A bit of googling lead me to this page that describes how to create a signed local repository. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?s=7cfc0f038cfe90434538e2fe367b0c65&t=1090731
This page has an explanation of how to create a local repository that is NOT signed but explains step-by-step what the commands are doing. About mid way down in the comments, there are a couple of scripts that readers have submitted that may be what you are looking for... http://odzangba.wordpress.com/2006/10/13/how-to-build-local-apt-repositories/ Hope this helps. I may have to do this myself, just to speed up the updates on my machines... - Jason On Wed, Nov 7, 2012 at 12:48 PM, Jason Barnett <[email protected]>wrote: > I know it's not the "proper" way to do it, but if you just want to get the > job done and figure out a better way later, just copy all the packages to > the root of the USB then mount it as /var/cache/apt/archives and you should > be good to go. > > Of course, I am sure someone knows a better way, but sometimes the fastest > way is all that is needed. > > - Jason > > > On Wed, Nov 7, 2012 at 8:49 AM, Richard Owlett <[email protected]>wrote: > >> I've just read read the manpage of debmirror.
