Apt-Mirror is a tool for Debian GNU/Linux that enables users to selectively mirror parts of the distribution.
Possible software review:
If you need to replicate a Debian GNU/Linux distribution or other apt source, Apt-Mirror can make the job easy and reliable. This tool is fully compliant with apt's "sources.list" configuration and supports multithreaded downloading, multiple architectures at the same time, and automatic cleanup of unnecessary files.
Apt-Mirror is designed to work on all POSIX-compliant systems with Perl and Wget, and it can handle overloaded internet channels without making an inconsistent mirror. You can trust Apt-Mirror to produce a complete and correct replica of the original source, even if you only need to mirror a subset of packages.
Installation of Apt-Mirror is straightforward for Debian users, who just need to add a line to their "sources.list" file and run two commands with root privileges. For other users, the process involves downloading the source package, extracting it, and copying the script and configuration files to the appropriate directories. The documentation provides details on how to configure Apt-Mirror to suit your needs.
The latest release of Apt-Mirror (0.5.6) includes several improvements, such as support for newer architectures (amd64, hurd-i386, and sh), new configuration options, and a fix for the default architecture identification on non-Debian systems. If you want to manage your own Debian mirror or create a local apt repository, Apt-Mirror is definitely worth considering.
