Facilitates rollback, similar to snapshot.debian.net.
It goes like this:
apt-get update
aptitude upgrade
/a/u <--- save everything
[a week goes by: uh-oh, fluxbox is broken in some wierd way]
dpkg -i /a/o/041201_080403/fluxbox_*.deb
[hmm...what are the last three times kcontrol changed?]
find /a/o -name 'kcontrol*' | sort | tail -n3
[oh crap, a whole bunch of KDE broke, I have to roll
a lot of it back to last months version, it's really broken;]
dpkg -i /a/o/041115/*.deb
[damn, my system is broken beyond belief, some X windows upgrade
had a bad dependency and I have no idea what state my machine
is in]
dpkg -i /a/l/*.deb
[what changes did I make the last time I ran an update?]
zdiff `ls /a/o/L*.gz | tail -n2 | head -n1` `ls /a/o/L*.gz | tail -n1 | head -n1`
[how about the time before that?]
zdiff `ls /a/o/L*.gz | tail -n3 | head -n1` `ls /a/o/L*.gz | tail -n2 | head -n1`
[when did libfoo7 first appear in the archives?]
zgrep -r libfoo7 /a/o/A*.gz | head -n1
It's just a basic transactional system with all that entails
