Re: how to clone apt repository to newest only?

[이강우(KangWoo Lee) <coolseed@hotmail.com>]

The reason I'm asking for this feature is that

For example, I want to install the most recent packages when installing an OS in a specific closed network environment.

Of course, I could use a recently created DVD iso file, but I would need to have an internet connection to apply files that have been updated since this ISO was created, so I only want to copy and apply the most recent packages.

Is there any way to do this?

Hi

By default, apt will check the dates on the package manifests and bring you
up to date based on that.

If you install from nothing then the installer will do the same assuming
that you have an internet connection.

reposync is really a Red Hat ecosystem specific command, I think.
