*-* How to make dselect use local mirror for testing frozen?
Hi,
On my home lan I have a couple of machines that I am currently using to
test the new frozen distribution on.
Because I don't want to have to download all the packages that I want to
test each time I try a new machine or method, I have made a little mirror
of part of the distribution.
It has some frozen/binary, contrib, non-free and non-US packages. I made
a tree structure like on ftp.debian.org and put in some symlinks and the
Packages files.
Dselect does most things I expected; when I point it at /debian, it finds
the all packages files and I can choose from frozen, contrib, non-free
and non-US (which I linked local.)
But at the point where it should install the selected packages, dselect
only iterates through stable/binary and never installs anything from
contrib or non-free.
I know it should do that, because it does so on my 1.1.4 cd (never tried
it "live" over the internet.)
Can anyone give me some clue please? Thanks.
Cheers,
Joost
