When adding entire new areas of functionality, it would also be useful
if you could indicate whether the new packages are in (or a number of
them are in) a particular Section: of the Debian archive. I'll adapt
the script to look for this information as well.
Asterisk is in comm; dnsmasq is in net; ruby is in interpreters; libxmlrpc-c3 and libpcap0.8 are in libs. T
Please send me the raw dpkg output as an attachment.
Attached.

Description: server-side support for Emdebian Grip
 Provides server-side scripts to manage and update
 the conversion of Debian packages into 'gripped' packages
 that have no Debian documentation, manpages or infopages.

If you have a lot of packages to add, centred on a particular area of
functionality or maybe an internal set of packages, use
emdebian-grip-server to host your own repository and scripts like
multistrap to add that repository to your installed Grip machines from
the start. You don't have to support all packages or all architectures
in your own repository. The scripts will try and help you create a
reprepro setup that you can then tweak.
So that would actually be okay for my use; I have a (non-grip) machine with lots of disk which I installed em_autogrip on. The manpage says it uses unstable or testing; I wanted to grab packages from lenny, and got confused. A simple example of how to use it would be most welcome.

apt-grip is neat but my grip machine has insufficient disk to use it, alas.

The text of your email would do well on the website, too.

thanks!
