I just installed apt cacher ng for catching my apt upgrade packages and saw a huge time improvement even though I have a good internet connection. It act as a proxy and caches the response packages.
Do you run something similar? Or maybe even run a local repo mirror? Warning, they are really big so I don’t think it is recommended unless you really need almost everything.
The dvds are fine for offline use. But I dont know how to keep them updated. Probably result in taking loads of spaces as I guess they are equal to a repo mirror
So what are you using for a local repository mirror? apt-mirror or ftpsync? I usually keep ISOs for the architectures that interest me using jigdo as it can update them later on.
ISOs are harder to maintain for sure but they’re more standalone and might survive adversities better.
