Subject: apt-get: could allow installation of local files
Date: Mon, 05 Mar 2001 17:37:37 +0100
Package: apt
Version: 0.5.0
Severity: wishlist

Apt has definitely useful features that dpkg does not have, but which would
be useful locally.

Example: while doing major changes in how sets of packages relate, or while
investigating what changes will need to be done because of incompatibilities
with previous versions of other packages, sometimes dpkg just can't do the
job in one run, whereas apt has the capability of ordering unpacks, then
configuring the whole.

What I imagine would be something like "apt-get install-files file1.deb
...", which would maybe internally create a temporary internal source,
generate a Packages file for this source using the named debs, and proceed
as usual.

Do you think it's easily doable ?

It is not infeasable, but it is not terribly easy either.

Package: apt
Version: 0.5.4

Hi,

I think instalation of local packages trought apt should look like
this:

apt-get install file:/home/install/some_good_package-1.0_i386.deb

apt must read dependancy information of
/home/install/some_good_package-1.0_i386.deb and install this package
and all needed packages from repositories,described in  sources.list.

Later this metod can be extendet:

apt-get install http://debian.home.lt/some_good_package-1.0_i386.deb
(apt must download package from
http://debian.home.lt/some_good_package-1.0_i386.deb,
read dependancy information and install this package
and all needed packages from repositories,described in  sources.list.)
