I guess that still needs to be added to the documentation.

I haven't yet used the cdrom method with reprepro, so I am a bit of a loss what the correct syntax is. Adding enough verbosity (I think you need several -V to get to those details) you can see what reprepro gives the apt cdrom method. I don't knwow that format the apt method expects exactly, but doc/method.dbk in apt source package lists some example URLs: file:/var/mirrors/debian/ ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian ftp://jgg:MooCow@localhost:21/debian nfs://bigred/var/mirrors/debian rsync://debian.midco.net/debian cdrom:Debian 2.0r1 Disk 1/ so I guess it might be a single colon without any other additions (though I do not know how current that example is). Perhaps it is easier to just mount the .iso files somewhere and just use the file:/ method. Bernhard R.
