Comment 6 for bug 1212434

FWIW, I'd much rather us get real data from a sane server side, then scrape around on mulitple different urls.

My goal, which I've told lots of people, but it seems has not stuck anywhere was to get maas-import-pxe-files replaced with a sipmlestreams client and get simplestreams server side data.

The code at: https://code.launchpad.net/~smoser/maas/netinst2ss
basically scrapes the archives and represents the data in a simplestreams format that can then be mirrored.
