NAME

       debpartial-mirror -- debpartial-mirror is a program to generate partial Debian packages archives mirrors.

SYNOPSIS

       apt-get	[-hvs]	 [-o=config string]  [-c=file]	{update  | upgrade  | dselect-upgrade  | install pkg ...   | remove pkg ...   | source pkg
       ...   | build-dep pkg ...   | check  | clean  | autoclean }

DESCRIPTION

       debpartial-mirror is a command-line tool to generate partial Debian packages archives mirrors. It is designed to work  (in  particular)	in
       Custom Debian Distributions framework, as an aid to create customization of debian systems.

       Partial	mirrors  can be generated from different apt repositories (local created or remote ones) and can contain binary as well as sources
       packages.

       Generated partial mirrors have the structure of standard apt repositories: please referr to APT documentation for explanation about this.

       debpartial-mirror uses a configuration file to determine which packages, are to be downloaded and monitored to  generate  a  local  partial
       mirror. Packages can be specified by regular expressions, by list or by mirrors sections.

       Default configuration file is /etc/debpartial-mirror.conf.

       debpartial-mirror  accept  commands  in	the same way apt-get does, and unless the -h or --help is given, one of the commands below must be
       presented.

       update	 update update is used to resynchronize the package index files from specified sources.

       upgrade	 upgrade upgrade is used to dowload selected binary and source packages from specified mirrors. The first time this command is ran
		 the partial mirror is generated: after this, only newer or updated packages will be downloaded into the mirror.

       all	 all all is used to perform both update and upgrade commands.

NAME

       jigdo-mirror - Maintain a mirror of images offered with jigdo

SYNOPSIS

       jigdo-mirror [ config-file ]

DESCRIPTION

       See jigdo-file(1) for an introduction to Jigsaw Download.

       jigdo-mirror  is a script intended for people who want to offer direct HTTP or FTP downloads of files for which only the jigdo and template
       files are available.

       As the first step of using jigdo-mirror, you need to set up normal HTTP/FTP/rsync mirroring both of the `.jigdo'/`.template' files  and	of
       the  parts  that  are  needed  for the reconstruction of the images. For example, in the case that you want to mirror Debian CD images with
       jigdo-mirror, you need a mirror of the `.jigdo'/`.template' files and a Debian mirror on the local machine.

       At regular intervals (preferably immediately after the normal mirroring has finished), schedule a  run  of  jigdo-mirror.  It  will  search
       through a given directory for any `.jigdo' files and attempt to create all images offered by each file.

       The  script  requires  you  to  set a number of variables - please refer to the start of /usr/bin/jigdo-mirror for a description of each of
       them. Since /usr/bin/jigdo-mirror will be overwritten whenever you upgrade jigdo-mirror, it is highly recommended not to  change  the  set-
       tings  directly	in  this script. Instead, personal settings should be saved in a file called .jigdo-mirror in your home directory, or in a
       different file whose name is then passed to the script as its first (and only) command line argument.

AUTHOR

       Jigsaw Download <URL:http://atterer.net/jigdo/> was written by Richard Atterer <jigdo atterer.net>, to make downloading of  CD  ROM  images
       for the Debian Linux distribution more convenient.
