Package: python-apt Version: 0.7.100.2 Severity: wishlist Hi,
I'm currently working on a python-apt based variant of fai-mirror, which uses python-apt to resolve dependencies for the packages and download them. Currently the only way to NOT install packages and download them only is to use an internal function _fetch_archives for example like this: fetch_progress = apt.progress.text.AcquireProgress() depcache = self.cache._depcache pm = apt_pkg.PackageManager(depcache) fetcher = apt_pkg.Acquire(fetch_progress) self.cache._fetch_archives(fetcher, pm) Its obvious that this is quiet unfortunate. Therefore it would be nice, if python-apt supported a method which allows fetching packages only.
