Package: apt Version: 0.3.0 Severity: wishlist It would be nice if apt had a special method for offline use. It should spool all requests for new packages into a file that could be taken to an other machine with a good internet connection by removable media. On this machine there should be a script or a program (perhaps even for Win32) that downloads all requested packages and stores them back on the removable media. Now, back on the first PC, all packages can be installed.
A less preferred possibility would be an apt-get command line used in conjuction with -s for printing the complete URLs for packages to download that can be piped into a file and processed with wget myself. This methods would be a great help for users with a slow and expensive net internet connection or no net connection at all. Thanks, Florian Laws
