DESCRIPTION¶
debpartial-mirror is a command-line tool to generate partial Debian
packages archives mirrors. It is designed to work (in particular) in Custom
Debian Distributions framework, as an aid to create customization of debian
systems.
Partial mirrors can be generated from different apt repositories (local created
or remote ones) and can contain binary as well as sources packages.
Generated partial mirrors have the structure of standard apt repositories:
please referr to APT documentation for explanation about this.
debpartial-mirror uses a configuration file to determine which packages,
are to be downloaded and monitored to generate a local partial mirror.
Packages can be specified by regular expressions, by list or by mirrors
sections.
Default configuration file is
/etc/debpartial-mirror.conf.
debpartial-mirror accept commands in the same way apt-get does, and
unless the

be presented.
- update
- update update is used to resynchronize the package index files from
specified sources.
- upgrade

packages from specified mirrors. The first time this command is ran the
partial mirror is generated: after this, only newer or updated packages
will be downloaded into the mirror.
