Hello List! I've setup my apt-get repository the way I like it. Now my other goal is to include my custom Debian packages in my apt-get repository.
The way I understand dpkg-scanpackages, is that packages listed in the Packages.gz file are available via apt-get install. The trouble I'm running into is trying to figure out the right method of registering custom packages in my repository, I've tried the following. # cd /var/cache/apt/archives # ll foo-bar.deb # dpkg-scanpackages . /dev/null | gzip -9c >> /local/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz When I check the Packages file, foo-bar.deb is included. Then when I try to move the foo-bar.deb package, I use the following command. # apt-move move This works when packages are sync'ed with http://ftp.us.debian.org stable main, but custom packages still get skipped. # Moving files... # Skipping files: # $/var/cache/apt/archives/foo-bar.deb # Moving files: Any help with this, I would be very grateful! ~~Rick King Apt-get Repository: /local/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-i386 /Packages.gz /admin /alien /base /comm /devel /doc /editors /electronics /games /graphics /hamradio /interpreters /libdevel /libs /mail /math /misc /net /news /non-free /nonfree /oldlibs /otherosfs /science /shells /sound /tex /text /utils /web /x11 -- Rick King Unix Messaging Team, Boise ID
