this is the new layout.

all new packages are copied in pool directory to avoid synchronizing 
again the mirrors once they are moved from a repo to another.
this way, when packages are moved, mirrors have to synchronize only the 
new symlinks location

pool/packages contain packages for 
core/extra/testing/gnome-unstable/kde-unstable/staging and 
pool/community the other repos available
