ok, so do you simply rsync the repositories from the other distributions you need?
Short answer: yes.
Long answer: Every repository has its own suggestion how to mirror. I do not have Debian mirror, my friend sysadmin in the next building maintains one, no need for two in the same institution. Here in my cron job script for mirroring CentOS (with some local details obfuscated):
#============== #!/usr/local/bin/bash # We use locks...
touch=/usr/bin/touch echo=/bin/echo ps=/bin/ps cat=/bin/cat grep=/usr/bin/grep wc=/usr/bin/wc rm=/bin/rm sendmail=/usr/sbin/sendmail date=/bin/date rsync=/usr/local/bin/rsync # DEFAULTS ADDR=recipient@server FROM=sender@hostingmirror lockfile=/.../lock/centosmirror.lock mirror=/.../mirror/centos logfile=/.../mirrorlog/centos.log
# check if log file exists, and create if not
if [ ! -f $logfile ]; then $touch $logfile fi
# check if lock exists, then bale out sending warning, # otherwise rsync
if [ -f $lockfile ]; then
# check if the process resembling lock still exists, # if not, just delete lock
if [ "$($ps -p `$cat $lockfile` | $wc -l)" -gt 1 ]; then
# Send the message ( $echo "From: $FROM" $echo "To: $ADDR" $echo "Subject: CentOS mirror failed" $echo "" $echo "CentOS mirror process bailed out as there is another process" $echo "with the same name and the following PID:" $echo "" $echo "`$cat $lockfile`" echo "" echo "You may want to check logs:" echo "" echo "/.../mirrorlog/centos.log" ) | $sendmail -F $ADDR -t
else
# no process, just delete the lock, and mirror
$rm -f $lockfile
$echo $$ > $lockfile $echo "`$date` started mirroring" >> $logfile $rsync -aqH --exclude .~tmp~/ --exclude .~tmp~ --delete us-msync.centos.org::CentOS /data/mirror/centos $echo "`$date` finished mirroring" >> $logfile $rm $lockfile
fi
else
$echo $$ > $lockfile $echo "`$date` started mirroring" >> $logfile $rsync -aqH --exclude .~tmp~/ --exclude .~tmp~ --delete us-msync.centos.org::CentOS /data/mirror/centos $echo "`$date` finished mirroring" >> $logfile $rm $lockfile

Pulp is a bit overkill for my liking.
Coming back to the original question: mirror hosting variety of distributions, does not have to have any packaging or other tools used by those distributions. Public mirror box I support runs FreeBSD, and hosts mirrors of CentOS, Ubuntu, CPAN, EPEL, …
I hope, this helps.

Hello,
Is Pulp not supposed to do what you want : RPM, DEB and more in the same software ?
I'm not using Pulp, just reading their website.

Thank you. This at least point me in the right direction. I don't quite want to setup 2 servers, or 2 VM's for this.

You need to grab a copy of debmirror, which is just a Perl script, so
it
should work under CentOS. I don't know where to get a version as a
tarball
-- I had an available VM running Ubuntu and just installed it there and
NFS
mounted the mirror disk from the CentOS server. There is a config file
for
debmirror to control where you mirror from and just what you mirror (versions, arches, etc.). There is a man page and and example config file. You
then
run debmirror from crontab (eg every day).
Unfortunately, the Debian flavor repositories are not structured to
just
be rsync'ed like the CentOS repositories.
