Description : daemon for updating Debian packages in a repository
This program implements a miniataure version of the "dinstall"
program which installs packages in the Debian archive. It doesn't
require a postgresql database, and is very easy to set up, maintain,
and use. mini-dinstall can be run via cron, or as a daemon.
.
This package is expressly designed for personal apt repositories, and
the like. In this vein, it contains fewer sanity checks; for
example, it will happily install a lower version of a package. You
can also generally just 'rm' files from the repository, and
mini-dinstall won't care.
