.SH "DESCRIPTION" 
.PP 
\fBdebpartial-mirror\fR 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. 
 
\fBdebpartial-mirror\fR 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 \fB/etc/debpartial-mirror.conf\fP. 
 
\fBdebpartial-mirror\fR accept commands in the same way 
apt-get does, and unless the \fB-h\fR or 
\fB\-\-help\fR is given, one of the commands below must 
be presented.   
 
 
.IP "update" 10 
\fBupdate\fP update is used to resynchronize the package index 
files from specified sources. 
 
.IP "upgrade" 10

source packages from specified mirrors. The first time this command 
is ran the partial mirror is generated: after this, only newer or
