Description-en: daemon for updating Debian packages in a repository
This program implements a miniature version of the "dinstall" program
which installs packages in the Debian archive. It doesn't require a
PostgreSQL database, and is very easy to set up, maintain, and use.
mini-dinstall can be run via cron, or as a daemon.
.
This package is expressly designed for personal apt repositories, and
the like. In this vein, it contains fewer sanity checks; for
example, it will happily install a lower version of a package. You
can also generally just 'rm' files from the repository, and
mini-dinstall won't care. In fact, (when run as a daemon) it will
automatically detect that the directory changed, and update the
Packages file.
