I am about to finish some kind of (very) primitive apt-get clone. Now i am able to install new packages quite easy (no more downloading via http, scp to firewall, copying to my harddisk, ...). The only thing i am still missing is, that after installing all the packages (about 35 on my firewall) i would like to generate the LRP line in leaf.cfg... just my lazyness... > Anyway, if this is useful enough to someone they want to code it, I'll help > if there are any questions about details.
