It is intended as a tool to help manage the apt-get(8) file cache, but could be configured to work with any collection of Debian packages. . Running apt-move periodically will assist in managing the resulting partial mirror by optionally removing obsolete packages, and creating valid local Packages.gz files. It can also optionally employ rsync(1) to build a partial or complete local mirror of a Debian binary distribution (including an ``installed-packages only'' mirror). installed-size: 160 -- Chad "^chewie" Walstrom <chewie at wookimus.net> http://wookimus.net/chewie -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
