Background:
We have a computer lab with two ubuntu 18.04 machines (and lots of
windows computers) and I am searching for a convenient way to keep the
machines up-to-date regarding R in the first place, but also ubuntu
itself. The problem is that the lab is isolated from the internet.
Some versions of ubuntu ago I had success with apt-mirror and apt-get
for the OS, but now I cannot get it to work. In my search for help on
the internet I have come to the conclusion that there is something
wrong
with apt-mirror nowadays.
Yours is a common use-case, but "I cannot get it to work" doesn't help
anyone understand what is broken. Since apt-cache is available as
an 18.04 package, you should report the bug to Ubuntu maintainers.
Thanks George. I asked for a simple way to keep R and packages
up-to-date, and I answered my own question about two hours ago: Just
download the bionic-cran35 files to an usb stick and move it to the lab.
apt-mirror and others are just red herrings.
Best, Göran
Question:
What is the best and simplest way to keep the ubuntu machines
up-to-date
regarding OS and R with the apt/apt-get approach? Alternatives to
apt-mirror?
Thanks, Göran
