How to apt-move?
Hello,
I am a very new apt-mover who hopes someone can help me apt-move.
I have 2.2r3 on which i have apt-get installed a package from testing (it
works).
The package, and all its dependencies are now in the apt archive on my
computer.
I wish to move this set of packages into a correct Debian installation
directory structure and create correct Packages.gz and stuff.
Ultimately I want to burn this directory structure on a CD which I can then
use to install from on other computers.
People tell me that apt-move is the tool to use.
So I try to apt-move, but I fail, and I do not understand why.
Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong and what I need to do to get on
with it?
This is what happens when I run apt-move:
mycomp:~# apt-move getlocal move packages
