1) Please do not start a new thread - new posting with new topic - if
you want to state that your former posted problem is solved. Please do
that by replying to your previous mail.
2) I really wonder why people seem to directly mail posters on this
list. This is at least the second statement where I recognize that this
list is bypassed and the poster is contacted by private mailing. This is
not how a list works. Please communicate the official problem on the
list!
This comment is not directed to Jonathan but to those who seem to be too
shy or what else and who avoid posting to this public forum. Poor
behaviour, because it prevents the community to discuss topics with all
participants.

Creating own apt repo from cream de la cream?
by Erik Karu
Hi,
I presume following is impossible with apt:
list A, B, and C in sources.list, but use A as
"primary" repo, meaning that if a package is found
from A, don't install/update it from B or C even it's
newer there. If a package is not present in A, then
and only then use B or C.
Because I don't how to do that, I'm planning to set up
a local apt repo, with a script leeching the packages
I'm intrested in from B and C. In sources.list I'd
have A and local dir with file:/ syntax. I made the
simplest script which uses wget.. Do you think this is
wasting bw or is this the most optimal approach?
#!/bin/sh
# Repository to use - must be ftp
REPO="ftp://apt.sw.be/pub/dag/fedora/1/en/i386/RPMS.dag"
# Path to local repository
ROOT="/work/packages/fedora/1/i386"
# RPMs to fetch
RPMS="acroread dnsmasq kernel-module-ntfs lyx pine"
# Wget options
WGET="-c"
### End of configurations
cd "$ROOT/RPMS.add-ons"
for rpm in $RPMS
do
wget $WGET $REPO/$rpm\*
done
genbasedir --flat "$ROOT"
Any comments welcome!
BR, Erik.

I'd look into dnsmasq. You can find packages at:
http://dag.wieers.com/packages/dnsmasq/
It's very easy to set up for a small network DHCP/DNS and it also can do
BOOTP. I'm not sure if the documentation is very clear about BOOTP and you
may need some prior knowledge to know what to configure.
Still, dnsmasq is probably the best way to go if you don't need all the
advanced stuff from ISC bind and ISC dhcpd.
PS And if you want to score some good community-points you could volunteer
to improve the dnsmasq documentation for setting up a bootp-server.
Kind regards,

He can also try here, as this may be of some assistance..
