Hi, since I've experienced some problems when I used `Packages' (.../binary/Packages) files which weren't in sync with the corresponding *.deb files and since I asked twice for a tool to create these Packages files from scratch and since I got no answer ... I made a first attempt to write this tool (and I'm sure, that I reinvented the wheel).
Now I can take my local collected *.deb files (same file system layout as on the ftp server), `cd /usr/DEBIAN/1.1; mk_packages -v' and all the `Packages' files are rebuilt. [ Of course, there are some bugs, but at least for me it worked and I didn't get annoying updates of already updated packages when I used dselect ... ] If there is some interest in this short perl script I could post it to this mailing list or whereever you want ;-) Heiko public pgp : finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] fingerprint: A1 7D F6 7B 69 73 48 35 E1 DE 21 A7 A8 9A 77 92
