APT 0.3.2 offline use
i just got APT 0.3.2. it is an excellent tool. i can't express how
grateful i am to the people that created this. :)
i have some comments to make about Jason Gunthorpe's offline 'sneakernet'
use of apt-get though. the instructions as distributed with the package
don't work for me. when you try to divert stdout to a file it doesn't
work because apt-get asks "Do you want to continue?". i tried just piping
the output of `yes` into the "apt-get --print-uris dist-upgrade" command
and this worked, although i had to modify the uris file by hand
afterwards.
perhaps modifying apt-get so it prints "Do youwant to continue" to
stderror might work, but i'm no expert programmer.
thanks again for this cool stuff.

PS if there's a more appropriate list for these sort of comments, please
tell me.
