Package: apt-move
Version: 4.2.27-1+b5
Severity: wishlist
I usually enter the following commands:
exec /bin/su -
aptitude update
apt-get update
apt-move get
apt-move move
apt-move delete
apt-move packages
apt-move sync
aptitude safe-upgrade
exit
I have aptitude version 0.4.11.11-1~lenny1
and apt version 0.7.20.2+lenny1
.
I would like the partial mirror made by apt-move to be signed by a
generally trusted key for example Debian's archive signing key.
When apt-move makes a partial mirror in /mirrors/debian/ it does not
put a digital signature for it.
A script file could be written, to copy the signatures and other
files from /var/lib/apt/lists/ to a virtual mirror, linked to the
mirror made by apt-move.
Thus a virtual partial mirror, signed for by the distro's key could
be formed.
Alas some files signed for would be absent form the partial mirror.
___
I use apt-move to maintain a mirror for my private use.
I sometimes copy it to CD-R to make it available to another of my
computers.
I might even lend it to somebody else.
The amount of software is so large that I cannot get it all (with
source code) onto one CD-R.
So I will have to use a USB memory stick.
If I use a USB memory stick, then it would be useful to have it
signed by the archive key used by my supplier (which happens to be
debian).
Without a signature, it would be difficult to detect an unreleased
file which got into the memory-stick by mistake.
Is there already a simple way of copying these files into a suitable
directory tree which can be referred to in the
file /etc/apt/sources.list in the recipient computer?
___
I have started writing a perl script file to copy the files
from /var/lib/apt/list/ to achieve this.
___
I attach a copy of my /etc/apt/sources.list file.
