Hi,
I have been installing a few Debin apackages of late on
my little home network and time after time I
have needed to install some package which gets pulled
down off the web.
Now, my proxy server is quite happily caching
these requests, thus the 2nd and so on installs
don't actually pull it down .. good. (until the cache
expires of course.)
But,. has anyone built there own local repository from packages
that they have installed, AND have it auto update.
I would like to have a repository of my own so that Each Debian box
can have a local apt-source and they look there first and
if it's not there, then get it from the other sources.
I have i386 and PowerPC so the reposiroty would need to have the
standard stuctures also.
Is there some neato features in apt to auto sync (or save the .deb
packages to a location after they have been installed.
What's a good read on this stuff ?
Anyone done it, or something similar ?
Obviously the /var/cache/apt/archives
is a nice place to be priming my 'cache' with
Thanks/.
