Subject: "Offline-queue" access method for apt
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
X-Mailer: Mutt 0.93.1

Package: apt
Version: 0.3.0
Severity: wishlist

It would be nice if apt had a special method for offline use.
It should spool all requests for new packages into a file
that could be taken to an other machine with a good internet 
connection by removable media. 
On this machine there should be a script or a program (perhaps
even for Win32) that downloads all requested packages and
stores them back on the removable media.
Now, back on the first PC, all packages can be installed.

A less preferred possibility would be an apt-get command line
used in conjuction with -s for printing the complete URLs for 
packages to download that can be piped into a file and 
processed with wget myself.

This methods would be a great help for users with a slow and
expensive net internet connection or no net connection at all.

Thanks, 

Florian Laws
