Re: build a CD from varous repositories
Hello vagrant, thank you very much for your attention! I have 2 virtualboxes (sid and lenny), where I perform the excercises. Simple-CCD doesn't work for sid, nor for lenny. And I have completely different errors that are documented. I'm not that used to shellscripting, so I startet with a little perlscript, that should build my partial mirror. That script already is able to fetch and scan Release- and Package-files and process a local packagelist. I started with the list, generated from debian-cd by make packagelists ..., but without trying to solve dependencies yet, I have packages, that could not be found at all - neither scanning for package-name, nor scanning for 'provides'. I think I miss a lot of understanding from package-organisation, so it seems not to be a solveable problem for me, create a custom cd. kind regards Geronimo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-cd-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: build a CD from varous repositories
Hello, I did some additional investigations, but did not understand the result. Is any you cracks willing to take a look at my script and shine me a light on what I'm missing? I would appreciate it a lot. Currently my (perl-)script only fetches Release-files and Package lists, no deb-files yet. Also it does not support any cmdline options yet. It creates a 'tmp' directory in the current directory, using that tmp-directory as target for the downloads. The repositories are taken from /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* Simple support exists for /etc/apt/preferences. It needs a packagelist as parameter. That packagelist should be in the current directory. I did the testing by: resolveList pkg.list 2 missing 2download The file 2download looks fine to me, but I don't understand the content of missing. kind regards Geronimo resolveList.tar.bz2 Description: application/tbz

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 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.
