package: apt
severity: wishlist

Installing packages on machines with no internet connection currently is a pain. CDs are a partial soloution but only for official free packages and only for users of stable/testing not of unstable.

my proposal is to add a sneakernet source type. With this source type apt will give the user a list of files to retrive as a file, this list can then be transferred to a machine that does have net access (using removable media) and retrived by a simple program. The files can then be transferred back to the debian box (once again using removable media) where apt can then use them as if it had retrived them directly over the net.

As Marco already said, you can use apt-zip package, or at least 'apt-get
--print-uris'.

Closing this bug.
