Here is another "http://www.problemlos.ch/~otti/debiansynch.gz";, it
synchronizes Debian distributions based on the Packages- and/or Sources
files. Just set up a local directory structure for all the Packages-
and/or Sources-files you want do be processed (i.e. make a "touch
dists/woody/main/binary-arm/Packages" for just the wood-main-arm
distribution). If you run the debiansynch script without any parameter
you get a small help.
If you have only a slow modem line, make sure you limit the packages
count with the "include only" option "-I=includefile". Also make first
an off-line run (no server option) with the outfile option "-o=outfile"
if you already have some packages downloaded. This outfile could be used
as your new inlcudefile to further limit your synchronizing. Just be
careful I haven't tested this feature very well.
