I see that ben has a --mirror option. But will it work if the "mirror" is a local archive containing only Bioconductor packages? Or is there a way that I can express the concept that "this local archive should be seen as an additional layer on top of the official mirror", like a PPA or a backports suite?
The mirror option is used like in apt sources.list to select which host to download the Packages and Sources files from. As `ben download` uses this, you'll need to skip this step and provide the Packages and Sources files yourself.
`ben tracker` should work offline assuming the cache directory has the Packages files for all architectures and the Sources file.
