I currently know to some degree, and use, debmirror. I admin/help-desk for quite a few people in a rural area - the PCs I admin are typically only connected to the Internet via high-latency, low-bandwidth internet connections.
So, I run a debian mirror from a particular host which has a high-bandwidth internet connection. I then sync against this mirror every {random period of time, sometimes a day, sometimes a week or more} and then use that sync'ed mirror to update the various other PCs I admin. Does it make sense, that when I connect my sync'ed USB drive to a computer I am updating, that an apt-get update would also update from a local debian-security mirror? I could create a mirror from, eg, mirror.aarnet.edu.au (I'm in Australia, and our ISP peers its free zone with aarnet). I just began this process now, but stopped it when I realized that there may be overlap between the debian-security package pool, and the normal debian stable/testing pools. Thus my question: Is it possible to use debmirror, to mirror stable,testing,sid as well as debian-security for stable and testing, and have them all share the same package pool? I can't see it, and I'm hoping I am simply not understanding something. If I would have to go to a more advanced setup with some other debian tool, I am willing, but that would take some time (namely finding the time, so would not be immediately).
