Er, change that 2nd statement: 'The problem is this is who defines what the "multiple" repositories are of?'

If you want it to "revision" a new repository and links everytime someone uploads _any_ new package update, that's going to be a PITA on the server end.

It's much better for _you_ to download the complete repository, and rsync regularly, and then _you_ decide what "snapshots" you want of the repository.
