Dear Debian Users, I'm pleased to announce the new and first release for apt-offline, at version 0.9.0. (apt-offline was previously named pypt-offline) apt-offline is an Offline APT Package Manager for APT based systems, i.e. mostly Debian and Debian derived distributions. apt-offline can fully update/upgrade your disconnected Debian box without the need of connecting it to the network. * It works by generating a signature of the disconnected box. * You carry the signature to a net connected box running anything (Windows/Linux/Mac) * apt-offline downloads all data as per the signature. This includes apt database, packages, bug reports. The data can be bundled to a single file to carry it easily on a USB stick * The bundle file is all that is needed on the disconnected Debian box. Apt on this box will feel like everything was downloaded the traditional (apt-get update/upgrade) way. While I'm working toward getting it packaged and included into Debian, I am looking for users who could test and provide feedback. I'm more keen on feedback on the interface and options/arguments you'd like to see. apt-offline is currently being tailored at [1] and the 0.9.0 release is available for testing at [2] [1] http://git.debian.org/?p=users/rrs-guest/apt-offline.git;a=summary [2] http://git.debian.org/?p=users/rrs-guest/apt- offline.git;a=snapshot;h=03d8e4d628ce2eaa859d371f95f11ad56bb434b7;sf=tgz PS: If possible, please CC me when replying. I'm not religiously following the d-u list. Regards, Ritesh -- Ritesh Raj Sarraf RESEARCHUT - http://www.researchut.com "Necessity is the mother of invention."
