Dammit, how many times have I told you that ROT13 is *NOT* secure!
You have to double it to make it even marginally secure.
Here, let me help you out:
Just look at *how* other distributions want to have their repositories set up and follow that. Normally mirroring a complete repository should be enough. So you better ask that on a Ubuntu or Gentoo list
There. see how secure that is! No one will EVER suspect Ubuntu/Gentoo help on the CentOS list.
Sure, but my main OS is CentOS, and I want to know what I need to change on CentOS to allow other distro's repositories on to be hosted on it. Do I need to do anything special?
That totally depends on the mirrors you are hosting, how their metadata is generated, etc.
But the process to mirror them should just be to rsync some files into a web or ftp directory
