  The image packaging "protocol" is a series of GET and POST operations
  over HTTP.  Writing a mirroring program should be a relatively simple
  exercise in either shell or Python, depending on which API you wish to
  use.  Using the Python APIs will help the image packaging effort have
  interfaces of higher utility.  

  That is, the data is already available to mirror.
