Bug#531699: ITP: apt-offline -- Offline APT Package Manager



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Ritesh Raj Sarraf <rrs@researchut.com>

* Package name    : apt-offline
  Version         : 0.8.0
  Upstream Author : Ritesh Raj Sarraf <rrs@researchut.com>
* URL             : http://pypt-offline.sf.net
* License         : GPL
  Programming Lang: Python
  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.
