approx-import

NAME

approx-import - copy local .deb files into the approx cache

SYNOPSIS

approx-import [OPTION]... file.deb ...

DESCRIPTION

approx-import copies local .deb files, such as those found in /var/cache/apt/archives, into the approx(8) cache.

It does so by extracting the Debian package name, version number, and architecture from the filename. If these correspond to a package in one of the Packages files in the approx(8) cache, then the file is copied to the appropriate location in the cache.

Although the size of the file is verified to be correct before copying, the MD5, SHA1, and SHA256 cryptographic checksums are not, in the interest of speed. The approx-gc(8) command can be run subsequently for that purpose.

OPTIONS

-s, --simulate

Scan files but do not actually copy them into the cache.

-q, --quiet

Don't print the names of files that are imported.

-v, --verbose

Print information about each file.

EXAMPLES

To import packages from the local apt(8) cache:

approx-import /var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb

To import packages from another proxy's cache:

find other-cache -name "*.deb" | xargs approx-import

(where other-cache is the pathname of the other proxy's cache directory)

FILES

/etc/approx/approx.conf

Configuration file for approx and related programs.

/var/cache/approx

Cache directory for archive files.
