While I now can crawl the repository, I then would have to pass the right "lang" version in order to download the package via the planet API - this would require guessing, or iterate through all lang versions across all paths, which is obviously inefficient. Is there a possibility that the underlying package can be exposed via some url so they can be mirrored without using the lang value? I am assuming the packages are held somewhere on the hard drive that are closely related to the package-source directory, so I am assuming exposing the link is a minimal work. If this assumption is not true, let me know, and I will implement the brute force approach until planet can be adjusted for lang-less download. Thanks, yc
