Since the other thread is huge and hard to follow, I am creating a new
thread.
I would like to use this thread to talk strictly about the Local Mirror
wiki article.

I have updated the wiki article to reflect the new pool directory.
Currently there are some packages that are in pool/ while others are still
in {$repo}/os/${arch}. Those in pool have symlinks to {$repo}/os/${arch}

>From my understanding, eventually, all packages will be in pool/

I am hoping someone who runs a Local Mirror can try this out. I do not
have a need for a local mirror nor do I want to pull Gigs of data from a
mirror to test this. However, I have done dry runs on the rsync command.

@Devs: Maybe someone can update the Mirror Section in the NewMirrors wiki
article
