Aptly is a swiss army knife for Debian repository management.

Documentation is available at http://www.aptly.info/. For support use mailing list aptly-discuss.

Aptly features: ("+" means planned features)

• make mirrors of remote Debian/Ubuntu repositories, limiting by components/architectures
• take snapshots of mirrors at any point in time, fixing state of repository at some moment of time
• publish snapshot as Debian repository, ready to be consumed by apt
• controlled update of one or more packages in snapshot from upstream mirror, tracking dependencies
• merge two or more snapshots into one
• filter repository by search query, pulling dependencies when required (+)
• publish self-made packages as Debian repositories (+)
• mirror repositories "as-is" (without resigning with user's key) (+)
• support for yum repositories (+)

Current limitations:

• debian-installer and translations not supported yet

Currently aptly is under heavy development, so please use it with care.

Binary executables (depends almost only on libc) are available for download from Bintray.

If you have Go environment set up, you can build aptly from source by running (go 1.1+ required):

go get github.com/smira/aptly

If you don't have Go installed (or older version), you can easily install Go using gvm.
