It will download and parse the latest Centos, Fedora, Epel and Apache mirror lists into files/*_mirrors files for acng.

The default acng config in the deployable/acng:latest tag has no opinion on backends deployable/acng:latest-au includes the AU backends, :latest-uk and :latest-us tags are built as well.
