Hello Everybody,

As you might have noticed from my posts on this mailing list, I have been trying to have a set of packages that I want to use that are free of anything related to systemd. That involves cherry-picking packages from multiple repositories including the local unsigned ones that I re-compiled after "cleaning them up".

For my VPS' or servers with minimal install, that is easily achievable by setting the preferences according to the version, origin, release, etc. But for desktops, it looks to me that it is harder to manage and maintain them, even there are only 4 desktops in my household. So I am thinking to have my own package management application.

I have just been reading https://wiki.debian.org/HowToSetupADebianRepository, and it looks like Aptly (http://www.aptly.info/doc/overview/) is easier to handle. Does anybody use it? If so, would you care to share your experience in term of its advantages and disadvantages?

Thanks in advance for your comments.

Cheers,

Anto
