Hi all!

        Is there any way to transfer repository updates to system not connected
to internet ?
        I need to keep up to date repository in my system, but I can transfer
updates only with CD-R/DVD-R.

If you know a little bit perl you can modify debmirror for this (or
file a wishlist bug). Instead of downloading make it print what it
wants to download into a script and then wget/curl those files where
you do have access.

Alternatively you could modify reprepro.

Both would work best if you have a little internet access to at least
update the Packages.gz files. Otherwise you will allways need 2 round
trips, one for Packages.gz, the other for debs.


If you only want to update a system there is also apt-zip. You can
probably run apt-zip on multiple systems and combine the output too.
