You may, as I did, want to set up a local repository if you have a very
large number of machines. I'll cut down on bandwidth use.
On my system, I keep the packages in a spool in the ftp area, and symlink
them into the web server root, which is basically just set up in a way
that makes apt happy. I use three scripts in /etc/cron.daily/ to keep
everything up to date.
BTW: Yes, that's my hostname in there. Yes, it's a publicly available
server. Please be nice to it. It's on the end of a rather well used
internet link and a lot of traffic will cause me to have to find a new
home for it... Freshrpms has a lot more bandwidth, I'm sure.
