That would be nice. Remember that with what you propose it will be:
ftp.skynet.be
ftp
/pub/suse/distribution/
10.0
i386
i586
10.1
i386
i586
ftp.skynet.be
http
/pub/suse/distribution/
10.0
i386
i586
10.1
i386
i586
ftp.skynet.be
rsync
/pub/suse/distribution/
10.0
i386
i586
10.1
i386
i586
ftp.example.org
ftp
/pub/suse/distribution/
10.0
i386
i586
10.1
i386
i586
The problem I have with deciding what the best order is, is that a lot of
the data is double.
