there doesn't appear to be support for more than one extra mirror, but it 
wouldn't be too terribly difficult to add another.

you can copy the /usr/share/simple-cdd/tools/mirror/reprepro to 
tools/mirror/reprepro to your working directory and edit it to add another 
mirror.

for the extra mirror you can adjust the components by setting:

  mirror_components_extra="all"

since you have to adjust tools/mirror/reprepro to account for multiple 
mirrors, you could just hard-code another entry in your reprepro configuration.


support for external repositories is definitely not simple-cdd's focus, so it
isn't the highest priority. most of the largest problems with simple-cdd come 
from people trying to use broken repositories or repositories with broken 
packages anyways.
