Description: Move cache of Debian packages into a mirror hierarchy 
 apt-move is used to move a collection of Debian package files into a
 proper archive hierarchy of the form debian/dists/...  It is intended
 as a tool to help manage the apt-get(8) file cache, but could be
 configured to work with any collection of Debian packages.  
 .
 Running apt-move periodically will assist in managing the resulting
 partial mirror by optionally removing obsolete packages, and creating
 valid local Packages.gz files.  It can also optionally employ
 rsync(1) to build a partial or complete local mirror of a Debian
 binary distribution (including an ``installed-packages only''
 mirror).  
installed-size: 160
