Hello World. I am very pleased to announce apt-offline, version 1.0.
This release, with it, adds a Graphical User Interace to apt-offline. Big thanks to Abhishek Mishra and Manish Sinha who did all the development work to make this GUI happen. Apart from the GUI, there are a bunch of bug fixes in this release. Some more details with screenshots can be seen at [4] What is apt-offline ? apt-offline is an Offline APT Package Manager . apt-offline can fully update and upgrade an APT based distribution without connecting to the network, all of it transparent to apt . apt-offline can be used to generate a signature on a machine (with no network).

This signature file can be used on another machine connected to the internet (which need not be a Debian box and can even be running windows) to download the updates. The downloaded data will contain all updates in a format understood by apt and this data can be used by apt-offline to update the non-networked machine. . apt-offline can also fetch bug reports and make them available offline apt-offline is available at [2] and the latest 1.0 release can be downloaded here [3] [1] http://git.debian.org/?p=apt-offline/apt-offline.git [2] https://alioth.debian.org/projects/apt-offline/ [3] https://alioth.debian.org/frs/?group_id=100399&release_id=1613 [4] http://www.researchut.com/blog/archive/2010/11/08/apt-offline-10 -- Ritesh Raj Sarraf RESEARCHUT - http://www.researchut.com "Necessity is the mother of invention."
