This is a temporary (*) webpage for demish 0.3.0, a Debian mirror shell script. demish builds a mirror, containing only those packages (and optionally their dependencies) that the maintainer wants, and thus gives him (almost) full control over the size of the mirror. It is useful if you have a fast internet connection at work/school and a laptop or a cdwriter: just make a mirror on the laptop or cd, and update your computers at home!

Requirements: apt, apt-utils, apt-move (>= 4.1.16), whiptail, awk, dpkg-dev, lintian, perl, rsync
(rsync is only needed if you want to mirror bootdisks and/or basesystem)

29-09-2001: demish 0.3.0 is out. You can download the .tgz here (58kb) and the .deb here (62kb). The Debian-package is also available by putting "deb ftp://luon.net/debian unstable main" (or "deb ftp://luon.net/debian testing main") in your sources.list.
21-04-2001: finally, demish 0.2.3 is out! You can download it here (46kb).
