One of the things we very much want to do is to not re-publish obsolete and
renamed packages every build.  We want to publish them once, and that's it.

The mechanism I was envisioning was to have a file in each build direcetory
called "obsoleted" (or something similar), which would include all the
importer files for the packages that were being obsoleted that build.
redist_cluster should include that file, so that they get pulled in when
doing a build.  That file wouldn't be copied from build to build, so that
each obsoleted package gets published that way just once.

What we can do is create that obsoleted file for each build (so that we can
still know what build each package was obsoleted in), but only have the
build 127 (and forward) redist_cluster actually import it.  That first one
will need to have the accumulation of all the previous ones, so that we
actually do publish all the old obsolete packages for build 127.

Does that sound reasonable?  I don't think it'll be terribly hard to
implement.

The changes you've got there look fine.

Thanks,
Danek
