6. Run the upload directory transform script ("scripts/uploadbuckets.sh") and
rotate the converted directory structure into place.
7. In order to to provide backward compatible package URLs, enable mod_rewrite
and add the following to your Apache configuration (inside the "VirtualHost"
container or optionally create a ".htaccess" file in the upload directory):
----
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/packages/([^/]{1,2})([^/]*/(PKGBUILD|.*\.tar\.gz|))$ /packages/$1/$1$2
----
The following equivalent rule can be used for lighttpd setups:
----
url.rewrite-once = ( "^/packages/([^/]{1,2})([^/]*/(PKGBUILD|.*\.tar\.gz|))$" => "/packages/$1/$1$2" )
----
If you use a non-standard URL_DIR, slight modifications might be necessary.
