making repository from DVD/CD Image

Hi, on the debian blog someone postet a shellscript that creates a local repository from an iso image. http://blog.daniel-baumann.ch/2006/01/01#20060101_repository-from-images

since I have a really slow internet connection and somtimes play arround with my installation, i would love to see this converted to ubuntu to build a full featured local repo.

thx

I just bulid my own repository today containint all my an my roommates kubuntu and ubuntu packages. Not the ones from the installation but the ones downloaded with apt. I followed this howto: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/repository-howto/repository-howto

I mountet an external harddisk at /home/anta/repo

I added the packages downloaded with apt. These are in /var/cache/apt/archives. Those i put in: /home/anta/repo/dists/breezy/main/ Then (so apt can read the repo):

mkdir /home/anta/repo/breezy/main/binary-i386

I also added the packages from the ubuntu install cd locate in /media/cdrom0/pool. Those are in /home/anta/repo/dists/breezy/cd/

mkdir /home/anta/repo/breezy/cd/binary-i386

and finally build the repository:

dpkg-scanpackages dists/breezy/main/ /dev/null | gzip -9c > dists/breezy/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz

dpkg-scanpackages dists/breezy/cd/ /dev/null | gzip -9c > dists/breezy/cd/binary-i386/Packages.gz

Then the repository can be added:

deb file:/home/anta/repo/ breezy main cd
