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.
