HELP Wanted: Redirecting repo-traffic to packagecloud.io
It seems that no response codes will deter linux package-management tools
and the amount of traffic we had beating up on the project server that
way was totally swamping any other traffic.

That's not a problem of course, we run varnish.

But it is a LOT of users not getting good service.

I spent some hours trying to find out where to send them on packagecloud.io
and came up with this:

if (req.url ~ "repomd.xml") {
set req.http.urlx = regsub(req.url,
".*varnish-([345])[.](.)/el(.*)",
"/varnishcache/varnish\1\2/el/\3");
return (synth(301,"packagecloud"));
}
if (req.url ~ "^/(ubuntu|debian)/dists/[^/]*/I*n*Release$") {
/*
* We don't seem to have files on packageio which lists all
* releases, so point these at release5.2
*/
set req.http.urlx = regsub(req.url,
"/(ubuntu|debian)/dists/(.*)/(I*n*Release)",
"/varnishcache/varnish52/\1/dists/\2/\3");
return (synth(301,"packagecloud"));
}

I'm still seeing a lot of "deep" urls being requested (see below) but
I'm hoping these will migrate to packagecloud now that the top-level
URLs point them there.

I would appreciate if somebody with more linux package clue than me
(ie: any non-zero amount of clue will be helpful) can sanity-check
what I've done.
