Hi,
Suppose there exists large-company.com and
branch1.large-company.com. Both are producing "local packages"
which may conflict with each others.
Question:
Is it OK to use /opt/com/large-company/ and
/opt/com/large-company/branch1/ for local packages?
Or should /usr/local/com/lar

Hello, all!!!
I have big collection of self-made packages, which I would like to
distribute through my network via usual apt-get methods while allowing
them to update from Debian sites. Connection is only by http,

archives of debian-deve
After today's woody update there are many packages shown in dselect as
obsolete/local. The Packages file was much smaller than the previous
version. What's up?

Hi
I want to install debian 1.3.1r6 on several machines via NFS.
Is there a way to offer all packages to dselect when non-US packages and

I tried the kernel-package_3.03.deb for the first time.
I put the deb file in "local/binary-i386" and ran dpkg-scanpackages
