There is currently debsnap and manually interacting with the API using curl/wget. > something like this https://github.com/dimr/debsnapshot-cli (work in > progress) This has a couple of features that are not in debsnap yet. BTW, some Python coding tips: Please do not use os.system. Instead use the subprocess module without using shell=True. Also don't use su as you have to pass it a shell script rather than a list of arguments. Instead use sudo. Don't hard-code things that are likely to change (DEBIAN_PORTS for example). > Apart from debsnap (devscripts package), i do not know any other tool that > interacts with this repo. > does something similar exist what i am not ware of? I am not aware of anything other than debsnap and what you wrote. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
