**Seeking Advice: Managing a Local APT Package Mirror with Custom Tags**
Hello everyone,
I'm looking for some advice and best practices on managing a local APT package mirror with custom tags. Here's the scenario I'm working with:
**The Goal**
I have set up the local APT mirror using
apt-mirror
, and it works fine for me.
But I need to organize the packages on my local APT mirror with custom tags, allowing client machines to install packages based on these tags. I came across the debtags
tool, which seems to allow for the manual addition of tags to packages. However, I'm open to other suggestions or methods that might be more efficient or easier to manage.
**Questions**
- Has anyone implemented a similar setup using debtags? If so, how did
it work out for you?
- Are there any other tools or methods that you would recommend for
managing package tags and installations?
- How do you handle distributing tag information to multiple client
machines efficiently?
- Any tips on automating this process to reduce manual work?
