+I created the mirror user to be the owner the mirror tree. The username
+can be changed, at time it only exists in passwd file to wait ldap,
+a massive chown() is also still possible (the mirror tree is less than
+1MB... at time).
+
+May I also suggest we split 'mirror' user in two part:
+- one owning the top level tree and "static" data, or data we push
+  manually (iso, doc, ...)
+- one having permission on distro then able to redo hdlist and push rpms.
+
+Maybe it is too much ?
+
+Talking about mirror, you can push everything you need to setup BS on
+mirror tree until you respect the structure. rsync.mageia still point to
+ryu.zarb.
