Hi, every now and then, people ask how to create a partial Debian GNU/Linux mirror for use with FAI. Unfortunately, debmirror doesn't handle dependencies, so it is a lot of work to maintain. apt-move does a better job in this respect, but if used outside of a chroot, there is the danger that maintaining the mirror interferes with the administration of the actual server. I wrote a small recipe (and three simple scripts) on using apt-move in a chroot. Please comment, thanks in advance!
