    Thumbs down list of updates

    Any one knows how to get the list of software needed to be installed after a:

    Code:
    sudo apt-get update
    I have and offline server (dont want to use aptoncd) and want to update it, I want to download all the updates, copy them to the apt archive directory and then run

    Code:
    sudo apt-get upgrade
    Any ideas?

    just do apt-get upgrade and then say 'no' instead of yes with proceeding.


    offline server? Not sure I understand the concept.

    Code:
    sudo apt-get upgrade --print-uris
    Should do it I think. Then copy the debs into

    /var/cache/apt/archives

    and run upgrade as normal.

    By offline I mean that is on a LAN but it can not download the deb files.

    Re: list of updates

    That will not work, your offline machine will have NO access to the latest package lists and will not be able to show you any updates. Just give Keryx a shot, i developed it for exactly your situation.

    No worries, I've got dialup at home so I have plenty of experience. Cheers!
