Fairly simple. You certainly don't need the complexity of the emdebian-grip-server package but there is some scripting probably needed. It depends how many packages you want to have and how often you want to update packages in your repository against those in Grip. The core of the process is: $ emgrip --vendor emdebian-baked $package Using --vendor retrieves the "usebaked" for you, or you can specify it yourself: $ DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="usebaked" emgrip $package emgrip puts the rebuilt package into /tmp unless told otherwise (see emgrip (1)). emgrip also works with a .dsc so that your repository can have the source packages too - you'll need that if your repo is "publicly visible". >From there, it's a case of including the rebuilt packages into a repository like reprepro. emdebian-grip-server tries to create a default repository but it turns out to be an all-or-nothing approach where unless the scripts make all the assumptions for you, nothing works without manual editing of files in conf/. Thing is, I'm not sure how much Emdebian can assume as defaults for Baked. Neither is there any real way of adding the Baked processing to the Grip processing on the current server until the Grip code can improve the processing speed by some 500%. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/ http://e-mail.is-not-s.ms/
