Comment (by jollyroger):

 I'd vote for having something like
 `http://mirror.buildbot.net/{pypi,debian,ubuntu,redhat,centos,windows,macosx,etc}`.
 Use anything you like instead of `mirror`. If there would be a need or a
 volunteer to support any distribution you could always add one more
 directory. Sure, source distribution is the primary one.

 As for building RPMs, DEBs, etc. There was a situation (and not just once)
 where important files appeared in the repository but were missing in the
 source tarball that caused failed tests and broken package build. So if
 there would be anyone willing to support continious packaging, there's no
 point to not integrate this work into metabuildbot.

 Replying to [comment:6 verm]:
 > I agree with Dustin, keeping pypi on the Python pypi archives is the
 best course of action.  We want to be the canonical source for Buildbot.
 We can't support everything, what if someone creates a buildbot RPM?  Do
 we host that?
