Comment (by iwakeh):

 Further goals are
  1) to replace the tarball-script with a Java module of CollecTor and
  2) to make index.json as accurate as possible.

 For 2) it might be useful to remove the separately configurable create-
 index module.  The index should just be created after each (major) change,
 e.g. any download or sync module run.

 The tarball creation could run as a continuous background process that is
 stops during sync and download runs, i.e. basically 'stays out of the way'
 when other modules run.  It also relates to the index creation as it
 changes the 'archive' path.  Maybe, trigger an index-run after a
 substantial change?

 Other thoughts and general goals?
