Hi, my to cents. I run this script:
lazaro@utopian:~$ cat /usr/local/bin/cache2repo.sh #!/bin/sh # clean the floor before aptitude autoclean # full copy all to the custom repo mkdir -p /usr/local/var/repo/ cp -uv /var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb /usr/local/var/repo/ # remake the Packages.gz cd /usr/local/var/ touch /usr/local/var/repo/Packages.gz rm /usr/local/var/repo/Packages.gz dpkg-scanpackages repo/ /dev/null | gzip > repo/Packages.gz # EOF Yo run the script in the computer where the cache is and it will make a repo based in the cache content and put it in the directory: /usr/local/var/repo/ Then in the computer that will use the custom repo, do this: echo "deb file:/usr/local/var/ repo/" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/custom.list aptitude update And there you have :D you own custom repo! You could modify the primary idea. Whatever you put en the directory then the script will make the package list. Feliz y próspero año nuevo...
