cd-rom iso image with /etc/apt/sources.list, local repository
Is it possible to configure /etc/apt/sources.list to read a CD-ROM or
DVD ISO image in place of a physical CD-ROM? I am thinking in terms of
mounting the ISO image with the "loop" option of mount, as I do when
using jigdo-lite to update the image.
Actually, instead of updating a dozen or more CD-ROM images, I switched
over to DVD images, inasmuch as there are only three. I do not plan to
burn DVDs, but this does provide me a local copy of the Debian i386
"testing" repository with little effort.
I would prefer to switch from DVD images to a Debian i386 "testing"
repository within the LAN. Can a local repository be updated as easily
as CD-ROM and DVD images can be updated with jidgo-lite? Is there a
simple HOWTO for a single-architecture, single-distribution local
repository?
