  Description     : daemon for updating Debian packages in a repository

 This program implements a miniataure version of the "dinstall"
 program which installs packages in the Debian archive.  It doesn't
 require a postgresql database, and is very easy to set up, maintain,
 and use.  mini-dinstall can be run via cron, or as a daemon.
 .
 This package is expressly designed for personal apt repositories, and
 the like.  In this vein, it contains fewer sanity checks; for
 example, it will happily install a lower version of a package.  You
 can also generally just 'rm' files from the repository, and
 mini-dinstall won't care.
