Description : Offline APT Package Manager
apt-offline is a utility for people using Debian (and distros
based on Debian) on a machine with no network connectivity.
It helps in downloading the required Package Management data
from another networked Windows/Linux/Mac box.
Some of the features of apt-offline are:
- Fetch the list of package updates
- Generate the list of packages to be upgraded
- Offline Bug Reports (Currently only Debian BTS)
- Multiple download threads
- apt cache check
- Multiple Platform Support
Dear DDs,
The original name referred in the upstream link is pypt-offline.
Since Debian currently doesn't have a package named apt-offline, I'd
like to take over this name for the utility I've developed, if there is
no objection.
