I _think_ you would do this most efficiently using apt-move. Package: apt-move Priority: optional Section: admin Installed-Size: 160 Maintainer: Herbert Xu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Architecture: i386 Version: 4.1.19 Depends: awk, bc (>= 1.05a-6), dpkg-dev (>= 1.4.1.6), debianutils (>= 1.13.1), l ibapt-pkg-libc6.2-3-2-3.2, libc6 (>= 2.2.4-4), libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 (>= 1:2.95 .4-0.010810) Recommends: apt Filename: pool/main/a/apt-move/apt-move_4.1.19_i386.deb Size: 38014 MD5sum: 9a7021a875dfc8f48d5a0d2c4cc368bd Description: Move cache of Debian packages into a mirror hierarchy apt-move is used to move a collection of Debian package files into a proper archive hierarchy of the form debian/dists/... It is intended as a tool to help manage the apt-get(8) file cache, but could be configured to work with any collection of Debian packages. . Running apt-move periodically will assist in managing the resulting partial mirror by optionally removing obsolete packages, and creating valid local Packages.gz files. It can also optionally employ rsync(1) to build a partial or complete local mirror of a Debian binary distribution (including an ``installed-packages only'' mirror). You'll also want to check out apt-proxy, if only because it's really neat. http://apt-proxy.sourceforge.net/ And: http://ironsides.terrabox.com/~ahzz/apt-www-proxy/ Sorry to be vague on the subject: I've never tried it, personally. -- Cheers, Higgledy-Piggledy / Kibo Ubiquitous, Rick Moen Greps for his name in the / Happynet spool.
