would be nice if you could host updates for eclipse plugins (like http://launchpad.net/bzr-eclipse) within Launchpad's download section. Apparently this requires having several files and directories with particular names, a bit like an apt archive, and the download capability can't quite do that.

affects: launchpad → launchpad-registry

Yes that is true. Since the librarian is not a directroy, I image we would need a new object with some interesting traversal rules to make all the file appear to be in the right location. Maybe we need a new kind of archive that is recognised when it is uploaded, an eclipse archive object is created which know about all the files it contained and can behave as a directory.
