hi again, well i have a more general question this time:
why should I care if the mirror is not completely correct (ie dependencies and all that)? why should the cd-guy care if dependencies are not correctly filled? i would like to create a set of cds that mirrors my mirror, then periodically create cd images that simply have new/changed packages. that way the clients can have a complete and uptodate mirror of the mirror (with extensions to apt getting from cds) with just 1 cd per week or two ... or even more often. i think i know how to do this (some scripts that do diffs between package files) however i want to pose it to you guys first. i believe this would be much more useful to developers (especially) as no packages are excluded. thanks, Paul
