Rally 0.4.94 (Default branch)
Rally is a software component with a user interface which allows you to install, update, and remove packages on RPM based operating systems. Primary functions (downloading software packages from network repositories and their installation) may be performed in parallel, giving a vast performance boost in many typical situations. The user interface is split into two independent parts: a graphical one and a command line utility. The graphical interface contains package searching and category browsing functions. Rally assumes the Fedora project as a reference platform. License: BSD License (revised) Changes:
A "timeout" parameter was added to specify the maximum waiting time for the downloader. Three situations were fixed which could lead to a crash in the GUI. CLI enhancements: the actualization command was implemented (install or update); the ability to enable and disable repositories was added; the (-I) modifier was added to disable the network scanning before generating a report. The "noenforce" parameter was added, which allows you to switch SELinux to the Permissive mode automatically. Various visual improvements were made in the GUI. Image

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.
