APT Repository mirroring

TheStarLion · 04-13-2010, 07:37 PM

I've got a repository (3rd party, but not a launchpad one) in my APT sources list that takes a long time to respond on apt-get update.

What I was wondering was if I could keep a local mirror of just that repository, and have apt-get update refer to it instead of the normal one, then leave a cron job to check the normal one for any updates.

Hey Star Lion, try google and there are lots of resources/how to available, see below I found these two interesting:

I haven't test these but seems easy to follow...

Thanks
