Re: build a CD from varous repositories
Hello and thank you for your support.
> Try 'debmirror' (or one of the similar packages).
I already used your script (mirror-sync) which wrappes debmirror.
The point is, that (from my understanding) debmirror only works with
blacklists (--exclude).
... and so far, I don't know, what I should exclude.
I wrote a tasklist which after "make packagelists ..." results in a file
called "list".
I would like to use that file to create my local partial mirror - cause I'm
only interested in that packages plus their dependencies - no matter how many
CD-images I'll have to create.
I tried to use apt-get with --download-only, but it knows nothing about udebs.
Imagine that I like to add virtualbox from
http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian on my CD. I don't know, how
many files the repository of virtualbox.org contains - and I don't like to
care about. I only know, that I want to add virtualbox with all its
dependencies. My sources.list includes all repositories necessary - so an
apt-get install works.
virtualbox is only one package from an non-debian repository. I have various
packages from several other repositories.
Can the apt-get environment be used to create a local mirror that is usable to
build a CD(-set)? Or can I combine various tools to solve that?
I don't fear about writing scripts - the point is, I don't know, how I could
solve the problem.
kind regards
Geronimo
