Stupid apt tricks?
Hi, I want to have apt-get to fetch from a single repository for a scripted update. in pseudo commands: apt-get -o=Apt:repository:file:///com/debian/dists/stable update apt-get -o=Apt:repository:file:///com/debian/dists/stable upgrade apt-get update # to reset things to a normal state I though I had this working at one point, but can't remember how. TIA, -Jon

Look at the setup I used to use: http://home.pages.de/~lufthans/unix/ See the link about security, testing and unstable updater for debian. They're just calling apt-get with options and alternative dirs in /var. ciao, der.hans -- # [EMAIL PROTECTED] home.pages.de/~lufthans/ www.DevelopOnline.com # Keine Ahnung, was ich dir sagen soll, # keine Ahnung und keinen (.)plan. -- die Toten Hosen

Is this supposed to be an executable, and if so where is the documentation on how to modify sources.list? Ron Steinke

Is this supposed :to be an executable, It's a .tgz file, you'd need to download and unpack it. It's an axample, not much in the way of documentation, though if you were me this is all you'd be looking for :) :and if so where is the documentation on how to modify :sources.list? man sources.list other interesting man pages: apt apt.conf apt-get and /usr/doc/apt -Jon
