Skylar> Does anyone have any tips/tools for managing custom apt Skylar> repositories? Here's the requirements I have:
Skylar> 1. Take a list of packages and fetch all those packages plus their Skylar> dependencies. I could download the entire mirror but that's a lot of Skylar> disk space I'd rather not dedicate to the task. Sounds like what you want here is the apt-cacher stuff. Point all your internal hosts at the cacher and let it fetch the .debs as needed and cache them locally. Skylar> 2. Maintain multiple architectures with one tool (currently i386 and Skylar> amd64, but potentially more in the future). Should be able to do this just fine. Skylar> 3. Add custom packages easily. Skylar> 4. Rebuild indices (e.g. Packages.gz and Sources.gz) automatically. This is where my apt-foo falls down. Sorry. Skylar> I've played around a bit with apt-move, but I haven't quite Skylar> figured out how to get it to work.
