Something like this should work, more or less:

1. Set RSYNC_ENABLE to true in /etc/default/rsync

2. Put this following in /etc/rsyncd.conf:

        pid file=/var/run/rsyncd.pid

        uid = nobody
        gid = nogroup
        list = yes
        read only = yes
        use chroot = yes # CHECK ME
        max connections = 4 # CHANGE ME

        [elpa]
            comment = GNU Elpa rsync mirror
            path = /var/www/pub # CHANGE ME
            refuse options = checksum dry-run
            dont compress = *.gz *.tgz *.zip *.z *.rpm *.deb *.iso *.bz2 *.tbz

This is a mix of rsyncd.conf's manpage and 
/usr/share/doc/rsync/examples/rsyncd.conf.  You'll need to make /var/www/pub 
(or whichever folder you pick) world-readable, and then to figure out how to 
atomically update its contents (I'll trust your shell-script-fu on that one :).
