I invoke reprepro from a C++ program to generate a local mirror of all the packages that a system contains, generated by dpkg-repack, if anybody is interested. Hugo I am very interested. How can I get more information? The process is basically 2 steps: (a) generate debs for all the packages on the system and (b) generate a local mirror of those. 1. Allocate a dir. e.g. /archive 2. In that dir. run: set COLUMNS=200 dpkg -l 11.packages which will generate 11.packages containing all that is installed. 3. Run 'do_recreate_archives 11.packages' in that dir: it will generate all the debs of the packages that are installed. Check the output: if a 'package is broken' you have to substitute that deb! 4. Now follow http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/286 in setting up a reprepro configuration file, e.g.: Origin: Debian Label: Local Repository Suite: unstable Codename: sid Version: 3.1 Architectures: i386 source Components: main contrib non-free Description: Local Repository 5. In the reprepro main dir. run 'do_reprepro_archives /archives/' and a local mirror will be generated that contains all the packages that are installed on the current system. This uses 2 programs that I wrote in C++ using Qt: 'do_recreate_archives' and 'do_reprepro_archives'. They should be compiled and placed where you can invoke them. If you tell me where to send them I can send them. Obviously this can be done also using any scripting language. I use Qt because I know it and have it installed.

how th generate like oficial site from packages (or CD's)
Hi, sorry to disturb you, may this is a trivial question but I haven't receive a validate answer!!! I want to create a local repository: I explain : I have downloaded Packages I need to the common student ( I am teacher in university), say the official CD1 and other packages from the site, So I have a list of about more thounsand soft. I want to create frome theses packages a local repository to : 1. Install the debian directly by using PXE ( PXE I know how to configure it), 2. I complete later the installation from my repository (I know how to do it). So The problem is : when the installer searches for the Releases, and gpg files it doesn't find them, because I haves to respect the arborescene of the official site. This what I don't know how to do it. How the create like an official site from my packages ? thanks for help best regards bela -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
