Hi, After quite some time, I'm happy to announce a new release of pypt-offline. Some of the quick features are: * Offline Bug Report support - Users can now also have information about what packages contain bug reports. [Debian Only] * Colored Output - Full colored output. [ Support on Windows is through WConio] * Better support for threads * Many new options added I've now started using Mercurial along with SF's SVN which can be viewed at [1] and [2] I've also put up a video at [3] explaining how pypt-offline works. pypt-offline can be downloaded from: http://sf.net/projects/pypt-offline What is pypt-offline? pypt-offline is an Offline Package Manager for distributions based on Debian. It can allow a user using a Debian distribution with no internet connection to be able to update/upgrade his box with the help of another box running Windows/Linux/Mac A recent article from Ars [4] was informative enough to show how many countries still don't have [or is very expensive] a proper internet connection. I hope pypt-offline will be helpful to people who are willing to enjoy the powerful features of Debian but aren't yet able to do so because of internet connectivity. Feedback welcome.
