Could not transfer metadata: Read timed out

[danielcompton]

I'm not really sure what happened here, but I got an error on deploying. However it seems like the deploy was actually successful. Another user has reported a similar error on Slack I think.

I looks like this is being caused by the uploads to cloudfiles taking too long. I suspect the default aether timeout is 10s, and, depending on the size of the jars and the speed of clouldfiles, we're going over that (I was able to recreate the problem with a test app using a 23kb jar).

I've disabled the uploads for now, since we're not yet using cloudfiles to serve the repo.

The real fix may be to move cloudfiles uploads out to a queue that is processed async. We'll want that queue to be durable, so https://github.com/Factual/durable-queue may be a good fit. We'll also want to move the tmp repos out of /tmp, and into a dir that won't be cleared on reboot (with a cronjob to clear old repos).

Using a queue will mean a slight delay between the deployment finishing and the artifact being available in the CDN-backed repo, but it should only be a matter of seconds.

This was fixed a while ago via 8eb4b18.
