I would like to see a more detailed requirement spec. that lists the 
sites involved and describes how the aggregation is constituted. At what 
times will the aggregation take place for instance? Is everything 
aggregated (nightlys, integrations, milestones) or do they live in 
different aggregates? What "mirrorsURL" should be used in the build? 
Something that points to an aggregation or to an explicit build output? 
What are the preferred names of the updates sites and aggregations?

I think Cloudsmith can help setting things up once such a spec exists. 
Right now however, I'm afraid we'll address just a portion of the 
problem if we make an attempt.
