I cannot say that I like the location of the SRPMS. In this far off
location it cannot take advantage of native repository handling with
apt's native genbasedir. It is also more difficult to browse it in
relation to the binary RPMS built from it.
Also it might make it easier to exclude all SRPMS with a single
--exclude line in rsync, but this is usually not what mirror admins
want. They would rather exclude only the os component and keep the
rest. This would be easier and more intuitive if there is a SRPMS
directory at the same level of each $basearch for each repository.
Also if you intend on keeping RH's massive amount of existing "updates"
SRPMS, there is no way of excluding those only.
