[ANNOUNCE] deb installed:/UNIONFS/ ./ - apt-method-installed

[Fabianx]

Hi,

has been a loooong time since my last announce here.

To cut things short:

I'm working on a method to retrieve deb files out of any installed system (dpkg-repack), but in a more automized way so you can do:

Put an entry like "deb installed:/UNIONFS ./" to /etc/apt/sources.list.

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

It seems to work and should make it possible to upgrade an existing installation from a Knoppix-CD as easy as one can update a debian system.

For now this is more for experts and I look forward to feedback.

For more information see:

and

Thanks goes to iso-top.info, where I am currently hacking that.
