I think also that we could remove apt-zip (I think we will > provide a wrapper between the old apt-zip interface and the new tools). > http://git.debian.org/?p=users/rrs-guest/apt-offline.git;a=summary At this location, I've currently put it up for review for the interface. I'd be glad if you could review and provide feedback on the current interface. My plan is that if we have consensus on the interface, we can go with the initial release. I've tried keeping the interface similar to apt-get/aptitude. So please, if you can review the interface (and assuming you have it complete), I'll start working on the docs and packaging. My goal is to have it part of the Squeeze release and for that I need your help. PS: ./apt-offline -h should be good enough to explain all the features.
