Try debmirror then - it parses the Packages and Sources files to just get the bits you want, rather than all of the pool structure. On my laptop I want to keep woody and sarge for i386 only, which I do using the following wrapper script: ====================================================================== #!/bin/sh OPTS="--nosource --method=ftp" DISTS="sarge,woody" debmirror /home/mirror/debian $OPTS --dist=$DISTS \ --root=debian -h mirror --ignore=non-US/ debmirror /home/mirror/debian/non-US $OPTS --dist=sarge/non-US,woody/non-US \ --root=debian/non-US -h mirror debmirror /home/mirror/debian-security $OPTS --dist=$DISTS \ --section=updates/main,updates/contrib,updates/non-free \ --root=debian-security -h mirror ====================================================================== -- Steve McIntyre, Plasmon [EMAIL PROTECTED] Also available from [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Can't keep my eyes from the circling sky, "Tongue-tied & twisted, Just an earth-bound misfit, I..." -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
