I'm looking to set up a local debian archive which largely ignores the offical site. apt-move looked promising, but it's too concerned with mirroring.
I want to have a directory on a fileserver that I can just throw debs into and have them (in an apt-move like fashion) turned into a usable archive for other machines on the network. Even if they're obsolete or from a non-debian source. And preferably without concern for whether they're stable, unstable, testing, frozen, potato, slink, woody, bo, sid, hamm, main, contrib, non-free, non-US, or none of the above. I'm not even really that concerned with maintaining the official archive's organizational scheme; this archive will only be running around 300 packages instead of 4000 and pretty much every one of them will be installed on every machine in the company. The primary area of variation will be that some machines run X and others don't. Does any tool currently exist that will create an archive of this sort for me? If not, where can I find documentation on setting it up manually? -- That's not gibberish...
