This old topic again... I'm not really interested in creating a local hierarchy and maintaining another set of sources on my machines, but I would like a system where when a I do a dist-upgrade that before fetching the remote package it first checks another source for the .deb. In other words for a given foo.deb file before fetching from, say, http://http.us.debian.org (or any source), it first tries http://mylocalmachine/some/path/foo.deb where the prefix "http://mylocalmachine/some/path/"; is used for every package.
BTW -- IIRC, someone posted a way to trim /var/cache/apt/archives to the most current one (or two) versions and purge the rest. Anyone remember that? -- Bill Moseley [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
