Quoting Jiri Baum (jiri@baum.com.au):
Instead of doing a "dpkg -i", just copy the downloaded .deb files into /var/cache/apt/archives/ on the other machines, then use apt-get as normal. That way you still only download once (other than the index files), but you get all the smarts of apt-get, eg if one of the machines is not quite like the others it'll still do the right thing.
Yeah, I was thinking that a nightly rsync cronjob on /var/cache/apt/archives/ was just the thing. -- Cheers, "kill -9 them all. Rick Moen Let init sort it out." rick@linuxmafia.com -- Joe Bednorz <bednorz@mail.net-connect.net> McQ! (4x80)
