Sounds like a plan -- in theory could we simply add it to the rsync'd path(s)? And then update the grubby code to look locally only? This also makes it easier to keep things in-sync -- rather than relying on either a local or remote mirror to have the appropriate version of the tarball, we can ensure version updates and the tarball updates happen in the same commit.
