I feel like there ought be a tool for this, but I don't know it. > 4. Rebuild indices (e.g. Packages.gz and Sources.gz) automatically. There are several tools to build apt repositories. I'm using reprepro which is designed for much larger things, it's a little weird, but it works. My normal use is to maintain a set of directories of local packages, and then run reprepro over them to generate a proper repository. It supports gpg signing and ought be able to get hooked to inotify if you want something pretty automatic. I can dig up my notes, but you'd probably do better finding the online examples. seph _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
