Re: [orca-list] how to install build dependencies for orca without internet

[Michael Whapples <mwhapples aim com>]

Hello Krishnakant,
I think here's an answer for what you are asking, although may be its a 
bit of overkill just for the task of orca build dependencies, you may 
have other needs for it anyway so worth considering.

Have a look at 
http://popey.com/blog/2006/10/24/Creating_an_Ubuntu_repository_mirror_with_apt-mirror/, 
admittedly that posting is a bit old, but debian unstable still has 
apt-mirror so may be its still relevant and a good starting point. It 
was the first result I got when doing a search on google for "how do I 
mirror ubuntu repository" (without the quote marks).

On debian I find other tools like debpartial-mirror and debmirror which 
I think may help in creating a local mirror with just what you want 
should the bandwidth be a concern.

Does any of this help?
