ARM is a "Secondary Architecture", so we keep the content in a
different rsync module.  Same master servers, different module.

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/Mirroring notes for
Secondary Architectures:

rsync module	Description	path on master server	Comments
fedora-secondary	Fedora Secondary Arches	/pub/fedora-secondary

Thus, you rsync the [fedora-secondary] module, into a directory path
such as pub/fedora-secondary/.  In MirrorManager, you add the 'Fedora
Secondary Arches' Category to your mirror Host, and you add your URLs
to the content at pub/fedora-secondary.

Thanks,
