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.
