Hi,
I created a locale repository, defined in sources.list

deb file:///home etch/

which contains the desired packages

I added an official repository

deb ftp://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian etch main contrib

It works perfectly


I just want to tell to apt-get , that if the software is in my
REPOSITORY ( I mean /home/etch) take it from here et don't download
it from the remote server !!!

thanks for
bela

This sounds like a job for apt preferences. All you have to do is edit
/etc/apt/preferences [0] (Create it if it doesn't exist) and pin your
server to a higher value than the remote server.

I'm not sure how this would work out though, you'd probably have to
add some sort of flag to all of your local packages. Someone with more
experience might want to add to this, I've never done it before.

If the packages on the server and in your repository are the same
version then according to 'man sources.list' it should be enough to
list the local repository first. Otherwise you need pinning. See
'man apt_preferences'

This should be:

deb file:///home/etch .

cd /home/etch
dpkg-scanpackages ./ /dev/null >./Packages
gzip <Packages >Packages.gz
bzip2 <Packages >Packages.bz2
apt-get update

and if the /home/etch entry is before the ftp.fr.debian.org entry
it is always tried first since "apt-get" and "aptitude" trying one
after one in the list.
