Do we want to store our blobs in the database, or where then?

I'd actually suggest that we might consider keeping them in Amazon S3. This removes us from the business of building features related to blob storage.

So I played around a little on AWS and created the following directory structure:

backups/
logs/
- amazon/
- build/
- server/
packages/
- documentation/
- html/
- search/
- hoogle/
- source/

This encompasses all categories of blob that I can see us needing to manage, for now!

A point to keep in mind if we do go the S3 route as I propose is that it will be shared magically across all mirrors, unless they are configured not to of course, as for a private mirror. So they need to behave.

for now lets not do the docs and buliding and such for our initial efforts. but worth keeping in mind
