[p2-dev] Question about artifact mirroring

[Thomas Hallgren <thomas@xxxxxxx>]

Let's assume that I have a remote repository that contains two 
descriptors per artifact key, one optimized (pack200) and one canonical. 
I want to mirror this repository to another that later also will be 
deployed as a remote repository. How do I create a mirror that contains 
both the optimized and the canonical files? Copying both from a remote 
location using a RawMirrorRequest doesn't seem very optimal and using a 
standard MirrorRequest will transfer the optimized version but only 
store the canonical.

What I would like the mirror request to do is:
1. Copy the optimized version over the wire.
2. Store the optimized version verbatim.
3. Recreate the canonical version from the optimized one and store that too.

Has this use-case been considered?
