For apt, just apt -- use its 'genbasedir' program to create the metadata.
For yum, install and use 'createrepo'.

But what you're trying to do is get updates onto new computers, right?
Running a script to update after installation isn't what I'd do; instead,
rebuild the install CDs with the old packages completely replaced.
