-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 = debpartial-mirror 0.2.90 ready for testing =
We're glad to announce an improved version of debpartial-mirror. It comes with a lot of new (amazing) features and it is easier to use. This release is based on the python-cdd library[1], which is an important development for the Custom Debian Distribuition project[2]. The current version is almost ready for production use (some users already use it) but we still need more testing, reviews and suggestions. Translation contribuitions are (of course) welcome too! A gtk-based UI is also in early developement: suggestions, comments and requests would be very helpful to us in this stage. Latest development releases can be found at O.S. Systems SVN[3] repository. Major improvements of this version: * It is possible to act on single or selected mirrors. * Command interface resembles apt/aptitude; this should make users * familiar with debpartial-mirror usage. * Could merge many mirrors in a new one doing dependency resolution; * this should make it easier for CDDs to create custom repositories. '''About debpartial-mirror:''' Departial-mirror is a tool that easily creates partial mirrors of apt-style repositories. With this tool it is possible to create custom apt-style archives, merging different parts from multiple repositories. - From each repository (remote or local) it is possible to specify which part of the mirror should be mirrored, by specifying packages sections, a list of packages, or even files and directories matching regular expressions. '''About Custom Debian Distribution (CDD) Project [4]:''' The CDD project is an effort that aims to develop a set of tools and specifications to create a solution for ''special groups of target users with different skills and interests.'' A CDD not only provides handy collections of specific software, but also eases installation and configuration for the intended purposes. To clarify a common misunderstanding: Custom Debian Distributions are not forks from Debian. They are completely included, and if you obtain the complete Debian GNU/Linux distribution, you have all available Custom Debian Distributions included.
