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.
