Try 'debmirror' (or one of the similar packages).

Re: build a CD from varous repositories
Hello and thank you for your support. > Try 'debmirror' (or one of the similar packages). I already used your script (mirror-sync) which wrappes debmirror. The point is, that (from my understanding) debmirror only works with blacklists (--exclude). ... and so far, I don't know, what I should exclude. I wrote a tasklist which after "make packagelists ..." results in a file called "list". I would like to use that file to create my local partial mirror - cause I'm only interested in that packages plus their dependencies - no matter how many CD-images I'll have to create. I tried to use apt-get with --download-only, but it knows nothing about udebs. Imagine that I like to add virtualbox from http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian on my CD. I don't know, how many files the repository of virtualbox.org contains - and I don't like to care about. I only know, that I want to add virtualbox with all its dependencies. My sources.list includes all repositories necessary - so an apt-get install works. virtualbox is only one package from an non-debian repository. I have various packages from several other repositories. Can the apt-get environment be used to create a local mirror that is usable to build a CD(-set)? Or can I combine various tools to solve that? I don't fear about writing scripts - the point is, I don't know, how I could solve the problem. kind regards Geronimo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-cd-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

That's why I added the second link. See my last post there. It has some examples of what could be excluded. > I would like to use that file to create my local partial mirror - cause > I'm only interested in that packages plus their dependencies - no matter > how many CD-images I'll have to create. That's very extreme... I don't think you could still call that a useful mirror. Debmirror is not the tool for that. Don't know of any alternatives. > Can the apt-get environment be used to create a local mirror that is > usable to build a CD(-set)? Or can I combine various tools to solve > that?
