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



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?

Hi,
Your Question makes no sense to me!
If your distro doesn't ofer the apt command, it's not debian based.
If this is true, use the packagemanager which comes with your
distribution like yum or cypper.

Yes. I know this. I use many distros but my question was about doing this setup process with no internet connection available what so ever.

So using dvd based repos is one option.
but the build-dep command will not work if source repositories are not present. Note that yum will perhaps do the trick with the fedora dvd available, but the apt-get command certainly needs internet or at least some aptoncd. I think the option of apt clean and then kopying all the debs into a usb stick sounds a great idea.

Happy hacking.
Krishnakant.

If you have the apt command, you can use offline dvd's for installing
