Debian update CDs
How can I create an CD image which I can use as additional (update) CD
in a Debian CD set ?
( the new and updated packages can be recognized y comparing the
newest official Package files and my dpkg status file)
My Idea is to generate once in 3 month one CD which contains the updates
only. (maybe one for the "stable" tree and one for the "unstable" tree.)
My special problem: I have to create these CDs using a linux system,
which is not a Debian system. (so I need to install all special debian
(and probably recent) stuff myself at non standard locations)
I found the following 3 packages, which do all parts of it or
somehow related things but it is not clear to me whether they can be
combined to do what I want.
I detail:
1) /usr/share/doc/apt/offline.text.gz (guide for offline update)
the recipe described there
fetches only updates for installed packages and stores all
*.deb files in one directory.
2) package apt-move
|-(from its doc)-------------------------------------------------------
| It can also optionally employ rsync(1)
| to build a partial or complete local mirror of a Debian binary
| distribution (including an ``installed-packages only'' mirror)
|----------------------------------------------------------------------
could be used together with the procedure of 1) (also standalone ?)
to generate a partial mirror on a debian device.
The exclude list for rsync should be generated by a script.
Its not clear to me whether this will work ?
3) package debian-cd
to generate Debian CDs from a writable debian mirror
Will this work with partial mirrors ?
Can the partial mirror be a symlink farm to a real mounted but
non writable full debian mirror ?
Will apt-cdrom work correctly with such an update CD ?
The packages 2) and 3) require lots of other stuff.
This isn't convenient/easy to install on a non Debian System
as normal user.
yours
