Thank you very much for your e-mail, It is useful to know that I must remove the ":" and whatever follows, from the end of the package name, so that it will be suitable input for reprepro FilterList. I have got my Makefile script file to work well enough to generate an image for a cdrom which seems to be acceptable to apt-cdrom, and to apt-get. However, when I run my script again, trying to use the cdrom as one of the sources, reprepro generates an error message and aborts. The text of the error messages is copied into the attached file called "make.op.txt" I have tried various variants of the update file, using: Method: cdrom:[...] Method: cdrom://[...] Method: cdrom:"[...]" I did not put "...", I put "Debian~Wheezy~in~part~as~at~2014-11-29+21:20:36". I prefer to have spaces in the name, but that seemed to cause trouble. I attach copies of various files which seem relevant. Please advise me of the correct format for the line in the file conf/updates, which starts: Method: cdrom:... I am attempting to write a make script file, to cause reprepro, to put onto cdrom, some of the packages which are installed in the computer which runs the script file. I have succeeded in using Method: file:/... in my update file. Thank you very much for maintaining reprepro. with best regards from Richard Betham
