Bug#811475: apt-offline: won't work with deb copy: -lines

2016-01-19 Thread Ilari Halminen
Package: apt-offline
Version: 1.5
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Could you consider that apt-offline skips
deb copy: -lines in /etc/apt/source.list files?
Those are like
deb file: and are for copy debs from local computer and so
useless for that purpose. Now those files go in the signature file
 generated on a machine.

Of course. It only supports repository types http and ftp.

If you have your debs available locally, then why do you need apt-
offline in the first place ?

I don't know what you mean here. If your intent is to reuse those
locally available debs, please read the manual. It does have an option
for that, --cache-dir
