Hi,
I know there are a couple of different options for caching .deb packages to a machine, but I've not yet found something that works well for Distribution Updates.
We have about 10 Ubuntu machines here that we want to update to 11.10 when it arrives but I don't want to download all the packages every time.
When you run the update-manager -d, it replaces all your sources which then bypasses how things like apt-mirror seem to work.
Any ideas on the best way to only have to download the packages once and update the other machines from the local network?
Thanks,
Dave
