how to setup your local deb mirror?
Hi !
I'm still running on Mandrake :-)
I want to setup my local deb mirror. For this, I set up so far s
debootstrap-based sarge in a User-Mode-Linux environment. I used this to
make my own metapackages, which simply pull in other packages or do the
right cfengine magick.
I put all of the needed *.deb files into a local Debian repository using
apt-move. I like the fact that I can use this tool to keep the most current
debs in my mirror, e.g. that it automatically deletes outdated debs.
Now the PXE-boot doesn't have the *.udebs into them, so I have to
incorporate them, too. There is a web page that tells my how to use
apt-ftpachive to get an index of the *.udeb files and I succeeded in this.
* apt-ftparchive reads in *.udeb files
* apt-move deletes outdated deb file
* method XYZ does both
So, what is method XYZ?
AFAIK I can't just have a /var/www/html/debian with the apt-move tree and
/var/www/html/local with the the udeb tree, because the debian-installer
wants to fetch the stuff from one archive.
