Source: mini-dinstall Priority: optional Section: devel Maintainer: Thomas Viehmann Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 4.1.25) Build-Depends-Indep: python-dev, python-support (>= 0.3) Standards-Version: 3.7.2 Package: mini-dinstall Architecture: all Depends: ${python:Depends}, python-apt, apt-utils Suggests: debian-keyring Description: daemon for updating Debian packages in a repository This program implements a miniature version of the "dinstall" program which installs packages in the Debian archive. It doesn't require a PostgreSQL database, and is very easy to set up, maintain, and use. mini-dinstall can be run via cron, or as a daemon. . This package is expressly designed for personal apt repositories, and the like. In this vein, it contains fewer sanity checks; for example, it will happily install a lower version of a package. You can also generally just 'rm' files from the repository, and mini-dinstall won't care. In fact, (when run as a daemon) it will automatically detect that the directory changed, and update the Packages file.
