Re: OT - Debian mirror from CDs ...
You're on the right track, dpkg-scanpackages isnt what you want to do.
Theres a tool that comes with apt-proxy which is apt-proxy-import. Copy
all your .deb's into your respository and run apt-proxy-import.
man apt-proxy-import
NAME
apt-proxy-import - A script for importing packages into the
apt-proxy cache.
