[Pulp-list] Restructuring proposal for /var/lib/pulp

[Pradeep Kilambi]

I'm currently working on a task to make our packages globally unique across the pulp server. Meaning, we'll have one and only one package with same NVREA + checksum at a time and linked to multiple repos. For this I need to restructure our content directory a bit. This is my proposal,

Current Structure,

/var/lib/pulp/
             |_ ReopA/
             |
             |_ RepoB/

Proposed New Structure,

/var/lib/pulp/
             |_Packages/checksum[:3]/*.rpm
             |
             |_Repos/
                    |_RepoA
                    |_RepoB

Packages in RepoA and RepoB will be symlinks to Packages directory. Apache will now only expose /var/lib/pulp/Repos and not include Packages directory. 

Considering this is kinda major change I'm  working off a branch and will see how stable it is before I merge it into this sprint. Overall change is gonna be to both grinder and pulp. 

Lemme know if you have any concerns with this change,
