Guys and Gals,

How do i create a local repository for Dapper, Feisty and Gutsy.

I have 3 computer running different versions of Ubuntu. I have a LOT of deb files that i acumulated and which is all in one folder. I keep this folder updated by rsync the different /var/cache/apt/archives folders.
But now i have 'old' deb files that i want to get rid of as well as creating a 'sort of a local mirror' with just the applications that i regularly install.

How do i do this without downloading the whole mirror as i have quite a lot of deb files allready? AND how do i keep this mirror updated and remove the old deb files?

Thanx for your help.

I use apt-proxy to keep a couple of ubuntu & debain boxes updated. Seems like the best solution for what you want to do.
