Re: Mirroring the easy way and the .udebs - howto?

Hi folks,

i'm looking for the best solution to create a tiny local mirror to
serve only the i386 arch and the corresponding .udebs for my clients
using the 8MB netboot pxe image.

apt-mirror is not able to mirror also the required .udeb files.
ftpsync is ways to big and i dont see a way to just mirror a small
bunch of required packages. Running it the first time with an
appropriate --exclude statement ends up in an archiv with close to
70GB of data in pool :/

What's best? I dont want to mess around with unhandy scripts and
stuff. To be honest i dont think that i'm the only one who is trying
to achieve such a setup.

Would a caching proxy maybe work just as well and be easier to maintain?
