Bug Description

I ran across a case where a charm needs to deploy a local repository for its (proprietary) binaries to be installed. It currently instructs users to install apache and setup a repo on machine 0, which is a workable solution but not very user friendly.

I thought it would be nice if the ubuntu-repository-cache charm could facilitate the hosting of a private repository. The new reactive/compose functionality[1] should be landing in charm-helpers soon, and its layered approach to charm development seems like a good fit here: a base layer that encapsulates all of the fundamental bits of running a repository, with a layer on top that adds the current functionality for running an ubuntu mirror. It would allow partners who want to host a private repository to take advantage of the awesome work done in the current ubuntu-repository-cache charm.

The link is for reactive, the upcoming replacement for the services framework, related to but not the same as composer. I'll post the link to that once the docs are released.
