Thanks all for the replies. I checked out apt-zip, apt-offline, aptoncd, CDD and apt-clone. None of them really suited my needs, as I want to generate this repository automatically, and want to do a whole class of target systems which will have a baseline set of packages installed. Anyway I've found it's pretty easy to roll my own using python-apt and configuring apt to use alternate locations for the cache, dpkg status file etc. I feed in the dpkg status file from my baseline install, a sources.list and a list of packages I want to be installable, and I can easily download the files. Then use apt-ftparchive to generate the metadata and I'm done. thanks, Hamish -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
