Dear Debian Users, I'm pleased to announce apt-offline version 0.9.4. Release Highlights * Finished up most packaging work for Debian * Fixed a bug in offline bug report handling when using a folder as the install argument 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. apt-offline is available at [1] and the latest 0.9.4 release can be downloaded here [2] [1] https://alioth.debian.org/projects/apt-offline/ [2] https://alioth.debian.org/frs/?group_id=100399&release_id=1420 PS: apt-offline is currently in the NEW queue and will soon be part of Debian.
