Cannot use local repository

[MrReplikant]

Hello,

Full disclosure: I am a Devuan Developer who is running this on my machine that has a full-offline copy of the Devuan Repository.

The repo was created with apt-mirror and apt has no issues with installing from it as apt normally would.

CubeGet, however, is failing to grab the Packages.gz file, which IS present and intact within the mirror. I can't understand why. This issue is rendering CubeGet unuseable

Devuan version is Devuan Testing, currently codenamed Daedalus, which is currently in-step with Debian Bookworm

Hi, apologies for the late response 🙏

It might be an issue with way cubeget parses the /etc/apt/sources.list file or files under /etc/apt/sources.list.d.
I mostly followed format from Ubuntu, but not all formats are not yet added, if that's the case.

Can you share the error or your sources.list file?

Here is a copy of the entry:

deb file:/home/replikant/mirror/mirror/pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged daedalus main contrib non-free

I greatly appreciate your cooperation

Hmm, currently we don't support file format (Local mirror). I haven't considered this during the development and might take time to be implemented.

What I can suggest is to add devuan remote repository to your sources.list when using cube-get so that it can get the latest repositories.

deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus main contrib non-free

I appreciate you taking the time to look into this for me. Please, do let me know when local repositories are supported. I have a large swath of the Devuan Repo mirrored and updated daily. And I have no doubt there are several members of the Devuan Team and Community who would love to see this happen. Thanks again, Friend.
