[β] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 54 points 10 months ago (3 children) How would one go about making an offline copy of the repos?

Having a bunch of PKGBUILD files isn't very useful. I guess you could compile all the things, if you had a lot of spare processing power.

Debian, and its base packages have mirroring instructions here. Third party repos would need mirroring separately. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] cenzorrll@piefed.ca 5 points 10 months ago Hmm, 3tb to mirror all the architectures I have around is very tempting. I have an unused dual bay external, and another one that desperately needs (wants) to have its 4tb drives upgraded. permalink fedilink source parent [+] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip -8 points 10 months ago* man rsync man cron xdg-open \ https://lmgtfy.app/?q=debian+rsync+mirror permalink fedilink source parent
