DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the metalink command.

       This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

       metalink allows you to generate metalinks from a list of mirrors and a collection of files. The files are hashed and the resulting metalink
       is generated on the stdout.

       These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with  two  dashes  (`-').   A  summary  of  options	is
       included below.

		 Produce a help message

		 --version
		 Print out the name and version.

		 --md5

		 --addpath path
		 Append a path to the mirrors ('/' is not checked)

		 --headerfile arg

		 --nomirrors
		 Don't read mirrors from stdin

		 --hashlist
		 List hashes only (implies nomirrors)

		 --desc arg

		 -d arg
		 Include given digest

		 --mindigests

		 --somedigests
		 Include: md5 sha1 ed2k

		 --alldigests

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.
