Despite being the debmirror maintainer I can also recommend reprepro. Reprepro does not actualy create a 1:1 mirror but creates a new archive fetching debs and sources from one or more upstream archives. What that means is that you won't have the debian signature on your local mirror but one created with a local key. Which, for private use, doesn't matter anywhere. The big advantage is that you can have more than one upstream repository to draw packages from. For example you can use normal debian etch and testing security as sources. Reprepro then combines them into a single local archive. That way you only need one archive and one entry in sources.list. With debmirror you have to make 2 mirrors and need two entries in sources.list. Reprepro can also maintain your localy compiled packages in the same archive as well. You can mix them in with the debian debs or keep them in a seperate suite, e.g. main contrib non-free for debian, local for local stuff. One drawback is that reprepro is not self-repairing like debmirror. If you have fs errors and something gets broken you might have to rebuild the database or otherwise fix something. With debmirror any changed or lost file will be repaired automatically and with -m you can check for corruption inside the files.

Re: Partial Local Repository
I'm puzzling about that too. If you need only one distro (say debian unstable A64), and only the most recent package version available. What's speaking against exporting a NTFS servers' /var/cache/apt/archives ? m°

It makes sense since debmirror will clean up obsolete packages. Just run it once per night/week/whatever ...

Partial Local Repository
Hello all, I am planning to create a partial local repository for AMD64 Etch but I don't know the best tool for this. I downloaded and tried the anonftpsync <http://www.debian.org/mirror/anonftpsync> but until now, it keeps on downloading files. Any other recommended tool to create a partial local repository? I don't want apt-proxy because it requires the local repository server to have an Internet connection. Does it make sense that I'm already downloading the packages for Etch even if it's not yet the stable version? I'm just preparing Etch because it will be the next stable version starting next month. Or shall I just wait until Etch has been finally released as stable? Please advise. Thank you. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
