Hi all,
I'd like to mirror all the packages installed in a production server with the
same versions. The idea is to have a enviroment test the upgrades before apply
those upgrades to the real production server. What is the best way to do this?
Thank you very much
You can do something like this:
on the current machine:
sudo dpkg --get-selections > server.selections
then copy the server.selections file to your test machine and run:
sudo apt-get update
sudo dpkg --set-selections < server.selections
sudo apt-get dselect-upgrde
That will install all packages that are on your current server on your
test server.
