Is there a less painful way to do offline package upgrades in Ubuntu?
I was using debian's repository for the longest time to get individual packages, then found launchpad. Is there a script or something that will tell you what the dependencies are then let you copy them to a thumbdrive or something?
I know online upgrades are great but there are some cases where online isn't an option.
Here's an example. Getting wine. There used to be this repository of .debs from the wine website, but now I can't find it. Launchpad has it, but it's all individual files.
